Forecasts

Sadaaty (15/8), Monaadah (3/1), Meshtri (7/1), Thegreatcollection (7/1), Silent Speech (12/1), Mutaany (14/1), Meshakel (14/1), Street Mood (16/1), Tamborrada (20/1), Perfect Love (22/1), Andreas Vesalius (33/1), Dahawi (33/1), Desert Peace (50/1), Tranquil Night (50/1)

An intriguing contest and marginal preference is for handicap debutant MONAADAH who has some good form to his name. Perfect Love is on an attractive mark and should be on the premises, while the unexposed Meshtri is an interesting contender at the foot of the weights.
