This can go the way of Aypeeyes with both Alittlebitleft and Love Dubai both possible dangers. The selection was in winning form over course and distance last time out and if repeating that form he should be very difficult to peg back. Alittlebitleft ran a personal best around this track last time out. That was a drop in grade and he looked as though a win in this company was not far away so any market moves should be noted. Love Dubai comes from a top yard that don't have many all weather runners. The ones he has are generally good ones and he had run well on the turf in the late summer only to run under his personal best last time out. If he can be forgiven that run he is to be respected but for the winner we return to Aypeeyes.
