Taif Race 9 - 7f Stakes
ALMALKIAH (2) broke through for her maiden win over 1400m at this track last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and she can go on with it. ANA ALFAEL (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 11 lengths when eighth over 1200m here two weeks ago. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task. BADORAH (5) ran below expectations last time at this circuit, finishing fifth and beaten 12 lengths starting at $4.50. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. TAGHNAM (22) wasn't beaten far over 1200m at this course on debut last start and may appreciate the longer journey. Shapes as one to consider.

Was at big odds at debut, ran second last of 18 at this track on September 5 over 1200m, 40 len behind Alghaaliyah carrying 57kg at $41. Might need more time based on that poor debut.
