Forecasts

Mojeyrr (5/2), Atlantic Sky (8/1), Shanaghai City (17/2), Gioia Cieca (17/2), Major Cinnamon (10/1), Al Shibli (10/1), Al Muzn (10/1), Onda Ruggente (10/1), Davy Lamp (14/1), Black Mark (16/1), Persian Empire (22/1), Haiuao Alarb (28/1), Batraan (33/1)

This is a very trappy contest but a chance is taken on MOJEYRR on his first UAE start. Major Cinnamon is interesting stepping back up in trip and can edge Onda Ruggente for second.
