Serein has had four runs on Dirt in Japan, scoring on her debut and at Nakayama last month. She could be a bit better than these but the locals will take all the beating and DUBAI LOVE won the UAE 1000 Guineas in effortless style and will be a warm order to complete the classic double. Down On Da Bayou was over 3l behind in the Guineas and is unlikely to reverse the form while Ascot Brass was 15 lengths behind the winner though beat Careless Whisper over 2l on soft ground in Sweden last October. Tapi Sioux was beaten 12 lengths by Down On De Bayou last month but will be much better suited by this longer trip.
