Abu Dhabi Race 1 - Race 1 - Majestic Desert Classic Arabian Handicap - Turf
SOLE MIO AL MAURY (2) is a talented entire who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 19 lengths behind Kanaille De Faust over 1600m in Group 3 class at this track. Sandro Paiva, who has four wins when partnering, stays on. Expecting a bold showing. RB YAS SIR (1) finished 7 lengths away in eighth last time out over 2200m at this track a month ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Leading contender. FIFRE AL MAURY (6) is a nine-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. RAAD LEMBARAK (5) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 2400m at this track, beaten half a length. He will strip fitter this time, and can go one better.
