Verdict

DEVON ISLAND (3) looked good at his only appearance 11 weeks ago over 7f at Kempton Park All Weather, finishing second and beaten 3.5 lengths. Ran sixth in a trial at Meydan Dirt, and he will be ready to rumble in this. NATIONAL HISTORY (8) showed plenty of ability in the UK in a couple of starts, finishing off his initial prep with a minor placing at Kempton Park All Weather. Ran seventh in a recent trial at Meydan Dirt. Watch closely. BROTHERLY LOVE (1) stepped out on his debut over 7f at Kempton Park All Weather six-and-a-half weeks ago and finished fifth. Plenty of scope for improvement in this part of the world. Include in all combinations. DECALOGUE (2) stepped out on his debut over 7f at Kempton Park All Weather six-and-a-half weeks ago and finished eighth. Expected to be right there at the business end.
