Forecasts

Poker Face (13/8), Ottoman Fleet (15/8), San Donato (7/1), Noble Dynasty (9/1), Holloway Boy (10/1), Royal Dubai (20/1), Dolayli (25/1), Cairo (28/1), Tamborrada (66/1)

Verdict

POKER FACE is a class act and has a good record fresh so looks the way to go on his first run at Meydan. Ottoman Fleet is the danger, while Holloway Boy should go well too.

  1. Poker Face13/8
  2. Ottoman Fleet15/8
  3. Holloway Boy10/1
