    Race Analysis

    AL NAJASHI (1) has improved rapidly in recent weeks landing his latest race by 13L on Friday. Turned out again quickly and very well in from a handicapping perspective. Faces a straight track for the first time but is surely booked for victory again. Southern raiders OCEAN OF STORMS (2) and OKIRU (3) move into handicaps for the first time and arrive with potential for improvement. The former makes his seasonal debut while the latter is back after a recent gelding operation. Both are entitled to respect. AL SHAGAF (4) has blinkers removed and can progress on latest outing. Worth giving close consideration.
