The veteran AL MUHEER was having his first outing on Fibresand when returning an easy three-length winner over a mile. Clear of the rest a couple of furlongs from home, this shorter trip should not be a problem. Risk 'N' Reward landed a double at the track in January and can figure on his return while Tartan Trip won over course and distance off a higher mark last year. Sooqaan looks high enough in the weights now but Showboating and Pearl Ransom are not without claims if at their best on this surface.
