7/2

Smart gelding. Didn't need to improve to win 15-runner Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint (4/7) at this course (5f, good) 35 days ago by ¾ length from Ponntos. Has to be respected.

Form: 121-211

Forecasts

Believing (3/1), Howdeepisyourlove (3/1), West Acre (7/2), Regional (6/1), Audience (7/1), Marbaan (18/1), Isivunguvungu (18/1), Puro Magic (28/1), Quinault (28/1), Win Carnelian (66/1), Danon Mckinley (100/1)

BELIEVING proved most consistent in Group 1 company last season, so she appeals as the most solid option on her return to action. West Acre has to be feared given his recent improvement, with Howdeepisyourlove another interesting contender based on his very smart form in Hong Kong.
