SAIF AL FAHAD is contesting in what looks like his easiest race to date and he can take advantage of that to at last break his maiden tag with both Desert Bump and Amosite worth noting. The selection has shown ability in his five runs to date and can put that to good use her. Although he was only fourth of seven at Great Leighs last time out, that looked a better race than this and he only need to recapture his best to win. Desert Bump showed enough promise on her debut to suggest she can win races. She does lack the experience of the selection though which may well find her out in the closing stages. Amosite has been frustrating to follow throughout the summer flat season. She was up against it in Group races on a couple of outings but when the money was down is lesser races she still got beat. She came close to breaking her maiden tag on a number of occasions and with this drop in grade she is definitely worth noting.
