Vivernus finished strongly over 1m2f here a couple of weeks ago so may not be suited by dropping back in trip. Just Pretend showed up well in a couple of better maidens than this last winter and should be ready for his comeback while Shillong attempted to make all at Jebel Ali and ran on when headed. MAZEED looked in need of the experience on his debut over 7f here and had no answer to the front pair. The runner-up, Capezzano, runs in the opening race and should give a strong pointer to the chances of Mike De Kock's charge. Godolphin's Somerset House has a smart pedigree and it would be no surprise to see him go in at the first time of asking.
