Abu Dhabi Race 5 - Race 5 - Bani Yas Mile Mdn Stakes
AF QARES (3) is a four-year-old entire who is having his first run for the Ernst Oertel yard. Finished off last campaign with a fifth at La Teste De Buch 16 months ago. Placed in a recent trial and the French form always transfers nicely to this part of the world. He won't be a maiden for long. AF MUKHAWWAL (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2200m at this track 2 weeks ago. He strips fitter, drops in trip, and can feature. QASAF (16) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing a game third over 1200m at this track. He will be a quick improver with a solid top-3 chance again, especially with an extra 400m to travel. MYSTIC DE MEGA (9) is a 4-year-old entire on debut from the stable of Doug Watson. By Nafees from Darvina. Comes here off a Meydan Dirt trial. Worth watching for a betting push.
