Most of those with experience have been disappointing and Klimt Street has been gelded since three moderate runs in maidens earlier this year. Black Mark has run his best races at Jebel Ali, including when staying on strongly over 6f on Saturday. Al Jaddaf was placed three times for Godolphin in the UK and was having his first start for almost a year when mid-division at Jebel Ali last month. He may have enough improvement in him to get the better of Golden Arch, who never got into contention in three Dirt maidens at the beginning of the year. Any one of the newcomers could win this and GREEN JACKET, a son of the great Curlin, is taken to make a winning start for his in-form yard.
