Verdict

Several of these ran in a very hot sprint over the minimum trip last week with Jamesie just coming out best. Medicean Man wasn't far behind but Sir Maximilian never got going and has never won over this trip. MEDICEAN MAN is taken to come out best this time as he's better over this trip and landed a similar race around a year ago. With David Parkes utilising his claim Jeremy Gask's charge can get back on the winning trail. It's strange to see Zahee running in a sprint as he was staying on over 1m1f last time though he did win over the trip on heavy ground in South Africa. Ertijaal scored over an extra furlong at Abu Dhabi but has the pace for this and Russian Soul should be cherry-ripe after two recent runs but Fils Anges and Jallota may require another furlong.
