Newbury lines up for Al Shahania Stud International Stakes 14 July

July 12, 2012, Newbury, UK ~ The Al Shahania Stud sponsored race for Purebred Arabians, 3 yrs old & upwards will go off at 10F on Saturday 14 July at Newbury.

Notes:

A top class conditions race with the field having amassed well over £5 million pounds in prize money.  Stable companions Eustral and Tzar Du Paon are open to plenty of improvement and should not be under-estimated.  Vizir Des Cedres and Tidarbret both look better horses this season but may have to play for the places in behind one of the Julian Smart quartet.

The legendary Jaafer has won here before but this track doesn’t seem to play to his strengths. Mu’azzaz won here last time out but has a little to find at the weights. Asraa Min Albarq is likely to try and make all and, along with Tidarbret, force a strong pace which could play into AREEJ’s hands.  She got going far too late in a typical French style of race at Saint Cloud last time out and with a better early pace she can pick them off in the late stages.
