Smart horse. Career best when winning 6-runner Dubawi Stakes at this C&D (15/8) 21 days ago by 3 lengths from Mufasa, soon clear. Is the one to beat on recent form.

5/2
Smart gelding. First run since leaving Julio Olascoaga and 11/2, ran up to best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D 42 days ago, despite a wide trip. Can give a good account back up in grade.

Forecasts

El Nasseeb (1/1), Drew's Gold (5/2), Mufasa (9/2), Dark Saffron (11/1), Colour Up (25/1), Morning (28/1)

Verdict

EL NASSEEB arrives in great heart and is hard to oppose in this Group 3. Old rival Mufasa just about makes most appeal of the rest, while Drew's Gold should also be thereabouts.

  1. El Nasseeb1/1
  2. Mufasa9/2
  3. Drew's Gold5/2
