Dubai Rainbow scored over the course and distance in September but was racing from 5lb higher when beaten into third behind LOADED (NAP) last month. The winner was well supported when attempting a quick double two days later but was impeded early in the race and couldn't get back into contention. He can gain compensation though La Derniere Fois was paying her first visit to the track when accounting for Tribal Path over 7f in October and though 7lb higher should give a good account. Nam has won twice here though is on a much higher mark nowadays but Passing Trade made a decent start on the surface last week and can be expected to improve.
