4/1
Produced a career best as he gained a second win on the UAE dirt this winter in 10-runner handicap (5/4) at this course (7f) last week, leading final 1f. 7 lb higher but fancied to be in the shake up.

10/1
C&D winner on debut. Two wins from 5 runs last year. 9/2, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Jebel Ali (6f) 12 days ago. Has to be taken seriously from just 3 lb higher.

Made it back-to-back course wins in 14-runner handicap at this C&D 3 weeks ago by 2¾ lengths from Pen Portrait. Every chance he can bring up the hat-trick with de Sousa booked.

Forecasts

Smart System (2/1), Deep Hope (4/1), Pen Portrait (4/1), Cats By Five (8/1), Strobe (10/1), Lahfaty (10/1), Sir Harmony (11/1), Falcon Of Arabia (28/1), Freedom Fighter (28/1), Miqyaas (40/1)

Verdict

Preference is for SMART SYSTEM, who is really getting his act together now for his new yard and made it back-to-back wins at this track with the visor applied 3 weeks ago. The main danger may emerge from Lahfaty, who put up a career best when scoring at Jebel Ali recently and is just 3 lb higher here. Pen Portrait had a bit up his sleeve when scoring here last week and he can edge out Falcon of Arabia for third.
