Verdict
Zabardast, runner-up in a Group 3 in February, has been very disappointing and was well behind ZERO TO A HUNDRED (NAP) when the latter made a belated debut here last month. A hugely expensive son of Dubawi out of a USA Grade 1 winner on Dirt, he was staying on behind the more experienced Antonio Vivaldi over 7f and can start making up for lost time. Anizzah is a five-year-old who was having his first run at Al Ain last month and though unable to get close to the winner will have come on a bundle for the experience. Tapis Sioux showed ability in better company last winter and the fillies' allowance will aid her cause but stablemate Falcon Claws may do better over further.
