        Verdict

        NINE BELOW ZERO set a blistering pace over the Turf track a week ago and was a long way clear at one stage but weakened when collared inside the final furlong. He's better on Dirt and gets the nod though My Catch has won at Group and Listed level over the track and trip, though he's up 6lb for a comfortable victory in a non-carnival handicap last month. Intuitive won four times on Polytrack in the UK for James Tate but Bochart could find this on the short side and is unlikely to get the lead with the selection alongside. Beachcomber Bay blew away the cobwebs behind My Catch last time and can get much closer while Godolphin's Tribal Quest is interesting after a long break as he looked speedy when completing a double in 2018. Desert Doctor has won seven times on the all-weather in the UK and should be fit enough after a run at Wolverhampton last month.
