Verdict
A disappointing turnout with decent prize money on offer. Forewarning will get a share of that but is surely booked for last unless his three rivals seriously under-perform. Emirates Flyer last won a race on Tapeta at Meydan early in 2014 and today’s going could be a problem. EUGINIO won a handicap on soft ground over course and distance at this meeting last year and has been highly tried this season. He has been placed in Group 3 and Listed company, however, and that form looks superior to that of Afaak, who will also handle conditions but is penalised for winning over a mile at York in May.
