Meydan Race 7 - Race 7 - Next Mile Stakes By Emaar - Dirt
MAGIC ART (3) shed the maiden tag in style over 1400m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Lightly raced with clear upside, he looks to be progressing well and should be the one to beat again. ASHWAAN (1) finished fourth over 1600m at Jebel Ali Racecourse last start after a strong first-up win at the same venue. This is tougher, but he has the ability to make his presence felt. MISS YECHANCE (9) improved sharply to finish a close fourth over 1000m on the turf course here last time out. She finds a suitable race here and is capable of getting the job done. MENAKI (8) is a three-year-old colt on debut for trainer Marwan Al Baidhaei. By Shancelot out of Mined Over Matter, he is worth keeping safe, especially if there is strong market support.

Lining up for just third start. At very big odds at debut, ran last of 13 at Meydan on February 6 over 1200m, 29 len behind Northern Champion with 55kg at $101.
