Verdict
Street Act won a minor handicap here in November and has performed with credit in better company subsequently. He should be thereabouts but is poorly handicapped with Mizbah on their run at Jebel Ali in October. The latter continued to run well until last time where he was never in the hunt in the race won by ORMINDO. The latter was always travelling easily that day and a repeat should see him back in the winner's enclosure. The former Godolphin-trained Press Room is slowly getting his act together here and is on the shortlist but Sahra Al Khadra, a winner for Charlie Hills at Newmarket in August, may need another run after beaten a distance on his debut here. Ukrainian has been in good form but is better over further.
