disputed lead until led 1f out, driven out
This should just concern the two runners Alqhutub and Danehill Prince. The former turned in his worst performance over course and distance back in May, but he raced up the centre of the course that day, which turned out to be the slower part of the track, so he can be forgiven that run. Danehill Prince is going the right way, but his future may lie in handicaps. It is possible that the faster ground may bring about some improvement from Christaleni and if that is the case, this Zilzal filly can shake up the colts.
