Forecasts

Pitcher's Point (10/3), Qareeb (10/3), American Dancer (4/1), Zucchini (4/1), Tolmount (13/2), Untold Secret (8/1), Melicertes (14/1), Ittmaam (28/1)

ZUCCHINI looks to have narrowly the best credentials and is the tentatuve selection in a trappy affair. A pair of UAE newcomers, Qareeb and Pitcher's Point, can fight it out for minor honours.
