Meydan Race 8 - Race 8 - Lincoln Navigator Maiden Stakes - Dirt
VINO SAURO (15) resumed from a spell with a solid third at this track over 1400m. Placed to advantage, and he is the one to beat. Check the market closely. NO ESCAPE (13) is an imported three-year-old having his first run in this area for the M Al Mheiri barn. Hasn't raced since he finished seventh over 1710m at Monmouth Park (Turf) five-and-a-half months ago. He is expected to be in the finish. ELUSIVE TREVOR (6) was in commission last time out but disappointed in finishing fifth over 1600m at Abu Dhabi, beaten 5 lengths. Finds the right race and is worth each-way consideration. HIDDEN SECRET (9) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was a sound fifth over 1400m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well. Include in all combinations

Third race start. Promising on debut came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Southwell All Weather on April 27 over 1622m, 2.25 len behind Dixieland Blues with 59kg at $41. Went for a spell before returning 3rd of 10 at this track on November 7 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Gray Boss with 57kg at $3.50. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
