Verdict

Sari Dubai followed three narrow defeats on Dirt by landing a mile maiden on Turf and following up in a handicap over the track and trip when beating Kanood just over a length. The latter will be 3lb better off but the positions can remain unchanged. Franz Kafka had run in two Carnival handicaps before making a bold bid to lead all at this level last week while the consistent First Winter gained a first UAE success over a mile a fortnight ago and has no problems with the longer trip. CELESTIAL SPHERES prefers a bit further but in what is likely to be run at a fast gallop he'll be staying on stronger than most and can hopefully get on top close home.
