Plenty of pace from Merkur, Calligraphy and Sound Pegasus ahead of Grand Themis. AL RIHLA (6) missed the placings two runs back then was always well out of her ground last start when 12 lengths away in seventh over 1400m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. GRAND THEMIS (9) improved last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SOUND PEGASUS (8) raced on speed last time before fading to finish ninth over 1400m at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. One of the main contenders. AMOR FATI (3) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Sure to be in the mix.
