PONNTOS (6) has been about the money with three minor placings from four starts this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1000m in the G3 Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint at Meydan. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Leading contender. NOBLE TITLE (4) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 1.5 lengths over 1000m at Rome. Open to plenty of improvement and is among the leading chances. TALENTUOSA (7) was an emphatic winner last time over 1200m at Rome with today's rider Dario Vargiu engaged. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. One of the main contenders. ZAHIR ZULEMA (8) finished second last time over 1200m at Rome when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.5 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but she is up to the task.
