AELA MAHLEK (1) was an emphatic winner last time over 1600m at this track with today's rider Ricardo Ferreira engaged. Has a solid record at this circuit. Sure to go well. MOTATHABETAH (12) is a speedy filly who was a winner first up at Group 3 level at this track seven weeks ago. Takes on much easier opposition this time. Bold showing expected. BADR ALSAMAWI (4) proved too strong last start and scored by 2.75 lengths over 1800m in Group 3 grade at this track. Has a decent record at this track with two wins and three minor placings from six starts. Significant class drop this time. Capable of taking this out. HAJAAN (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 5 lengths at today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
