Genuine tempo with the speedy Igniter leading the way. SILENCE TIME (7) saluted at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in contention on the corner before finishing third over 1400m at this track, beaten 0.6 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. IGNITER (6) returns from a spell of ten weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when 11th over 1200m in Group 2 grade at Riyadh Dirt. Has a good record here at this journey with five wins and a minor placing from seven starts. Will be hard to stop. DON KA PONO (5) sat just off the speed and fought on well to finish second when resuming last start at this course and distance. Record here is impressive with three wins from nine starts. Expected to run well. SMART RAPTOR (10) started at $3.10 last time. Well fancied and did run well in fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Wataru Hirose who has two wins when partnering stays on. Among the top-three hopes.
