REGAL CONNECTION (3) met with solid support when resuming last start over 2410m at Meydan when third, beaten 2.5 lengths. Worth another chance. DESERT SNAKE (5) did little and finished 6 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1900m at Meydan last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at this track the run before. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has the class to take this out. DECIDUOUS (4) hasn't featured at his last two runs, the latest when 5 lengths away in fifth at Meydan. Finds an easier assignment and is a winning hope. MAYDANNY (2) was below his best last time when sixth over 2410m at Meydan, beaten 5 lengths. Well placed and should be about the mark.
