Pakistan Star³⁸²

7/2

Quirky ex-Hong Kong trainee who has shipped to the UAE to try and spark a revival. Virtually refused to race last time and was pulled up early. Unproven on dirt and a risky proposition.

Forecasts

Pakistan Star (7/2), Saltarin Dubai (9/2), Casey Jones (9/2), Firnas (5/1), George Villiers (11/2), For The Top (6/1), Just A Penny (8/1), Montsarrat (12/1), Zaman (28/1)

FOR THE TOP got back on track on his latest run and should give another good account back on dirt. Saltarin Dubai might be the answer to second place, while Just A Penny also requires a closer look.
