Forecasts

Matloob (11/4), Atlantic Sky (11/4), Mayaadeen (3/1), Condor Pasa (7/1), Symbol Of Power (10/1), Harvest Gold (11/1), Mutaany (20/1), Fight Zone (33/1), Perfect Love (33/1), Sunny Street (33/1)

Verdict

MATLOOB looks marginally the pick in this field but has next to no margin for error. Atlantic Sky could provide the sternest opposition, while Mayaadeen may prove best of the rest.
