        Verdict

        In the likelihood that there will be a decent pace on in this contest Saeed bin Suroor's GOLDEN GOAL can make amends for a defeat last time out by registering a third win in four starts here. The three-year-old has raced from off the pace on two of those starts and can take this at the chief expense of London , a winner over 7f here last time out while Honiara can finish best of those likely to race on the pace by claiming third.
