Expert Choice and El Bosnia have both won recently but the form is not very strong and preference is for OLYMPIC CANDLE. Saeed bin Suroor's gelding was an eye-catching fifth in a stronger race over C&D last month. Stablemate Arabic Art may be the main threat.
MONFRID made a good start at Jebel Ali a fortnight ago and could be the way to go back over 7f. Spanish runner El Bosnia is interesting again, while Olympic Candle can have a say as well for Godolphin.

SMART SYSTEM's two wins at this venue in recent months have both been very impressive and even a 10lb rise for the latest of those wins may still underestimate him. The shortlist is completed by Strobe and Cats By Five.
Preference is for SMART SYSTEM, who is really getting his act together now for his new yard and made it back-to-back wins at this track with the visor applied 3 weeks ago. The main danger may emerge from Lahfaty, who put up a career best when scoring at Jebel Ali recently and is just 3 lb higher here. Pen Portrait had a bit up his sleeve when scoring here last week and he can edge out Falcon of Arabia for third.

THUNDER OF NIAGARA disappointed at Abu Dhabi last time but is a leading contender based on his third over 6f here in February. Jungle Mac was second on that latter occasion and is an obvious threat, while Markakol is next best.
MUKAAFAH ended his 3-y-o campaign in Britain with a couple of disappointing efforts but remains a sprinter with potential and can get his career back on track on his first outing for a new stable. Last month's C&D scorer Markakol could emerge as the main threat ahead of Thunder of Niagara.

ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU has been showing outstanding early pace over much further than this of late and she is likely to relish this speed test. Dark Saffron could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Feeraas.
This may develop into a straight fight between useful pair DARK SAFFRON and Arigatou Gozaimasu, with preference for the former who has already shown he can do it over this trip. Awab looks best of the rest unless newcomer Elusive Trevor is decent.

Pipes And Drums and Million Doro have the ability to go well but the trip is a concern for both. With that in mind, NORATO gets the vote after a promising effort over 7f at Jebel Ali.
Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and NORATO, who rates the pick of the weights, is taken to gain a breakthrough victory at the chief expense of fellow in-form maiden Million Doro. Pipes And Drums and Border Edge both need factoring in too.
