Al Ain Race 1 - Race 1 Mdn Stakes
RB AL QAAHER (9) returned last time with a solid second at Abu Dhabi over 1400m. The extra 400m here is ideal, and he is set to go one better. TAROUK DU LOUP (10) returned from a spell 9 days ago when he finished fifth over 2200m at Abu Dhabi. He strips fitter, drops 400m, and can figure in the top 3 MUTAMASIK (14) needed the run, and finished eighth at Abu Dhabi last time but will strip fitter for this. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Stick with him. HAMAYIM (13) closed her last prep a year ago when she finished fourth over 2200m at Abu Dhabi. She has had plenty of time to acclimatize to racing in this part of the world, and she is well worth including in all top 4 combos.
