Formerly with Luca Cumani, Mabait is top rated according to the official handicapper but he's had just the one run in October after competing at Meydan early in the year. The betting may give a good indication of his chances on his first start for a new yard, while Kakatosi has failed to build on his progressive three-year-old form this season and still refuses to settle in his races. He's competed exclusively over 7f so far and Spirit Of Sharjah has done all his winning over the same distance. Therefore, a chance is taken on NIGHT LILY, as she went close in Listed company at Dundalk last month and is weighted to reverse latest running with the in-form Loyalty on today's terms.
