    Verdict

    Karaginsky had one run for Godolphin in the UK and was returning from 10 months off when a well-beaten third here last month. That obviously blew the cobwebs away as he then won over a mile at Jebel Ali and he's bred for this trip. Jintshi has been running consistently in minor handicaps but has been beaten off this mark and lower in recent weeks while River Of Gold ran a shocker at Jebel Ali after landing a maiden there a fortnight earlier. Estikmaal is looking high enough in the weights on what he's achieved while his stablemate Powderhouse has been well beaten since just beating Hucklebuck over the track and trip in December. The three-year-old SHANTY STAR ran a remarkable race when a close fourth in a Listed contest on Turf here last month. He was well beaten in the lucrative Al Basatkiya on this surface next time but it looks worth taking a chance with him on his handicap debut against older horses.
