VERDICT: The earlier start time means that this race is often heavily influenced by the draw, with five of the eight winners since this contest returned to dirt breaking from stall one or two. With that in mind, Eastern World has to be of interest as his 6f pace should mean that he can take advantage of the rail draw. However, Saudi Crown is also a pacey individual and was only caught late on when trying to make all over a stiff 1m1f in the Saudi Cup last month. Brad Cox's colt should relish this drop in trip and grade and, while stall nine is far from ideal, he could have the ability to overcome the draw. Walk Of Stars has been running well in defeat of late and is another who will be ridden aggressively from a low draw. Isolate won this race 12 months ago, but that was from box two and he's unlikely to be able to dominate from much wider here. Pacholli is an interesting UAE debutant and is worthy of each-way consideration, along with Qareeb.
