Abu Dhabi Race 2 - Race 2 - Noble Strain Maiden Stakes - Turf
FA'ADHEL (7) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months and is having his first outing under new trainer E Legrix. Finished seventh at Bordeaux over 1900m at the opening run last time in work. The French form usually stacks up nicely in this part of the world, and this field is not strong at all. On top. MAWHIBAT AL ASAYL (12) is a filly by Abu Alabyad out of Moota Haddeea on debut. Has had the benefit of two trials. Keep an eye on betting moves. WHATEVERR (11) is a four-year-old filly facing the starter for the first time. From an elite family that includes a G1 victor, being by Valiant Boy from Rb Royale Madame. Coming along well at the trials with a win at her most recent at Meydan Dirt. Promising type who should be about the mark. MARLO DE FAUST (9) could only manage to finish ninth at his latest appearance over 1400m at Al Ain. Expected to feature in the finish this time.

Jumped at big odds at debut, second last of 15 at Al Ain on January 3 over 1800m, 93 len behind Ajwa carrying 60kg at $41. Might need more time based on that poor debut.
