Expecting Dubai Affair to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. TRIBAL COUNCIL (4) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to miss an unlikely win by a nose this track/distance. Keeps the handy 2kg claim and is likely to settle close. Fitter and will be tough to beat. DUBAI AFFAIR (11) brings a string of narrow defeats to resumption. Has been off the scene for a while but she's impressed at the trials and top hoop is booked. Draws an outside barrier but has the early speed to manage that. UPHEAVAL (8) went well enough here on debut and with the extra fitness and experience can get some of the cash. RAGING WATERS (2) may be next best dropping back to a sprint, freshened up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tribal Council with the race fitness.
