Al Ain Race 9 - Al Ain Sprint Stakes - Dirt
AL FATIH (2) is holding his form well and was desperately unlucky not to score last start, nailed right on the line over 1000m here. He's racing consistently this campaign and from a handy draw, he should give supporters another bold sight. SIHRLAU (9) is an emerging talent and continues to raise the bar, putting together back-to-back wins, the latest a strong 2-length victory over 1400m at this track. He's unbeaten at the trip and looks a major player again with further improvement likely. AF YATWA'AD (1) disappointed last time when well in the market over 1000m, but he's capable of much better and has the figures to win a race of this profile. If he rebounds to his peak, he's right in the mix. RB MONEY MAKER (5) took a nice step forward last start, finishing close-up in third over 1000m. He's trending the right way and has enough talent to land in the top 3 once more.

Returns from a 29-day let-up. Last start 7th of 13 at this track on March 5 over 1000m, 8 len behind Jamra Sb carrying 56.5kg. The race before that didn't do much in the run home; 6th of 16 at Meydan Dirt on February 13 over 1400m, 8 len behind Kayaan Sb carrying 57kg at $10. Can do much better.
