Verdict

NASA AL GHARBIA (14) has been building nicely, finishing fifth two runs back before a strong effort at Jebel Ali when beaten by less than a length over 6f. That run suggests he's trending the right way and is capable of going close here. AF BADDA'AH (11) hasn't fired in her past couple, including a 30-length ninth at Abu Dhabi, but this is a far more suitable assignment, and she is well placed to rebound sharply. S A YAS (4) hasn't been seen since his debut here over 5f when finishing sixth, but with natural improvement, he can take a meaningful step forward. SULTANAT BAYNOUNAH (15) was well beaten over 1m at Abu Dhabi last start, but her debut placing shows she has ability, and with her early speed, she is capable of being competitive again.
