In depth

Verdict

The Russia-trained Azure Coast won on his debut here last December then comfortably landed the UAE 2000 Guineas in February. He couldn't handle the step up to Group 2 company in the UAE Derby but is suited by the race conditions. BENDOOG (NAP) was four lengths behind him in the Guineas but easily reversed the form in the Derby when an excellent fourth. He can return with a victory and both hold the Guineas seventh Rawy. Taking Names hasn't made the expected progress from a spectacular debut success a year ago.
