Abu Dhabi Race 3 - Race 3 - Abu Dhabi Derby Prep Stakes
AZZAM AH (2) resumes from a spell of 7 months. He was a progressive performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 2200m at this track. He will be ready to rumble fresh up. TURQUOISE (11) is a talented filly who tackled a tougher race at her last run on April 11 and finished eighth over 2200m in Group 3 grade at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be very competitive at this level. DAWOD (3) is a 4-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Ibrahim Al Hadhrami barn. Most recently finished in the placings at Al Rayyan before going for a break. The market is the best guide for this talented gelding. HANEEF (4) went to the paddock after scoring at his only appearance last prep seven months ago over 1600m at Al Ain. Winning rider Jules Mobian stays aboard, and he should continue to make his way through the grades this season.
