Most of these have become disappointing. Cozmo Star is joint-top rated though that was based on one runner-up effort here a year ago and he's been nowhere near that form subsequently. Rua Augusta is the other highest-ranked in the line-up but he's never recovered the sort of form that saw him placed in a Listed contest in March. Muwaaly had shown potential in France but was tailed off on his debut here in November while Tobrave hasn't shown much at Jebel Ali after transferring from Roger Varian. Sa'ada runs the occasional good race as she did when runner-up at Jebel Ali, though a wide draw isn't in her favour, while it's difficult to know what to make of Killdeer, who was well beaten in handicaps at Hamilton and Brighton for Godolphin. WHITE SKY made an excellent start when runner-up to Roy Orbison on the Dirt track and, though well beaten in two starts at other venues, he gets the vote in the hope the track brings out the best in him.
