Forecasts

Arcanears (4/1), Qaabil (5/1), Harbanaker (5/1), Leabaland (6/1), Feature This (15/2), Tanseeq (15/2), Stardayz (8/1), Search For Thestar (11/1), Phoenix Open (16/1), Jazz Dreamers (22/1), Sweeping Statement (25/1), Back O' The Net (66/1)

Though it's been a while since ARCANEARS last hit the target, he has dripped to an attractive mark and has been promising to come good of late. The 8-y-o is taken to notch a fifth win at this course, perhaps at the chief expense of handicap debutant Search For Thestar, who didn't shape at all badly in a C&D maiden back from a break here last month. Phoenix Open will bea threat if on-song but last-time-out winners Feature This, Harbanaker and Stardayz all look vulnerable off their revised marks.
