Taif Race 3 - 1M Stakes
ALBARON (2) impressed when successful on debut over 1200m at this track two weeks ago. Looks promising and can measure up again. AASFAH GHATHAWAN (11) returned from a spell a week ago when she was beaten 8 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time. SATI QANON (8) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. ALMURTAJIZ ALBARIZAT (3) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of A Alsaedan. By Najd Al Khalediah from Rs Bint Munirah. Worth watching for a betting push.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when 18th of 20 at Riyadh Dirt on February 8 over 1400m, 69 len behind Wshmih Alsraya carrying 58kg at $8. Unlikely to threaten.
