Meydan Race 3 - Race 3 - Palm Central Maiden Stakes - Dirt
FARAMAN (1) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1200m at Jebel Ali. Should improve sharply and this looks a nice race. HIDDEN SECRET (2) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. MNAWISH (5) has been in the betting recently but has failed to break through. Most recently finished fourth over 1200m at Jebel Ali, beaten 4 lengths. Cannot be dismissed. TUFAAN E DUBAI (10) is facing the starter for the first time. By Shamardal and hails from the I Mohammed stable. Proved too sharp in a recent Meydan Dirt trial. Worth watching for a betting push.
