Verdict

PHOENIX PASSION (2) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1 ?m at Sakhir Inner. He can repeat the dose here. RETURNOFTHEMAC (1) last appeared when he finished fifth over 1 ¼m in Group 1 grade at this track on April 18. Rates highly and should take some beating. THE PARENT (3) has not appeared since he finished seventh over 1m at Sakhir Inner on April 10. Has switched to the D & C Kubler stable. Looks like one of the genuine hopes in the race. MR IRRELEVANT (5) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1 ?m at Sakhir Inner. He strips fitter and a big run is on the cards.
