CITY SELECTIONS NO SUCH LUCK was running well in defeat a few months ago and the son of Tamayuz may be worth chancing having undergone a wind operation. Star Of St Louis looks an obvious threat to the selection on paper after prevailing here last month and he should remain competitive. Alwajd is another to consider now up in distance, while Lethal Touch also merits a place on the shortlist.
