Verdict

SANSHAAWES (NAP) is a tough and consistent performer whose three career victories have all been over this distance on this track, one of them on Tapeta. He ran very well behind stable companion Light The Lights in a Listed race last week and should add to his tally, even though he doesn't have much in hand over stablemate Whistle Stop on their run here last season and the latter will have come on for last week's run over a trip much too short. Saeed Bin Suroor has two runners and Elhaame is also quite well in with the selection on that run a year ago though he hasn't been seen since. Basateen won at Doncaster for Richard Hannon as a juvenile and made a successful return to action in a decent handicap here in February before a commendable effort in the Group 1 Dubai Turf on World Cup night. He's the type to do well this season and Jim Crowley takes the ride for his principal owner. Elleval generally performs with credit here as he did when placed in his first three starts last season.
