Both of today's selections were bred in Brazil

Two selections for today's excellent card at Meydan from Timeform's Dubai expert Shahin Khoshsokhan...

"He exploded onto the scene with an impressive success here last month and is likely to be better placed than most turning for home".

4.50
Hold-up performer Forgotten Voice went into many a note book when finishing strongly behind Gloria de Campeao but, with not much confirmed pace on, a similar scenario could occur. Skysurfers already looks a high-class prospect from just two outings and will prove difficult to beat, but Brazilian raider Al Arab appeals as the value bet. He exploded onto the scene with an impressive success here last month and is likely to be better placed than most turning for home.

6.10
Vodka and Cavalryman set the standard, coming out top on our ratings, but with both unproven on the surface and connections perhaps having an eye on bigger targets further down the line, it may pay to side with Gloria de Campeao, who is a Group 1 winner in his own right and showed his well-being when successful over a trip short of his optimum on his reappearance.

Recommendations

4.50 Back Al Arab win and place
6.10 Back Gloria de Campeao to win
