Mouser had shown virtually nothing until coming with a late run to score over a mile at Abu Dhabi last week for which he's been raised 8lb. Fourth-placed DESERT DESTINATION must have a realistic chance of reversing the form on these terms over this longer trip as he was finishing well but Lost Gold, who finished mid-division, looks held. Untold Secret has eight victories to his credit, all but one on Dirt, and hasn't raced on Turf since 2017. Razeen Dubai showed a bit more dash when upped to a mile here last month but was well beaten on his only Turf start.
