Verdict
STATE LAW (NAP), who landed a maiden here in November, has continued to run well in handicaps and stayed on well when headed by One Man Band, who scored again on Thursday, last time. He had Grilletto behind earlier and the latter reverted to Turf to score at Abu Dhabi a fortnight ago. Dairam, Qannaas and Intermedium were all behind that day though the latter was having his first start since an easy victory at Yarmouth in June and will improve. Doug Watson also runs Centrifugal, who has been finding it tough from his new mark after scoring at Al Ain in March. Famous Warrior hasn't won for a long time but has dropped to a lowly mark and showed some signs of a revival last time. Line Of Sight had some decent form when last seen here but that was almost two years ago.
