Selections:-
14.30 Mendip - I was there when he won at Kempton and looks an exciting prospect for not only this race but the future, Frankies choice in this race which hopefully means he is fit and ready to do justice.
15.05 Swop - Fit from a run here on the opening night and with Fallon on board is sure to go well.
15.45 Monte Alto - Been running well without winning , again should be in the frame with course and distance no issue.
16.20 Bab Al Salam - Dissapointing effort on debut run here few weeks back. but may have needed that and likely hood that he will be big price today, on that basis could be a good e/w bet.
17.05 Raihana - Has looked a decent prospect and probably is going to prove a class apart in this race and looks set to give trainer first UAE 1000 Guineas.
17.40 Gayego - High class form and has proved a revelation after switch to sprinter from miler-the one to beat.
18.15 Frozen Fire - Ran over trip short of his best last time out and with step up to 12f in his favour im hoping for a better performance.
18.50 Spring Of Fame - A horse I rate quite highly, Godolphins second string here and Shaweel may be hard to beat but if the selection is primed could put up a huge run.
