Race Overview
A small but competitive field for this Group III contest. Godolphin's ROCK'N SWING (4) was unsuited to how the races developed in both of her Group I appearances but has her sights lowered here, so could set the record straight. Consistent ALMARA (2), who has finished 2nd twice in as many outings at Group level, and progressive ROSE JAIPUR (3), whose limits remain unknown, also have legitimate ambitions of fighting for victory. AL KAMLAH (1) caught the eye on her reappearance and isn't underestimated.
Selection:
4 - 2 - 3
