ATHMAN BAYNOUNAH (7) fought on for third last start over 1400m at Al Ain, making it two minor placings in a row. He has the speed to be prominent from the outset, and he is good enough to take this out. DH ALBAHAR (2) finished out of the money two starts back, then was well beaten over 1000m at Al Ain three weeks ago. He is better than that, and he is worth another chance. ALSALAM (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track. he strips fitter and is a likely improver with strong top 4 prospects. SAMAA AL GHARBIA (12) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at Al Ain over 1600m. Placed to advantage, and he is well worth including in all combinations to be safe.
