ES KHAIRIYAH (8) looks ready to rumble fresh up after finishing second over 1600m at this track 8 months ago. She has placed first-up in both previous attempts and is likely to take control of the race off the top. Hard to beat. AF SAQARA (6) also boasts a perfect fresh record, finishing in the placings in both first-up runs. She can settle handy with the blinkers on, and is another each-way chance. AF YARTAAD (7) has prepared for his comeback with a comfortable victory in a Meydan Dirt trial. He has enough pace to get handy early on, and should be prominent throughout. SAND STORM AA (9) ended his last campaign with consecutive minor placings, the latest over 1400m at Al Ain 7 months ago. His tactical speed makes him worth keeping safe.
