PERFECT BALANCE was fit enough to make a winning reappearance at Sharjah 12 days ago when having just under a length to spare over Al Jaddaf. The winner should confirm the form on just 2lb worse terms and can see off the Godolphin entry Wild Hurricane, who has produced a couple of fair efforts at Kempton though tackles Dirt for the first time. Miami Joy won three times on Polytrack in the UK though that was three years ago while Fall Of Rome, who had a mark of 94 when trained by Charlie Appleby, did nothing here early this year and has dropped to 75. Arsaad has plenty of experience on Dirt at Doha but has never won.
