|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Loads of pressure, primarily from American Stage, Protoporos and Tagano Mist. AMERICAN STAGE (9) started twice last campaign both in Dubai, placing in the G3 Mahab Al Shimaal then wasn't far away in the Grade 1 Dubai Golden Shaheen won by Dark Saffron. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Resuming in far easier and likely to feature. STAR TURN (4) lines up for the first time since June 8. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1200m at this track. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. KITANO'S EDGE (3) returns after a spell of four months. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Has a big finish and will appreciate the hot speed up front here. Will be dropping on them late. TAGANO MIST (12) has been kept fresh since she resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by a nose over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Has a solid second-up record and despite the wide draw can give a sight again.
