Desert Wisdom (G)
[T1V]
Course winner. Well-beaten last of 9 to Mendelssohn Bay in listed race (28/1) at this course (8f). Off 105 days. First run for yard after leaving A. Al Shemaili. Has work to do dropping into a handicap for the first time.

| 8th | 2 | 15 |
Sound Money (G)
[T]
Course winner. 20/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at this course (8f) 35 days ago. Gets some respite from the handicapper but wide draw is a negative.

[TB]
C&D winner. 5/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 21 days ago. Is well treated at present and would be dangerous to underestimate.

Muzaahim (G)
FAV
[B]
4/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this course (6f) 21 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Military Artist. Pick of O'Shea. Is unexposed and there could yet be more to come from this mark.

Desert Peace (G)
Course winner. Five wins from 16 Flat runs. Off nearly 2 years, 28/1, well-beaten fourteenth of 15 to Nyaar in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Well treated but may still need the run after his lengthy absence.
