Fairly useful gelding. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 16 in maiden at this course (7f, 5/1) 14 days ago. That form has since been franked and rates a big danger upped in trip.

Nyquist gelding. Cost $60,000 as a juvenile. Half-brother to a pair of winners, including US graded turf winner. Dam winner, out of Breeders' Cup Sprint winner. Worth market check.

Forecasts

Keffaaf (6/5), Waqet (13/2), Kaifan (13/2), El Introvertido (15/2), Alwareeth (15/2), Al Pastor (9/1), Oasis Moon (10/1), Mashkoor (25/1), Dubai West (33/1), H Borkan (33/1), Flamewood (40/1), Zagros (50/1)

Verdict

This isn't a deep maiden and it looks a good opportunity for KEFFAAF to open his account. A number of these can't be ruled out for the minor money, with Alwareeth and Waqet the main dangers.

  1. Keffaaf6/5
  2. Alwareeth15/2
  3. Waqet13/2

Prize Money

1st: 60,000.00 AED
