IBN ALWALEED (2) impressed when successful on debut over 1600m at this track seven weeks ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. ALSABEA (5) improved last time out, finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. WALAD (18) finished 8 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1600m at this track a week ago as $3 favourite. Steps up in distance today. Should be prominent from the low draw. Should be involved in the finish. ALWATHEG (1) was below his best last time when sixth over 1600m at this track, beaten 20 lengths. Well placed and should be in the mix.
