Verdict
Blown It has won here before and has been dropping down the weights but is bang out of form and hard to fancy. Dubai Hills is at a career low mark in handicaps and he put in a good effort last time out over course and distance and is worth including in calculations. MONTE MAYOR ONE should appreciate the trip and has run decently at the track before including a narrow loss behind Gracie's Gift when third here last month. From the same mark she can win today. There are dangers aplenty with Music Festival who lost narrowly to our pick in August, Charles Parnell and Cheyenne Red. They all have realistic claims on their best ability but Monte Mayor One receives the nomination.
