Forecasts

Jet Dark (2/1), Linebacker (4/1), Russian Rock (6/1), Al Muthana (15/2), Mk's Pride (10/1), Silver Operator (10/1), Supreme Warrior (10/1), Prince Of Fire (22/1), Crown Towers (28/1), Bingwa (40/1), Chimichuri Run (40/1), Eden Roc (80/1)

AL MUTHANA holds a considerable advantage formwise and is well up to winning this easily. Bingwa can get the better of the remainder for second, while Mk's Pride heads up those chasing third place.
