In depth

Verdict

MESHAKEL (NAP) won by seven lengths over the track and trip in January then, after being beaten a neck in a Group 3 here, ended the campaign with another very easy success on the track. He should be going on to better things this campaign. Zero To A Hundred is a very consistent performer though both victories here have been over a mile and Celtic Prince also seems better at that trip. Island Rule made a winning debut at Jebel Ali a year ago and raced in strong company subsequently, a remark that also applies to course and distance winner Alkaamel.
