Verdict

AF SAMETAH (14) is a four-year-old filly by Af Al Buraq out of Saleemah stepping out on debut for the Ernst Oertel stable. Placed in a recent trial at Jebel Ali. Should measure up. Keep a close eye on betting. NAWAHEL (15) faced the starter for the first time and finished tenth last start at this track over 7f. He can improve sharply and is expected to feature. JAP AAHID (9) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at this track over 7f, beaten 2.5 lengths. Open to improvement and can feature. SULTAN XMANSOR (2) wasn't far away on debut last start over 7f at this track, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. Can figure in the finish at some each-way value.
