Verdict

These should leave scorch marks on the Tapeta. Kinsale King is reported in even better form than he was when landing this a year ago and will prove difficult to beat. However, runner-up that day ROCKET MAN failed to get a clear run at a crucial moment and can gain revenge. His latest run when just touched off by J J The Jet Plane in the Hong Kong Sprint showed him to be as good as ever. Dim Sum was around three lengths behind at Sha Tin but has improved in subsequent starts against the top class Sacred Kingdom and looks a threat though his trainer, John Moore, is very keen on the chances of Sunny King despite him being much more at home over further. Another Hong Kong Flyer, Dynamic Blitz, looked a crack sprinter when landing a Grade 3 here in February and will be closing fast at the finish. Euroears represents Bob Baffert and is his first Dubai runner since Captain Steve's monumental World Cup success 10 years ago. A Grade 2 winner at Santa Anita in January, he's been specially prepared by his astute handler and is another with a chance in a fascinating contest.
