Verdict
This won't take much winning but TAWAKUL fits the bill. A daughter of Dalakhani, she started favourite on her debut at Jebel Ali last month but found 6f totally inadequate and will be much more at home over this trip. After a promising introduction, Hadba started a short price here in December but was badly impeded and finished last. She showed that there is a race of this nature in her when runner-up to Enjoy Today on New Year's Eve and looks certain to go close. Midnight Moon, who had shown some potential in the UK last summer, finished just behind in that latter event on his debut here and is another likely to get involved. The expensive Straight Talk will have found 6f much too short here in November and looks the type to do better as does Race To Dubai, a flop at Jebel Ali last week when well supported.
