Meydan Race 1 - Race 1 - Deepal S05 Maiden Stakes - Dirt
KEY OF MAGIC (7) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of 7 months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1422m at Southwell All Weather. He makes his local debut and being from the Charlie Appleby stable, you know that he will be ready to rumble. On top. HIDDEN SECRET (2) fought on gamely for second as the favourite last start over 1900m at this track, making it 3 minor placings from 6 starts this campaign. He only needs the right run to go one better. SUCETTE (10) ran well on debut last start to finish runner-up over 1900m at this track in a race that had more depth to it. He is drawn to enjoy a lovely run, so he should be hard to hold out again. MAGIC ART (8) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth over 1600m. He will naturally improve with the experience, and he can figure in the top 4 this time.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 12 at this track on February 13 over 1900m, 1.5 len behind Desert Horizon with 57kg at $4.20. The run before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 14 at Meydan on January 16 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Impressive Act carrying 57kg at $9. Nice effort last time so worth following up.

Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Last start 11th of 15 at Meydan on January 9 over 1900m, 12 len behind Ocean Viking with 54.5kg at $17. The start before that 6th of 16 at Abu Dhabi on December 14 over 1600m, 8 len behind Chrono King with 57kg at $4. This looks too tough.

Is a 3-year-old gelding on debut. Was an uninspiring seventh at his most recent barrier trial. Prefer to see how he handles race day.
