Verdict

BUSSENTO (1) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when sixth over 1m at this track. Cherry-ripe now, and is a great chance to break through. PEDRO VALENTINO (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 7f at Sakhir Inner, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has a solid second-up record. Strips fitter and can feature. CHIMGAN (3) was safely held when resuming last start over 1 ?m at Sakhir Inner, finishing sixth. He is fitter now and will be in this for a long way. MAXIMUM IMPACT (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 7f at Sakhir Inner, beaten 5 lengths. Strips fitter and can feature in the finish. Each way value.
