X Y Jet arrives in top form having won a Grade 3 at Gulfstream a month ago but he'll be a very short price and may be worth taking on making his first appearance here. The other USA-trained entry Confrontation scored over a mile on his debut here last month and though he's won over this trip he may find a couple of these too speedy. Muarrab easily dealt with Kifaah and Rich Tapestry in a Group 3 three weeks ago but was behind the latter earlier and beaten a long way behind the veteran Reynaldothewizard in January. SUPER JOCKEY was beaten a head in this a year ago by Secret Circle and it looks as though his whole season in Hong Kong has been geared towards going one better. This isn't the best Group 1 ever run and he's taken to beat off the USA challenge.
