Forecasts

Al Suhail (11/4), Sight Success (3/1), Al Dasim (4/1), Duke Wai (10/1), Flaming Rib (11/1), Ladies Church (12/1), Cazadero (18/1), The Astrologist (22/1), Logo Hunter (25/1), Happy Romance (33/1), San Donato (33/1), Miqyaas (33/1), Danyah (40/1), Pogo (40/1), Raaed (50/1), Thunder Of Niagara (80/1)

SIGHT SUCCESS brings very smart Hong Kong form to the table, and in the hope he's capable of replicating that at this venue, he looks the way to go. 3-y-o Al Dasim is improving at a rate of knots and is a big threat in receipt of weight, while Al Suhail's form over longer trips reads pretty well in the context of this.
