Verdict
Musdam and Dubai Mission are similar in that both have gone close over 7f and drop to 6f for the first time. MAZZINI (NAP) went close on the all-weather in December and plugged-on for third in testing ground at Doncaster last month. But James Fanshawe’s colt may well come good on this faster surface given entries in Group 1 sprints later in the year take the eye. Saeed Bin Suroor sent out last year’s winner so Silent Attack could go well while Princess Momoka is a 420,000gns purchase and fellow newcomer Highland Dragon is related to a couple of winners.
