A repeat King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes bid looks like being top of the agenda for Postponed after he ran out a ready winner of the US$6million Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan for young trainer Roger Varian.
It was a smooth passage for jockey Andrea Atzeni on the son of Dubawi, who travelled sweetly throughout before taking over from Highland Reel at the head of affairs with a furlong to run.
Continuing the theme of the Japanese raiders on the night Duramente, running on just three shoes after spreading a plate, and Last Impact chased him home, with Cox Plate placegetter Highland Reel fading into fourth behind the winner, who broke the track record.
Winner of the King George at Ascot last season, Postponed was moved from Luca Cumani's stable along with the rest of owner Sheikh Mohammed Obaid's 35-strong string after the UK's mid-summer showpiece and looks like being a major player in all the top middle-distance races in this form.
