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

From the wide draw Tacit can cross and set up a solid tempo. CERVINIA (7) was last at the races when she finished sixth over 2410m in the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan on April 5. Dual Grade One winner who looks too classy for this field. SHIVERS (8) was last at the races when he saluted over 1600m at this track on April 6. Distance specialist who is yet to win at this level but rates highly and is likely to be prominent. LEBENSSTIL (6) returns from a spell of five months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when 12th over 2200m in the G2 American Jockey Club Cup at Nakayama. Definite top-three chance. DAVID BAROWS (10) is coming off a last-start ninth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1800m at Tokyo in the Gr 3 Epsom Cup. Each-way chance at this level.
