        Verdict

        Most of these ran in the Cape Verdi over a mile three weeks ago including the four Godolphin entries. ALTHIQA (NAP) showed a blistering turn of foot that day to come from last to first and score with plenty in hand and she can complete a double over this longer trip. Runner-up Stylistique didn't get the clearest of runs and may get closer while Dubai Love finished off the race well having been tapped for toe in the straight. Summer Romance, who set a blistering gallop, should be better for the run but last year's very impressive UAE Oaks winner Down On Da Bayou was well beaten in the Saudi Derby next time and hasn't run for almost a year.
