Forecasts

Mozahim (1/1), My Dubawi (5/2), Asad Zabeel (6/1), Onight (9/1), Andreas Vesalius (12/1), Al Khaldie (14/1), Black Mark (25/1), Imprison (25/1), Manitou (28/1)

MOZAHIM looked highly promising when winning his first 2 starts here and can get back on track after a slightly disappointing Meydan effort last time. Asad Zabeel is back down in class and can push him closest, while the returning My Dubawi is another to consider.
