Meydan Race 8 - Race 8 - Handicap - Dirt
CASTLEWARDEN (2) won his last 2 starts in the US before being bought and transferred to the top Bhupat Seemar yard. He is likely to race on the early pace and will be very hard to hold out. MUBAKKER (1) returns from a long spell. He may be in the veteran stage of his career but he does come to hand quickly and can make full use of his handy draw. Watch closely. EL NASSEEB (3) is yet to taste defeat in two starts, the latest when resuming from a spell over 1200m at this track. He has plenty of scope and has been given 6 weeks to get over his last start. The extra furlong is no problem and he can win again. ASAD ZABEEL (4) has been kept fresh since he resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2.25 lengths over 1400m at Jebel Ali. Each way value in a competitive contest.

Entire returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign by 0.1 len Churchill Downs May 2 over 1509m defeating Classic Legacy with 56.5kg at $2.86.

Second-up. Comes off a 48-day let-up. First-up after nine months won by 2.25 len at Jebel Ali November 30 over 1400m defeating Mawthog with 60.5kg at $7.50. Previously second-up 8th of 11 at Meydan on December 22 2023 over 1000m, 6 len behind Ponntos carrying 57kg at $24.10. Should progress from that first-up run.
