Selections:-
15.35 Mendip, I put the selection up 14 days ago where he won nicely and whilst this is alot stronger and has a bad draw in stall 14 I think he is improving fast and fancy his chances in this race.
16.15 War Artist, Won readily last time out, beating a number of these and hard to oppose.
16.50 Forgotten Voice, Should have come on for run here over a month ago now and should take all the beating.
17.35 Purple Moon, This is a bit of a gamble as the selection has been off the track for nearly a year and is sure to come on for the run, but he is very classy and I tipped him up for glory in the Sheema classic on this site last year,will probably be an e/w price so as such happy to put him forward.
18.10 Vodka, Class above these and should be hard to beat.
18.45 Presvis, Has to give weight away but with Ryan Moore back on board he should run a bold race today-as the pair were a superb combination last year at Nad Al Sheba.
