Forecasts

Big Team (11/4), Kabirkhan (3/1), Go Soldier Go (9/2), Naxos (9/2), Kafoo (12/1), Hero Mo (14/1), Mr Raj (16/1), Celtic Prince (18/1), Book Review (18/1), For The Top (20/1), Lahresh (33/1), Simjangui Godong (40/1), Firnas (66/1)

Verdict

BIG TEAM is in a better type of race than last time but that effort is just about the pick on recent form in this line up. Kafoo can come out best of the remainder, while Hero Mo shouldn't be underestimated on first UAE start.
