Verdict

HM SHAMAEL (9) was fourth on debut, then ran a better race to finish second last time out over 1 ?m at this track. Has the pace and the right draw to find a good early position. Expecting a bold showing again. CITRINE (7) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was only ninth over 1 ?m at this track. Each way claims in this modest field. HAY'ATT AL SHAHANIA (1) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1m at this track. This is an easier assignment, and he can take this out. AS MAADIN (4) is back after a break of ten months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fifth over 7f at Abu Dhabi. Follow the market moves.
