A very competitive Grade 2 but RAIHANA won so well last week that last year's UAE Oaks winner is impossible to oppose given that she broke the track record a week ago. Invisible Man finished around four lengths behind Derbaas over the C&D a month ago but the latter looked in need of the run and was noted staying on nicely at the end. Snaafy has bounced back to the kind of form that saw him compete with credit in the Dubai Duty Free last year and is an obvious threat while the selection's stablemate Our Giant has a victory over this trip to his name, even though he has been sprinting recently. The high-class Hearts Of Fire hasn't been seen since his sixth in the QE II at Ascot in September and may just need this.
