Race Overview
It is hard to oppose thriving KATAR (11) who is at the top of his game after four consecutive race victories and capable of extending his winning sequence, especially after scoring on his reappearance over this course and distance last month. KARMA (7) should, however, keep the selection having regained freshness following his last-start success over track and trip in February. KALINOU QUICK (8), who is the third of four last-start winners in the race, deserves a shot at this level and ought to acquit himself competitively too. KATIM DU GOUTIER (9) completes the shortlist.
