This is competitive. SANDUHAN (6) is a six-time AW winner who produced a much better effort when runner-up in a 1200m conditions event on damp dirt at Kocaeli last time. Had struggled in his previous outings but could go one better now dropping in grade. LODATO (2) won over 1200m at this venue in September before a solid third in a handicap at the same track last month. Rates the main danger. MANCUNIAN BEDII (1) has been below his best recently but landed a 1200m handicap here in October and warrants respect. NIGHT JAWEL (5) shaped better when fourth attempting 1400m at this course last time and may feature.
