AMOURI GLEAM is taken to defy a penalty having made a winning start over 6f at the track. She produced a late flourish to win a shade cosily in the end when also giving the impression this extra distance will suit. Polished Article and Double Cover have plenty to find with the selection but Tum Tum has a handicap rating of 79 and can figure if handling the surface on his first outing since June. The latter is weighted to beat Ghazan while Paminah is related to several winners and preferred to Dubai Eye of the newcomers.
