    Verdict

    Course regular Qaaraat is usually thereabouts at this level and it would be no surprise if he comes out best again having already beaten Marwari and Arzaak here earlier in the year. True Hero won over track and trip last month and has placed subsequently but the unexposed DUE A WIN makes more appeal. The latter was giving plenty of weight to a younger winner when runner-up over course and distance on his return to action and can go close on his handicap debut.
