Abu Dhabi Race 7 - Race 7 - Abu Dhabi Gold Cup Stakes (Listed) - Turf

AOMORI CITY (5) is a promising four-year-old gelding who returned from a break last start and finished a brave second over 1600m in the G2 Zabeel Mile at Meydan. He is part of the dominant Charlie Applby stable, and he is poised to go one better this time. COMANCHE BRAVE (4) is back after a break of five months. He started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1408m at Leopardstown. Watch for any market moves. QUDDWAH (3) scored when resuming last start in the G2 Zabeel Mile at Meydan over this distance after he was in contention on the corner. His form over this journey is strong, boasting 6 wins from 12 starts. He can repeat the dose. MALJOOM (1) is back after a break of 10 months. He started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1609m at Lingfield All Weather. He has switched to the Michael Costa stable, and he is sure to be ready to rumble. Watch closely for any market moves.
