        Verdict

        Waqaas has only won once this season but he has a terrific record here and it will be a surprise if he’s not in the shake-up again. AKWAAN runs in the familiar Hamdan Al Maktoum colours and is trained by Mike De Kock. In his first run since been gelded, the Aussie-bred three-year-old strolled to victory here last month and could be one to follow when racing resumes. Street Flyer’s run on sand last time is easily ignored and he has place claims on previous form, though isn’t getting any younger and his trainer also runs War Jewel and Private Ruler. Podcast usually runs well without being quite good enough but this looks a big ask for surprise Turffontein maiden winner Father Time.
