BADRAN (7) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1800m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Should be prominent from the outset. Looks a top prospect to break through this time. BABYLON (6) resumes from a spell of six months after closing off last preparation with four consecutive minor placings. Sure to be right there at the business end. AKHO JAWAHER (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2000m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. QUS (14) finished in the frame last time, beaten 8 lengths at this track over 2400m. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Can feature in the finish.
