GAAB (6) opened this prep last start with a second, beaten 13 lengths, over 2000m at this track. Strips fitter now and rates among the leading chances. LAE OYOUN MAZIAD (7) registered his first win last start over 1400m here, getting home by 2 lengths. Re-unites with M Aldaham who was on board last start. Nicely placed to double the win tally. MARFAD (16) is back after a break of eight months. At the last run before the layoff she finished ninth over 1600m at Riyadh Dirt. Rates highly and is a chance to break through while fresh. DARBI (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when fourth over 2000m at this circuit, beaten 15 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
