In depth
Verdict
Commanding made all over a mile in December and came from behind to complete a double. He wasn't right in the Group 3 UAE 2000 Guineas next time and with stall one to aid his cause could lead all the way. However, ZABARDAST came from a long way behind to finish runner-up in the Guineas and with a better draw and slightly longer trip this time he can go one better. Emblem Storm also stayed on well into third in the latter race and can get into contention while Dubai Love is top-rated after beating Down On Da Bayou in the UAE 1000 Guineas though she finished 18 lengths behind that rival over this trip in the Oaks. Ya Hayati takes a step up in grade on his debut on the surface but his pedigree suggests he'll be suited
