Meydan Race 8 - Race 8 - Uae 2000 Guineas Presented By Longines (Group 3) - Dirt
DEVON ISLAND (5) Solid effort when winning last time at this track and competing in an easier class. Flying this preparation with 2 wins from 2 runs and solid career start. Underrated. SIX SPEED (4) Bold effort to win last time here and challenged by less formidable competitors. Undefeated last 2 starts and promising career start. Can give this a shake. BROTHERLY LOVE (7) Made no mistakes when winning last time at this venue and matched against lesser competition. Will be trying to topple them late. Promising career start. Will be around the mark at odds. LINO PADRINO (8) Ran 4th last start at the track but competing at a lower class. Winnable race.
