Tanzania Road has got nowhere near in a couple of runs over this trip on Polytrack but maybe this surface will help compensate for her lack of speed. Anna Barkova ran her best race so far over 7f here last week but SHAH OF ARMAAN hasn't been beaten far in any of his four runs to date and looks the one to be on. He handled give in the ground on Turf so Fibresand should suit. Cry Wolf has shown signs of ability and is another to consider if handling the switch from Tapeta and Polytrack.
