Taif Race 1 - 1m Stakes
RIQ ALBANAT (15) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. ALJAWHARAH DH (3) is fresh from a spell of six-and-a-half months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Riyadh Dirt over 1200m. In a different yard now. Rates highly so expect her to be prominent. SHAQRA ALDARAE (18) is a four-start maiden who finished sixth, beaten 20 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m here. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves some consideration. ELHAM ATHBAH (21) debuted three weeks ago when she finished fourth over 1200m at this track, beaten 25 lengths. Can improve sharply.

At debut, 8th of 18 at this track on July 24 over 1200m, 32 len behind Sahab Alriyadh with 56kg at $19. Likely to take a lot from that run and is worth following up.

Second-up. First-up after seven months 6th of 15 at this track on August 7 over 1600m, 20 len behind Wajh Alkhayr Heisi carrying 56kg at $29. Previously second-up 5th of 15 at Riyadh Dirt on January 24 over 1200m, 12 len behind Dananir Aldahm carrying 58kg at $5. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
