Forecasts

Mubakker (7/4), Mcmanaman (7/2), Lavaspin (6/1), Vasari (13/2), On The Warpath (15/2), Alkaraama (10/1), Leading Spirit (18/1), Melicertes (25/1)

MUBAKKER shaped encouragingly on UAE debut in April and should be bang there in an open race. Lavaspin can come out best of the rest, while Alkaraama merits respect as well.
