Forecasts

Naxos (5/4), Desert Safari (13/2), My Dubawi (15/2), Triple Venture (15/2), Falsehood (9/1), Island Rule (12/1), Haasim (12/1), Onda Ruggente (20/1), Restrict (25/1), Bay Of Honour (28/1), Shanty Star (33/1), Aeonian (33/1), Desert Peace (50/1)

FALSEHOOD's fitness needs to be taken on trust but he still appeals as the best option in a trappy race. Desert Safari may be best of the rest, while Triple Venture also demands scrutiny for place purposes.
