Khalkissa is the obvious choice here to give Frankie Dettori a winning ride, with Dicharachera and Vicereine looking to battle it out for the runners up spot. Saeed bin Suroor's filly had just one two year old outing for David Loder when a promising seventh behind Illustria, and looked to have wintered well when landing what looked a competitive maiden at Nad al Sheba. Obviously she's had her training problems since, having not seen a racecourse since March, but she won't have to be a superstar to win this. Dicharachera took a maiden at Sandown in good style back in August and wasn't disgraced in a valuable handicap at Ascot last time when finishing a close up ninth behind Tadris. Meanwhile Vicereine comes into the equation after running well in a listed race at Yarmouth last time out. But Khalkissa has bags of scope and is taken to land the prize
