Meydan Race 4 - Race 4 - Palm Jebel Ali Maiden Stakes - Flat
POWER FOR POWER (4) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten by less than a length into third over 1408m at Kempton Park All Weather. Has ability and is one of the leading chances at his local debut. DO OR DO NOT (2) resumes from a spell of three months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 1413m in the LR Flying Scotsman Stakes at Doncaster. Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. START ME UP (5) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten by less than a length, over 1207m at Southwell All Weather when coming back from a break. Among the main chances. ZALTAN (8) is a two-start maiden who was close to a win before an eight month break, finishing off with a minor placing at Curragh. First try at this longer trip. Solid top-three hope.
