KOKOMO (AE) – (S Hitchcott): When questioned regarding the disappointing performance, rider advised that the mare had been under pressure early and failed to run on. He could offer no concrete explanation apart from the mare was challenged early without being given a chance to settle and this may have affected its performance. Further, he noted that the mare had previously performed poorly at Al Ain in past runs and may not handle the circuit. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities. UNIQUE DE LA GARDE (FR) – (S Mazur): Slow to begin. CHASE ME (GB) – (H Crouch): Raced wide without cover throughout.
