        Verdict

        Safety Check is attempting to follow the same path as last year where he followed a success in the Al Fahidi Fort by carrying a penalty to victory in this. He showed himself in very good heart with a smooth success in that Group 2 last month but he'll be a short price here and HARRY'S SON looks a viable alternative. Paul Lafferty's charge was beaten just under two lengths by the Godolphin entire last month after enduring a long quarantine procedure. Richard Mullen knows the track better than his regular partner Pierre Strydom and the South Africa Grade 1 winner is taken to reverse the form on 3lb better terms. Johann Strauss was beaten two lengths in this a year ago and is no better off and hasn't been seen since a good third in the Group 1 Jebel Hatta last March. Mike De Kock also runs Zahee, who was narrowly beaten by today's rival Ghaamer at Abu Dhabi last week though both will need to find extra in this much stronger race.
