SHARJAH continues his quest for that elusive tenth track victory and was only caught in the closing stages a fortnight ago. A similar effort can see him go one better. Caronda is still a maiden after 18 starts and was no match for No Trouble when runner-up over track and trip two weeks ago though the winner has been hit with a 10lb rise. Cliara got off the mark at the 14th attempt at Wolverhampton but is up 9lb while Lady Of Luxury had shown little before a surprise placed effort over 1m2f last month. Magic Sea scored over hurdles at Down Royal on Boxing Day though that was on heavy ground while Early Strike is 0-16 and has changed stables.
