WELTBESTE (9) is coming off a last-start eighth, beaten 5 lengths, over 2100m at Longchamp. Sure to prove tough to beat. ULTIMA (2) finished fifth over 1800m in the G2 Balanchine at Meydan at her most recent appearance on February 21. Expect her to play a major role. EGINA (4) resumes from a spell of six months. Has filled a minor placing at each of her three first-up runs. Opened last prep with a second over 2000m at this track. One of the better prospects. THUNDER SEA (8) is a smart five-year-old mare who hasn't raced since finishing in the placings against lesser opposition over 2400m at Jagersro six months ago. Has never missed the frame when first-up from four starts. Reunites with jockey Sandro De Paiva who knows her well, including two wins while aboard. Don't underestimate.
