        Verdict

        Franz Strauss beat Withering in a head-bobber on sloppy ground here a couple of weeks ago. They meet on the same terms so there's unlikely to be anything between them though the winner got first run in the straight. Third-placed Sanad Libya looks held and was also a long way behind Hypothetical in a Group 1 here in March. The winner goes well fresh so the lack of a run shouldn't be a problem. Lost Eden is 5-9 on artificial surfaces though his best form is at Jebel Ali. WHITE WOLF just failed to catch shock winner Good Fortune on Turf two weeks ago. He scored twice on Tapeta in the UK and will be having just his fifth career start here so looks the one to beat.
