New Approach gelding. Half-brother to a pair of winners in France. Cost 10,000 UAE as a 3-y-o. Doesn't have a dirt pedigree and hard to make a case for on belated debut.

Mohaymen colt. Half-brother to a couple of winners in US. Cost $125,000 as a 2-y-o. Wouldn't need to be above-average to make presence felt on debut.

Forecasts

Eljenob (2/1), Mezzotinto (9/2), Sikorsky (7/1), Distorted Effort (8/1), Rayed (10/1), Bin Askar (12/1), Golden Arch (14/1), Waqet (14/1), Zagros (18/1), Act Of Reason (25/1), Al Moohaajim (25/1), Mutual Promise (28/1), Midnight Deal (33/1), Emirates Voice (40/1), Fabrizio (40/1), Imperial Square (40/1)

Verdict

MEZZOTINTO has been running well and is narrowly selected in quite an open maiden. Distorted Effort is a danger, while Rayed represents top connections and shouldn't be underestimated on debut.
