Dual winner in Kazakhstan. Struggled in good company here at the beginning of 2025 but more realistic chance in handicaps.

Forecasts

Shepperton Lodge (10/3), Ezaj (10/3), Poster Paint (11/2), Arlan (13/2), Book Review (15/2), Moonshiner (15/2), Kathab (9/1), Dubai Welcome (20/1), Al Mukhtar (25/1), Arabian Tale (33/1), Magic Petition (40/1), Deciduous (40/1)

Verdict

POSTER PAINT has been cut some slack by the handicapper so it's worth chancing his fitness after 8 months off. Moonshiner posted a couple of good placed efforts earlier in the year, including on dirt, and is second choice ahead of Book Review. Sole 3-y-o Arlan is one who could find things easier now handicapping for the first time.

  1. Poster Paint11/2
  2. Moonshiner15/2
  3. Book Review15/2
