HAWAFEZ (8) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with success as public elect over 1800m at Al Ain two weeks ago, getting home by 0.1 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is sure to prove hard to beat again. AF MUKHREJ (1) was well fancied last start over 2700m at Sharjah when eighth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a lovely run and can take this out. MH RAHI (10) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 2400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Won't find this as tough so he can play a big role. AAZAAD (2) improved sharply last time out to score by 2.5 lengths over 2000m at Sharjah four weeks ago. Solid top-three prospects.
