Verdict

PEGASUS (2) opened this campaign last start with a third, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1 ?m at Sakhir Inner. Goes well over this journey with two wins from three starts. Looks to have an edge on most of these. ZEESHAAN (1) doesn't win out of turn but left a good impression last time out when beaten a nose into second over 1 ?m at Sakhir Inner. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Among the leading chances. SPACE X (3) started at $2.50 last time on the back of a win at Sakhir Inner two starts ago, but was below his best, finishing eighth over 1m at Sakhir Inner. Stick with him. SHAHEEN (5) finished second last time over 1 ?m at Sakhir Inner. Placed to advantage, and he can go one better this time.
