      Verdict

      RICH TAPESTRY is a genuine Group 1 sprinter on his day so it shouldn't have been a surprise when he landed a Group 3 here last month from Muarrab with Kifaah beaten 7l in sixth and Anfritrion Sale well behind. The winner has never been the most consistent so taking a short price doesn't look an option but his overall form is better than these. The runner-up, ten times a winner on the all-weather, had every chance and looks held while Kifaah finished in front of Shaishee when runner-up to the useful Marking last week. Sweet Swap won six races in the USA at sprint distances but has been performing over a mile in Saudi Arabia recently.
