Meydan Race 5 - Race 5 - Singspiel Stakes Sponsored By Emirates Airline (Group 2) - Turf

ALAKAZI (2) resumes after four-and-a-half months. He was a consistent performer last prep, and he was placed over 1609m at Ascot at his most recent outing. He rates highly, and a bold showing is expected fresh. On top. HOLLOWAY BOY (3) is knocking on the door, most recently finishing a solid second in Group 2 company at Al Rayyan over 1600m. The market will be the best guide to his chances. QUDDWAH (4) won when resuming at this track before finishing out of the placings in Listed grade at Abu Dhabi last time out. He has yet to try this trip, but is very fit and capable of a big run. DIVIDEND (5) comes off a 1900m victory at this track eight days ago, scoring by just over a length. He is capable of repeating the dose, so stick with him on an each-way basis.

Most recently 13th of 15 at Abu Dhabi in LR on February 7 over 1600m, 9 len behind Strauss with 57kg at $126. The run before that was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 0.5 len at this track January 16 over 1600m defeating Regheeb carrying 60.5kg at $6. Will struggle to compete against the top handful.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 4th of 12 at this track on January 9 over 1800m, 2.75 len behind Mothecombe with 57.5kg at $31. Last start second last of 15 at Abu Dhabi in LR on February 7 over 1600m, 10 len behind Strauss carrying 57kg at $251. Can do a lot better than that last run.
