Monday’s Abu Dhabi meeting is highlighted by the 2200m Group 3 Arabian Triple Crown R2, the middle leg of the series for 4yos and a race that would appear to revolve about Bahar Muscat, the highest-rated horse in the race and seemingly the one to beat for Ibrahim Al Hadhrami.
Unbeaten after four starts, one in Muscat, three here in Abu Dhabi, Al Hadhrami’s charge has not put a foot wrong with three 1600m victories, two at Listed level including the opening round of this series just over a month ago.
However, he does have to prove his stamina but, if stays the trip, he should win.
