Japan have only won this once but have the two top-rated here. PINK KAMEHAMEHA earned top billing after just beating Cowan, who runs in the Sprint, in the lucrative Saudi Derby at Riyadh when John Gosden's recruit from Ireland New Treasure ran a cracking race in third and the Godolphin pair Rebel's Romance and Soft Whisper both lost long unbeaten records. The winner will have to come around the outside and compatriot France Go De Ina easily landed a maiden and a conditions' event at the backend of last year though takes on vastly superior rivals. Another from Japan, Takeru Pegasus, could only finish fourth in a Listed contest last time and though Panadol remains unbeaten after a couple of runs here including a Listed contest last time he's another who needs to find plenty. Doug O'Neill knows what it takes to win around here and Ambivalent is a tough performer at this trip.
