Better than you would think.

Five runners:

three tops-all in the 2 pt range
one pair
one X

Regal Ransom will be a price and one of the few in the race that looks capable of throwing a new top.

Question with him would be tactics.Is he in there to help his stablemate? Will he be ridden sensibly if Join in the Dance sets crazy rabbit fractions?

From what I\'ve heard both colts are in there on their own merits. Garcia and Dominguez, I\'d guess they will be ridden sensibly.

Big- I think any thought of RR being there to rabbit for DP can be put aside.
I would think if that was the case, DP would have won the UAE Derby instead of RR.
I could be wrong. Of the two, I prefer RR on my tickets; the other Godolphin.
Good luck to you.
