        Verdict

        ETOSHA may be able to make a winning reappearance in the finale and enhance Saeed bin Suroor's record at the track. Alsace Lorraine, Totem Flower and Shemali are amongst the dangers. The Cape Cross colt has not been sighted since making his debut in a decent Newmarket maiden around a year ago so has clearly had some problems. It's interesting that his yard have decided to persevere with him and they are finishing the season strongly so it wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see him land this. The Fanshawe yard has been struggling to hit top gear throughout the season so it's worth taking on Alsace Lorraine despite him showing a fair level of form in two starts this season. Totem Flower should be in the mix but she has had a few chances now and is fairly exposed; at least one in this field should prove too strong for her once again. Of more interest are Jaadull and Shamali; the former has a long absence to overcome but the latter should improve for his recent debut at Lingfield and is well worth noting in the market. Preference, though, is for Etosha.
