Abu Dhabi Race 2 - Race 2 - Arabian Triple Crown R1 Stakes (Listed) - Turf
AMER BURN (1) was an emphatic winner last time over 1600m at Listed level at this track with today's rider Tadhg O'shea engaged. He has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to be in the finish. MN HATTAN (2) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. He went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 1600m in Group 3 grade at Toulouse. Hard to beat fresh up. VERECONDO (3) returns from a spell of 11 weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. He scored at Chilivani over 1800m when first-up last time in work. Use the market as the best guide. KS MEMPHIS (7) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months and is having his first outing under new trainer Ernst Oertel. He finished seventh at Group 1 level at Saint-Cloud over 2000m at the opening run last time in work. A big run is expected.
