Both of these will have to be SP for me. 5.15 J J the Jet Plane 10 pts A bit risky this one because he bombed out a bit on his duabi debut in a race which if near his best from his homeland he ought to have won. However that was on dirt and its likely he didnt take to it and back on turf today he could well be a different proposition. I have to say its difficult from an eng. persepctive to know what his SA from represents truly, the handicapper has him on 120 rated which means in theory he has a fair bit in hand today but you can never truly tell. However War Artist who was over here last summer and often ran well, gives a small indication because he only just beat a horse who JJTJP beat quite well and if that formline stands up, then JJTJP for whom there has been hype about, could be tough to beat today and tough to catch from a low draw. 6.45 Presvis 10 pts Prevsis is a quality horse. He has made big strides for Cumani and in his last two wins has been very impressive and looks a horse set for group races now. He showed a nice turn of foot in a slowly run race at newb last autumn and showed he has settled into dubai well by winning easily the other week and in the style of a horse who had a fair bit in hand still. Still in handicap company for today, he is the one they have all got to beat and it could well be beyond them.
