Verdict
AL MAROOM had Jumeirah Beach around three lengths behind in the UAE 1000 Guineas Trial earlier this month and the winner went on to land the classic on Thursday. Late Morning and Deemah were left struggling while Bararri Spirit finished last behind 1000 Guineas runner-up Mnasek last month. Tiger Queen showed some potential at Newcastle in November and wouldn't need much more to get competitive here.
