Suedois gained his Group 1 victory at Keeneland in 2017 and only just failed to repeat that success in October. He has to concede plenty of weight here and has bigger fish to fry later in the Carnival but it will be a surprise if he doesn't go well. DUBAI LEGACY (NAP) looks an ideal type for this having been here for a while since landing a Class 2 handicap at Newmarket in September. He's a bit close to Suedois in the weights but looks to have a winning opportunity. Lansky has never shown in two recent starts but is better than that as he showed when placed at Group 2 level here in March. Legendary Lunch has only raced twice at this trip and scored both times including a Listed contest at Abu Dhabi in February.
