TDN Analysis: Despite the ongoing conflict, racing remains on for now at Meydan, and the runner-up from last year's edition has returned. That luminary, Grade I winner Mysterious Night, is reportedly in “good order” per trainer Charlie Appleby. Mysterious Night is booked in lucky stall 13. G2 Al Fahidi Fort hero Elnajmm is the leader of the field on ratings and is “spot on” per trainer Michael Costa. He will start from gate three and held Mysterious Night to fifth in the Al Fahidi Fort. Successful in a later edition of the Summer Stakes than Mysterious Night, New Century has drawn in stall six.
