    Verdict

    Wonder Lawn is the stable second string and the only one of these not in good form though he's no forlorn hope having run very well here at the end of last year. Espiritu reverts to turf for the first time in Dubai and can do better than he's shown on his two latest starts. The progressive ex-Italian filly LOLAMAR was by no means disgraced in a Grade 2 last time after scoring over the C&D at the beginning of the month. This is more her class and she can get back to winning ways. Hunting Tower was a length behind in that latter event but bounced back to his best with a decisive victory over Sabotage a fortnight ago though that was on Tapeta. War Monger comfortably held off the late charge of Yirga last week but that was over a furlong shorter and the longer trip will play to the strengths of the runner-up.
