          Verdict

          EL ESTRUENDOSO has had very little experience but looked set to gain his first success outside of South Africa when moving smoothly into the lead at the furlong pole over 1m1f here two weeks ago. He couldn't hold the late thrust of Gabrial but this shorter trip is in his favour and compensation awaits. Banna Boirche ran some fair races on Tapeta here a year ago and the return to Turf can see him go well from what is now a decent mark. Disa Leader, a stablemate of the selection, has run well here in the past without winning while Dux Scholar is taking a hefty drop in grade and has been lowered a few pounds in the ratings. Marco Botti's acquisition from Brazil, Edu Querido, is an unknown quantity and worth noting for the future but Gold Pearl does best on Jebel Ali's Dirt surface. Chil The Kite never got involved on his debut here a fortnight ago but is very much better than that and looks a threat along with Ocean Tempest, who will appreciate returning to Turf.
