Race Overview
DIVANA CHICA (7) was runner-up last time out in a GR.1. last year and will be getting weight from her rivals so looks the one they all have to beat. ASSLAN AL SHAHANIA (6) will have a fitness advantage as she has run this year and run very well last time out. AL WAKRAH (1) is another to consider having done well in Qatar. MARWA (5) has scope for improvement and is capable of contesting the finish
