Meydan Race 9 - Race 9 - Al Khail Trophy Presented By Longines (Group 3) - Turf

WEST WIND BLOWS (5) Bold effort to win last run at Deauville and drops back to a suitable grade. Likely to be well placed early. William T Buick is a pivotal booking. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . MEYDAAN (1) Was all too good winning last start at this track and up against a less competitive field. Has to be strongly considered. EPIC POET (2) Strong record when resuming. Managed to finish 2nd last time at Newbury and challenged by less formidable competitors. Won't be far away during the run. Can win this. NIGHTWALKER (8) Tidy run when 3rd last time around here and will find this grade easier. Will be hitting the line strongly. Won't be far away and represents an each way player.

Previously second-up 4th of 7 at Ascot on September 6 over 2405m, slow going 7 len behind Tenability with 60kg at $26. Strong winning chance.
