BATRAN (3) is back from a spell of seven months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 2000m at Riyadh Dirt. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Mohammed Almeshrafi. Rates highly and should take some beating. AL HAJIR (4) finished third, beaten 16 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track. This is a nice race and can take this out. OCEAN CRUISER (16) returns from a spell. Finished 17th at this course and distance at his only appearance last prep a year ago. Under the care of new trainer A Alaudeeb this prep. Has a high cruising speed and should be involved in the finish. YAKFEHOM (22) is back after a break of ten months. At the last run before the layoff he finished 12th over 1400m at Riyadh Dirt. Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
