Abu Dhabi Race 2 - Race 2 - Fursan Al Watan Sprint Arabian Maiden Stakes - Turf
ELSHAHM (1) is a well-bred colt by Th Richie out of the Group 1 winner Fee Al Maury and makes his race debut here. He has won a recent trial and profiles as forward enough to make an immediate impact. Looks ready to rumble first-up. KUHINUR (13) debuted with a seventh-place finish over 1400m at Al Ain. He should take plenty of benefit from that experience and appears well placed to improve sharply. NAWAHEL (14) steps out for the first time. By Mahabb and trained by Eric Lemartinel, she is worth monitoring closely in betting for any positive market moves. JAP AAHID (8) is a first-starter by Saintloup out of Jap Lamsah. His recent trial effort was quiet, so the market may provide the best guide to his chances.

Gelding by Th Richie facing the starter for the first time. Trial form indicates he's up to a solid debut. Won a Jebel Ali trial over m on February 25. Could pay to consider.
