Zahee disappointed for Godolphin in the UK but looked a likely future winner when beaten a length on his opening run here though hasn't made progress. Grey Streak was placed for the third time here earlier this month but may eventually be suited by another furlong though it's quite likely that STALINGRAD can achieve a higher rating than the 71 he has here. Runner-up to Shawaf last month, with Zahee and Grey Streak behind, he couldn't get past the much more experienced winner but that was only his third run and he can go one better. Ola Bonita showed her best form to date when just failing to catch Kuwait Direction last time and should get into the frame.
