Verdict

ORIGINAL OUTLAW (5) is still searching for that elusive maiden win after 12 starts, but his best efforts, including a placing here two runs back, suggest he is capable of striking in a race like this. Forgive the Meydan miss, this is far more suitable, and he gets his chance. FRONTVIEW (12) stuck on well for third over 1m here last start and maps to land just behind the speed again. He's consistent at this level and should be right in the finish. MUSICAL ROSE (14) was prominent throughout at Jebel Ali and boxed on for a solid third over the mile. She has been holding her form and looks well placed to produce another competitive run. STRONG OPINION (7) was never in the hunt when resuming at Jebel Ali, but that effort is best overlooked. With natural improvement second-up, he is a genuine top-4 hope.
