Abu Dhabi Race 3 - Race 3 - Al Bidaya Maiden Stakes - Turf
AF MUKHAWWAL (5) is a entire by Af Al Buraq out of Muniza on debut. Looks ready after placing in a recent Jebel Ali trial. Looks set for a bright start to his career. MON AMI HIPOLYTE (11) is a entire by Al Mourtajez out of Houadima Des Sables on debut. Fitter for a recent trial. Keep an eye on betting moves. KHATTA'AB (8) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1000m at Al Ain. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ZAWAN DE MIREVAL (14) was well fancied last time out but could only manage sixth over 1800m at Al Ain on February 1. Should be prominent from the outset. Can feature in the finish. Something for the Multiples: FURYNOCTURN DARTEO (18)

Returns from a 49-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 12 at this track on February 14 over 2200m, 6 len behind Italy carrying 57kg at $12. Before that ran last of 14 at Al Ain on January 24 over 1400m, 57 len behind Luluah carrying 57kg at $10. An inside draw is a big advantage. Winning prospects.
