In depth
Verdict
MUSIR goes from strength-to-strength and had no problems adding a Grade 2 in January, two weeks after a Grade 3 victory on this surface. He'll take the world of beating here though Rajsaman, well beaten in that latter event, is much better than he showed there and should get a lot closer. African Story hasn't had much experience but won really well over 7f here in January and was staying on strongly over this trip next time while Godolphin are also represented by the classy Australian mare Dysphonia, who badly needed her first run here three weeks ago. Gitano Hernando, who started favourite when sixth in last year's World Cup here, hasn't been seen since landing the Singapore Cup last May and will almost certainly need this opening run over a trip too short.
