ALMAAN (2) produced a reasonable effort when third last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Finds a tougher race but a better run will not surprise. SA'AEID (9) built on a nice third two starts back at RIYADH with a win over 2000m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by a head. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. WESTERN CITY (12) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track two starts back then landed the prize by half a length last time out over 1800m at this track. M Aldaham scored on him last time and retains the mount. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. WAFEE AL AEZ (11) fought on for third last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 6 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.
