Verdict

MAESTRO (3) was prominent from the outset when third over 6f at Sharjah last time out nearly 2 weeks ago. His only career win came on this track, he strips fitter, and with the aid of a 7lbs claim, he should be fighting out the finish again. ES AL WARD (1) returned from a spell 2 weeks ago, and finished a game fourth over 6f at Sharjah. He had a wide gate that day, and only needs a softer trip here to go close to taking it out. Stick with him. AF BADDA'AH (13) was well in commission when resuming last start over 6f at Sharjah against most of his rivals here, and she needed the run. She hails from the top Ernst Oertel stable, strips fitter, and has to be respected. Follow your money. ES HADID (2) finished seventh over 1m at this track at his most recent appearance on April 10. He can be hard to catch, but his best effort would make him a serious top 4 chance. Include in all combos.
