Verdict

TRANS SONIC has been running well in some decent handicaps here of late and today's drop in class can see him back in the winners' enclosure. He finished third to Nightjar over C&D on his penultimate start with Follow The Flag behind and that rival has since boosted the form by winning over a mile here. Everymanforhimself won over 6f at this track last month before finding the exceptional Dubai Hills too good over C&D a week ago and Conry also chased the latter home here three days ago. Both have a chance with that formidable rival taken out of the equation.
