In depth
Verdict
Garnett gets the call here ahead of Lorikeet, Kavi and Hoddies Way. Beaten just a short head over course and distance last time from a pound lower mark, Garnett looks competitive again today. Lorikeet and Kavi are closely weighted based on January course and distance form and both have chances. King After scrambled home when stepped up to 10 furlongs last time and takes a bigger jump up in distance today. See what the market says. Finally, Dubai Sunday got back to winning ways last time and could have more to come, while Hoddies Way looked to be coming to hand last time and cannot be ruled out. Once again, though, the selection is Garnett.
