        Verdict

        It wasn't much of a race that GENIUS STEP won here in December but neither is this and the former Godolphin winner was having only his sixth start. He can improve again and complete the double. Daar Rashid gained his first ever success on Jebel Ali's Dirt surface last month when Surge Ahead was behind but hasn't shown much when tackling Tapeta in the past. Forevertheoptimist was behind the selection in December and hasn't run badly in handicaps subsequently. Levi Draper won four times for James Fanshawe and had his first start for new connections at the brand new racecourse at Al Ain a fortnight ago.
