GEINA (12) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at Al Ain over 1600m. Has the speed to be prominent. Likely to feature. SHAMAN (8) is a first-starter by Al Mourtajez out of Case D'or. Placed in a recent trial. Among the leading each-way chances. AL FAKIR DU LOUP (3) is a colt by Al Mourtajez out of Sirene Du Loup on debut. Fitter for a recent trial. Keep an eye on betting moves. AAMEED (1) is an imported three-year-old having his first run in this area for the Eric Lemartinel stable. Back from a break after finishing well back over 1600m at Toulouse at his last appearance three-and-a-half months ago. Expect a much better run fresh up in this.
