Abu Dhabi Race 3 - Race 3 - Abu Dhabi Derby Prep Stakes
TURQUOISE (11) First up after 30 weeks and tidy run when 2nd first up last preparation at the track. S Legrix and Abdallah Al Hammadi have a high strike rate together. Good prospects. HANEEF (4) First up from a break of 30 weeks. Good win last time at Al Ain and racing over a longer distance. Has shown early pace in races to date. A win wouldn't surprise. VERECONDO (7) Ran 4th last time at this track but up against a less challenging field. Might be ridden for luck. Drawn beautifully. Underrated. NORIA DE L'AIGLE (10) Performed below standard when 9th last start at this track but up against weaker rivals. Has a positive draw. Knockout chance in this.

First up after a 30 week break. Chimed in with a win last start here and competing in an easier class. Might have to make up considerable ground. Sound chance.

First run back from a 30 week break. Scored a victory last time at Al Ain and racing over extra ground. Has plenty of early speed. Definite claims for punters.
