Asadjumeirah ended last year with a victory over track and trip and will be sharper for a recent comeback run. A tongue-tie is fitted for the first time today while Beyond Equal may figure back dropping back down in both class and trip. Many A Star is another with a chance back at this level while Eye Of Heaven makes his handicap debut on his first start since September. But BAY WATCH included a couple of course and distance wins in last year’s hat-trick and, with a recent third here under his belt, he gets the vote racing off the same mark.
