Meydan Race 6

Thunder Snow Handicap Sponsored By Nakheel

Prize Money: $124,481

AL NAFIR (3) is back from a spell of ten months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 2410m at Meydan. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Bhupat Seemar and it is encouraging to see Tadhg O'Shea in the irons fresh up. Watch closely. ROCK WALK (2) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on March 30 when seventh. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position from a reasonable gate and he is a leading contender. GO SOLDIER GO (4) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at this track over 2000m on February 9. Both of his career wins have been here over this trip and he can give this a shake. WILD CRUSADE (1) comes here off a break of two years after suffering a bleeding attack. Scored over 2413m at Kempton Park All Weather to launch his last campaign. He is having his first local start and if his condition is good pre-race, then he should be right in the finish.
