Forecasts

Mr Raj (5/2), Sharar (5/2), Go Soldier Go (3/1), Nyaar (9/2), Mr Precocious (12/1), Mashkoor (20/1), Al Khawaneej Spirt (25/1), Houb Al Wattan (28/1), More Ginebra (28/1), Qaiser (33/1)

SHARAR showed plenty on debut and can show the benefit of that initial experience. Mr Raj is hard to ignore in the search for second, while Go Soldier Go can see out the 1-2-3.
