        Verdict

        Hill of Almhuim, Zaharath Al Bustan and Nawaqees are three against the field in a tight handicap and the tentative vote is given to Zaharath Al Bustan. The selection was beaten at odds on behind Kahula Kiss when last seen but he has reportedly strengthened up through the winter and under conditions that suit and with the step up in trip likely to bring about some improvement he looks the one to be on. Hill of Almhuim rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Trans Sonic. He is sure to strip fitter here but he is far from straight forward and at likely; odds he looks worth taking on. Nawaqees is another that could go well on his best form but his stables runners have tended to need their first run of the season and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Chris Corsa looks to be on a handy mark and with his yard in form could go well at a price but in a race where the market could be very informative for the winner we return to Zaharath Al Bustan.
