Milton and Secret Ambition had a battle-royal over the track and trip last month with the former just prevailing. The latter is only 1lb better off so there's nothing between them again. Power Crazy, a winner at Churchill Downs, should now be approaching his peak after just two runs in the UAE while Say No More followed his opening victory at Jebel Ali in December with a good run in a handicap there. Sheeba shot up the weights after a facile victory here in December and didn't run badly when stepped up a grade a month later. Prepared has slowly been dropping to a more manageable mark but the vote goes to MOOSIR. Doug Watson's charge completed a double at this time a year ago and, after a close second in December, didn't give his running behind the prolific North America a couple of weeks later.
