Verdict
The Lock Master should have done better over 1m4f here last week as he stays the trip. Saying that, all three of his previous course victories have been over today's distance including a narrow-margin defeat of DUBAWI ISLAND last month. The latter re-opposes on much better terms, however, and can take his revenge. Dubai Hills rattled up a four timer at the track in 2011 and returns for the first time since although he's so far proved best over 7f while Caledonia Prince is a winner without a penalty but stepping up in class after last week's victory over course and distance when beating Piceno three lengths.
