Meydan Race 7 - Race 7 - Nad Al Sheba Trophy Presented By Dp World Stakes (Group 3) - Turf
KING OF CONQUEST (4) was well fancied last start at the second run back from a break and was in the placings again, finishing second by a nose over 2810m at Group 3 level at this track. This is his race to lose. KEFFAAF (3) scored by a nose over the top pick last start over 2810m. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. He will have to be even better this time but will again give his all. DUBAI FUTURE (1) resumes. Wasn't far away at the last run before a break, finishing fourth over 2410m at this track over a year ago. Despite the long break, he won't lack fitness and in the small field, he can figure in the top 3. ONESMOOTHOPERATOR (5) was beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh in a 2810m contest at this track last time out. He won the Geelong Cup in the spring so is more than capable on his day. Include in all combinations.

At the latest run 8th of 10 at this track on February 7 over 2410m, 8 len behind Royal Power carrying 61.5kg at $31. The start before that 6th of 9 at this track in G3 on January 24 over 2810m, 4 len behind Keffaaf with 59.5kg at $17. Needs to improve to trouble the top handful.

Most recently 7th of 9 at this track in G3 on January 24 over 2810m, 4.5 len behind Keffaaf with 60kg at $13. Before that second last in a small field at Wolverhampton on December 26 over 2461m, 7 len behind Paradias with 64kg at $7.50. Genuine hope on best form.

Second run back. First-up after three months second last of 9 at this track in G3 on January 24 over 2810m, 11 len behind Keffaaf carrying 57.5kg at $7. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Sandown Park in the G3 Henry II Stakes on May 23 over 3218m, slow going head behind Sweet William carrying 59kg at $2.90. Unlikely to threaten.
