Verdict

ASMAHA'AN (2) got home narrowly last time out over 1 ½m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with one win and two minor placings. Silvestre De Sousa, who has two wins when partnering stays on. Sure to play a big role. ALSHAHEEN (6) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when third over 1 ?m at this track, beaten half a length. Has started three times at this course and distance and has yet to miss the placings. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TAREQ (5) finished out of the money two starts back, then was well beaten in a 1 ½m contest at this track 4 weeks ago. Looks well placed, so expect a big run this time. KATRAIN DE GHAZAL (3) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only a head back from the winner at the end of 1 ?m. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. Each way value.
