Doncaster Race 8 - Uae President Cup (Uk Arabian Derby) (Arab Group 1)
LINO (2) Looked good when 2nd last run at San Sebastian. I Mendizabal is a suitable booking. Has plenty of early speed. One of the better chances. HIBIKINADA DU MAZET (8) Racing on a quick back up. Ran home into 3rd beaten by 6L last time at Windsor and gets a favourable draw. Showing good ability this campaign. Worth consideration. SHAIHAAN (7) Francois Rohaut 4yo debutant by Al Mourtajez. Watch the betting. MDAWI (5) Displayed good finishing speed when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last start at Southwell. Has scope so do not ignore.
