In depth
Verdict
The ones that catch the eye Badr, Cape Vincent, Destination Dubai, Mutuwassel, Perfect Balance and Song Of Vala, with the vote going to Destination Dubai. The David Loder-trained juvenile is a beautifully-bred son of Kingmambo and is a full-brother to Dubai Destination. He is sure to attract a lot of attention on his debut and you can add ours to that. Of the others, Cape Vincent is sure to step up on his Sandown debut run and should be more competitive here, a comment that also applies to the Mark Johnston runner Badr. Mutuwassel was also noted making late headway on his debut and this is the type of race that could produce some very useful types. One of those could well be the selection, Destination Dubai.
