In depth
Verdict
Carnival Dancer is still held in very high regard and his fifth of twelve behind Nayef in a group 1 on his last run should be good enough here. Asian Heights will surely come on for the run after a year off but he is definitely one to keep an eye on with regard to the future. The remainder will have to improve markedly to score.
