In depth

Verdict

Endifaa didn't perform badly in a Listed contest here in March and is well clear on official ratings. ZERO TO A HUNDRED has been placed in six of seven starts, most of them here, and started out in good form a year ago so may be good enough. Cosmo Kramer has dropped in the ratings and may do better in handicaps while Martial Art is fit from a run at Jebel Ali last week. Carpe Momentum makes a belated debut and wouldn't need to be special to make a successful start. Talo would have a chance on his close fourth here in December but ran poorly the next twice.
