Fast tempo assured with Lemon Pop, Bathrat Leon and Igniter going at each other early in the piece. Champions Cup winner LEMON POP (7) is back from a break of four months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when 12th over 1800m at Riyadh Dirt. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. SHAMAL (2) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 2.5 lengths over 1600m at Funabashi. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four runs. Big chance once again. Multiple Grade 2 winner BATHRAT LEON (9) is back from a break of four months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when tenth over 1351m at Riyadh. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Should be involved in the finish. Multiple Grade 3 placegetter TAGANO BEAUTY (11) finished second last time over 1600m at Funabashi when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.5 lengths. In the right race and is one of the big hopes.
