AFFARI (8) has come close to breaking through and was runner-up for the fourth time in a row a fortnight ago on this track. She drops 2kg and will don the blinkers for the first time, which could make all the difference where it matters most. PEARL OF DUBAI (12) ended her busy juvenile campaign with some solid efforts in stakes company at Eagle Farm in June. She has won the latest of 3 tune-up trials, and it is only a wide draw here that will prevent her from producing a big run fresh up. EVANTA (10) charged home late and only missed out on winning by a nose at Illawarra Grange nearly a fortnight ago over this trip. She will give Chris Waller his usual strong hand in this race, and she can go one better. RAIN DELAY (5) won his first of 4 trials as a gelding just over a week ago, and from a good draw, he will be ready to rumble. TO DUBAI WE GO (13) showed promise as a juvenile, and she will be a lot stronger now. She has not trialled, so check her condition in the yard first.
