Verdict

HIAB AL ZAMAN (2) scored a commanding win at Group 3 level at this track over 1m at his latest appearance on March 21. One of the genuine hopes in the race. KALICE DE CARRERE (4) returned from a break of almost two and a half years with a solid third last start at Abu Dhabi over 1m. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Expected to run well. INDYS DAY (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1 ½m at Abu Dhabi. His second-up record is very strong. With added fitness, he is one of the key runners. NASSIF (5) missed the frame fresh up on turf at Abu Dhabi and then only battled there over 1 ?m last time out. Well placed in this easier race. Too good to ignore.
