Taif Race 11 - 1m Stakes
ALZAEM (1) gained valuable race experience when finishing fourth on debut over 1400m at this track just a week ago. He should take significant improvement from that outing and if this race has not come too soon for him, he will go close to taking it out. METSANEA (4) is an intriguing first starter by Tajaaweed from the highly successful broodmare Najhah. The stable has an excellent record with debut runners and, despite an awkward draw, he has the profile to make an immediate impact. NAHHAB (6) makes his race debut for the A Alshafai stable and is another with plenty of appeal on pedigree. By Olympiad, he has the credentials to be competitive from the outset and must be respected. THUNDERSTRIKE (8) also steps out for the first time and has drawn favourably to make life easier on debut. The Keen Ice colt represents the Mh Alsubaie yard and any strong market support would further enhance his prospects.

At debut, ran last of 10 at this track on July 25 over 1400m, 69 len behind Hatha Mansour carrying 58kg at $23. Might need more time based on that poor debut.
