|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expect a strong tempo with World's End pressing on from an outside draw, with Sixpence nearby. GAIA FORCE (14) resumes. Not beaten far last run in the rich G1 Dubai Turf at Meydan. Ran on hard but found one better in this last year. Yet to win this grade but has the ratings and gets chance. TROVATORE (17) was a fast finishing winner in easier grade fresh. Well beaten in this last year but form since much better. Improver with winning prospects. LEBENSSTIL (1) comes here off a break of nine weeks. Grade 2 winner when last resuming. Top record here and drawn for a soft run. Expected to play a major role. PANJA TOWER (16) last appeared when he finished fourth over 1200m in the G1 Takamatsunomiya Kinen at Chukyo on March 29. Unbeaten here and won only try course and distance which was a Grade 1 win. Expect a forward showing. STELLENBOSCH (6) just missed fresh and goes well second-up. Among the top chances.
