        Verdict

        Elhafei won over track and trip last month and was scoring off a higher mark on Turf last summer. He can figure again though it could be the turn of SOARING STAR today as the latter has gone close here the last twice now and beaten both Kells and Magellan in the process. Bobba Tee failed to threaten in a higher grade last time having won at Wolverhampton earlier while Kabuto was threatening to score off similar marks last year but hasn’t raced since April.
