Off the mark in 1m maiden at Jebel Ali in December. Made no impression when fourth of 11 in minor event at this course (8f) since but still holds solid each-way claims.

Has shaped promisingly in finding only one too good both starts to date, including in 9-runner maiden at this course (8f) 56 days ago. Remains open to improvement.

Fairly useful colt. Not at best when sixth of 11 in minor event at this course (8f, 50/1) 3 weeks ago but could bounce back.

Fair colt. First run since leaving Marco Botti when seventh of 9 in maiden (18/1) at this course (8f) 56 days ago, left poorly placed.

Forecasts

Estmrar (2/5), Undefeated (4/1), Little Foot (18/1), Exculpation (18/1), Honest Moon (20/1), Yuvraaj (25/1), Alwayscallme (25/1), Channagide (28/1), Maestro Del Mar (28/1)

Verdict

ESTMRAR has shaped promisingly in finding only one too good on both his starts to date and it's reasonable to assume he hasn't shown all he can, so he's a confident selection to make it third time lucky. Undefeated took a step forward when finishing third in a similar event here 3 weeks ago and can possibly give the selection most to think about, while Exculpation is the only previous winner in the field and that ought to count for something.
