Abu Dhabi Race 3 - Race 3 - Emirates Colts Classic Conditions Stakes
JAP JAZIL (1) took a significant step forward second-up, bouncing off a plain return at Sharjah to score decisively over this course and distance by 2.5 lengths. That win suggested he is now finding his rhythm this campaign, and he looks well placed to continue progressing. ALMUKHATER (4) is still searching for his first victory but has shown enough in three starts to be considered a genuine threat, following a Jebel Ali placing with a solid effort here over the mile. With further natural improvement, he should be competitive. WASEEM BAYNOUNAH (16) wasn't quite as sharp last time when finishing fourth, but his first-up win at Sharjah remains a strong reference, and his overall profile fits well at this level. A return to that form would see him in the finish. SHADDAD AW (15) had market support last start but was forced to work from a wide draw and couldn't quite finish off, though he still held on to finish fifth. Stick with him.
