Verdict

CARMELEON (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1m at Sakhir Inner. Faces an easier assignment, and with a run under his belt, he is a key runner. ASAAFF (4) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into fifth over 1m at Sakhir Inner. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. PARIS (14) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 7f at Sakhir Inner in a tougher race. Sure to take a lot from that hitout, and she can feature again. BAIRAQ (2) finished second last time over 1m at Sakhir Inner. He will trim down following recent racing, and he can go one better here.
