Verdict

ELJENOB (4) finds it hard to win with just one success from 18 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1 ?m at this track. Placed to advantage and can take this out. INSPIRED IDEA (7) was well fancied last time but found one better at Jebel Ali, finishing just over a length from the winner at the end of 1m. He will appreciate the extra ground. Expected to go very well. EYE ON THE PRIZE (8) hasn't been far away lately, last time out finishing just over a length back in fifth over 1 ?m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset, and he will be in this for a long way. KALIDASA (1) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell, then again missed the frame last start over 1 ?m at this track. He has his share of ability and is worth another chance.
