THE SAUDI ARABIA ROYAL CUP 1600m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Keen tempo headed by the fleet-footed Arlecchino. ARLECCHINO (3) is yet to miss the placings in two starts, including a win. Has not been produced since he scored over 1600m at Niigata on August 3. Should be prominent from the outset and prove tough to beat. ARTE VELOCE (1) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1500m at Sapporo ten weeks ago and has not appeared since. Sure to improve and can make it back-to-back wins. MEINER TICKET (4) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a neck over 1600m at Chukyo. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Should be in the finish again. SHIN FOREVER (6) ran ninth at his latest appearance in the Gr 3 Niigata Nisai Stakes over 1600m, clocking in 7 lengths from the winner. Can do a lot better in this easier race.
