Al Ain Oasis, Major Quality and Big Ryuo will push to ahead and set a solid tempo. AL AIN OASIS (5) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fifth over 2200m at this track. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. MARRON ROCHER (3) improved sharply on his 11th two starts back at this track with a win over 1800m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention. BELGARATH (4) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 11 when beaten 6 lengths into eighth at this track over 1600m. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to take this out. MAJOR QUALITY (9) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished tenth at Fukushima Dirt over 1700m when first-up last time in work.
