BASEQ AND BAKE (2) resumes after a break since January and boasts an excellent first-up record, winning 2 of his 3 fresh appearances. He comes to hand quickly, and he looks ideally placed to make a winning return. JADE DE FAUST (13) made an encouraging comeback after five months away, finishing a solid third over this course and distance. With that run under the belt and top hoop F Alfouraidi retaining the ride, further improvement is expected and she can take this out. DAHMAN AL SHAHANIA (3) returns from a 3-and-a-half-month spell after ending his last campaign with a placing over 1200m at Al Rayyan Dirt. Now in the care of Musa Almosa, he has the talent to make an immediate impact. MUSAITR AL KHALEDIAH (10) makes his race debut for the J Aljabr stable and, while an unknown quantity, his pedigree is encouraging. Any significant market support would enhance his prospects.
