Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. GIMME'S LADDIE (1) returns from a spell which may have done him the world of good. Two of his five career victories have come over this course and distance. If jumping on terms, he can return to winning form. USA'S HOPE (3) was in need of his last start over 1400m on the polytrack. He would have come on from the run and is the stable elect with Craig Zackey in the saddle. On best form shown, he should be competitive. DUBAI HILLS (5) has good consistent form lines to his credit. He has won three times and finished second twice from six starts over this distance. He is at his best on the polytrack, but is holding form well and merits healthy respect. FOREST SPY (6) has won twice, finished second five times and third once from ten starts over this course and distance. If jumping on level terms he can place.
