Al Ain Race 5 - Al Ain Derby Stakes - Dirt
JAP JAZIL (8) Showed promise when winning last start at Abu Dhabi and lining up against easier rivals. Strong form this campaign winning 2 from as many attempts and good career start. Can get the job done. MOKHEEFA NF (14) Got the upper hand late when winning last time at Abu Dhabi and matched against a less competitive field. Unbeaten last 3 starts and promising career start. Worth a ticket. SHADDAD (10) In the money when 2nd last run at Abu Dhabi and has been racing in stronger company. Showing consistent performance in races. Suitably placed in this race. JAP HAMZAH (7) Placed 3rd last run at Abu Dhabi and back in an easier grade. Performing honestly this campaign and showing consistent performance in races. Underrated.

Jumped at $21.00 and came in 4th last time at Jebel Ali but drawn nicely. Going over extra ground. Will be a difficult assignment.
