Almaqam looks a worthy favorite in this fascinating contest, but can be taken on at the odds for me. Not the choice of Buick, but Arabian Crown I thought was of some interest back here where he boasts a good record. Posted wide on his return at Meydan, he got beaten by the break and ended up pulling too hard with Buick dictating a steady pace and making all on Silver Knott. If he can get to the front here, there doesn’t look to be much pace involved, and with Ryan Moore aboard for what I think is a first ride for Appleby, he could be in the right hands to set the right tempo. The drop back in trip is a plus for him in that regard too if he can get forward.

Another really interesting race with chances all over, with the top 5 in the market split by just 3lbs. It’s another race that lacks obvious pace, and I thought Haatem was on the overpriced side here with Buick setting the fractions. His 3yo form speaks for itself and plants him firmly in the mix here as his rating would suggest. Of the others, the lack of pace would surely count against Tamfana and she may struggle to concede weight to the males here, Alcantor has it to prove on a sounder surface, Dancing Gemini needs to prove that his last run was no fluke and it’s hardly been franked, and whilst Lead Artist probably has the highest ceiling of these I’d wager he has targets over further. Overall I just felt Haatem was too big with potential for a soft lead.
