SHADOW (3) surprised many by landing his maiden victory by 2.25 lengths over 1800m at this track. Shaping up nicely and a bold showing is expected. DUBAMEEN (2) finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1800m at this track four weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will prove tough to beat. HAKAN (6) was close to a win before a break, starting favourite at the latest appearance and finishing third at this track. Tackling a longer journey this time. Strong winning chance on best figures. SHOQAB (1) was safely held when 11th last start over 1800m at this track after a good first-up win at this track. Should be thereabouts.
