In depth
Verdict
Hong Kong sprinters do well in international events though Sight Success is just short of top class there, a remark that also applies to compatriot Duke Wai. The Astrologist is rarely beaten far in top company in Australia while Cazadero is a Grade 2 winner over the trip at Woodbine and his trainer won this in 2021. No three-year-old has ever won the race and few have taken part but Al Dasim has looked an exceptional speedster in his three starts here and his allowance will aid his cause. AL SUHAIL has been very impressive in his two runs here over the winter and, though both have been over 7f, he has the pace for this.
