However, many of the performances, Elusive Terry included, were highly creditable and offered the promise of better. Although beaten, Elusive Terry emerged with his reputation enhanced over a trip short of his best and looks sure to rank highly among UAE sprinters next term. — Suleiman Altaf Form Analyst AA LAHAB (Al Ain, March 15th) Now a Group 3 winner and unbeaten in three starts with a combined victory margin of 22 lengths, AA Lahab could not have made a more striking early impression on the racetrack. Next year’s Dubai Kahayla Classic is bound to be the ultimate aim and he is very much capable of achieving that. His progression this year has mirrored the form of his stable which has been excellent. — Mehiar Elmahi Reporter and Form Analyst RASAS (Jebel Ali, March 16th) Rasas was an early achiever this season when winning his third start over six furlongs at Jebel Ali last December. The World Of Trouble colt has run four times since then, failing to mimic that initial success. However, things changed when Connor Beasley guided him to a second win while under hot pursuit by Quartier, resulting in Rasas being a threat to look out for next season over six or seven furlongs. — Pat Comerford ERA Racecourse Commentator ALHZEEM (Jebel Ali, March 16th) There was an extremely strong early gallop to the Jebel Ali Stakes with the result being a number of contenders were taken out of their comfort zone and ended up being a long way back. Alhzeem made up a stack of ground in the straight, having given the front-runners 15 lengths on the turn through not fault of his own. Had the race been run at a more even tempo, he could well have scored. AA Lahab
