Verdict

AR SHAHD (8) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1m at this track when second, beaten a long neck. Likely improver so she should pay to follow. HM SHAMAEL (10) was well in commission last start over 1m at this track when fifth. Deserves another chance. RUWAYDA (3) missed the placings last time out but wasn't too far away when fourth at Abu Dhabi. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will give backers a great sight. NASA AL GHARBIA (15) missed the placings on debut two starts back, then ran a better race and finished sixth last time out over 1m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
