Verdict
RAWY set a blistering pace in the Trial for this over 7f and never looked like being caught. He shouldn't be inconvenienced by stepping up in trip and can make all. The South American-trained pair Quality Boone and Kiefer came from well off the pace to occupy the places in that Trial and the extra furlong will suit both. They have to concede weight all-round here being Southern-hemisphere bred and Bendoog looks a threat to all after an impressive debut over the course and distance last month while Sadaaty beat Rawy over 6f at Jebel Ali. The Russia-trained Azure Coast beat a subsequent winner on his debut here in December.
