Abu Dhabi Race 4 - Race 4 - Wathba Stallions Cup (For Private Owners) Mdn Stakes
LAHEEB BAYNOUNAH (8) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1200m at this track. In the right race and with the step up to 1600m being ideal, he can go one better. NAHEEB (9) stepped out for his debut over 1200m at Jebel Ali back on March 15 and finished eighth, when well found in the market. He should progress this time, and with more maturity, he is expected to feature. AF MAALI (1) raced once in the maiden prep at this track over 1600m back on April 4 2024. He was the favourite that day, and he must have been worth waiting for. Follow your money. S WARD (11) is a entire by Thulbaseera Al Jasra out of Bayata who is at the races for the first time today. Well beaten in recent trial, but he has the blinkers on, and is expected to be a sharp improver.
