Forecasts

Kanood (10/11), Sea Stone (11/2), Zucchini (13/2), Dublin Pharaoh (17/2), Daneyan (16/1), Act Of Wisdom (18/1), Perfect Balance (18/1), Last Light (20/1), City King (25/1), Game Master (33/1), Orientalism (33/1)

SEA STONE can make a winning UAE debut but will need to be on point to continue his good start in handicaps. Kanood has been beaten less than a length on each of his last 3 starts and can finish in the places again. Zucchini is in good form and has to be taken seriously.
