39 ADIYAT RACING PLUS ISSUE 840 Thursday 4th April 2024 PREVIEW / ABU DHABI adiyat racing plus.com adiyat racing plus.com Ahmed Al Shemaili’s New Comedy could have something special waiting to be served. The other Thoroughbred event on the card is a 0-70 handicap over 1400m, in which Seemar has a live hope in Fall Of Rome, the valiant runner-up of a 1600m contest here in January. The Frankel gelding’s form carried forward for his next outing on the gruelling Jebel Ali surface too, when again second, which could really do him a favour in this field where stable companion Melicertes and Alajdl, trained by Doug Watson, are the only others seemingly with a hope in this, the latter for his seventh in a C&D three weeks ago. The pick of the events on the Purebred Arabian side of things is the G3 Arabian Triple Crown R3 (2200m), where the field will be looking to stop Ahmed Al Balushi’s RB Yas Man, winner of the second leg under Amur Al Rasbi, who keeps the ride. The four-year-old Sir Bani Yas colt might have been favourite to win the all three legs, but things did not go according to plan during the opening leg over 1600m with horse and rider, (Al Rasbi) not in sync. However, with the pair in agreement during the second leg, also over 2200m, winning turned out to be a rather straightforward application of ability. As such, as much will be expected from the pair, with numerous defeated then reopposing, including first leg winner and Diyaah, who turned up as the runner-up and third-placed Kanaille De Faust. The card is supplemented by the Abu Dhabi Equestrian Gold Cup, a Prestige 1600m run for UAE bred horses, a 1600m maiden and two further handicaps: (0-85) for locally bred runners and a 0-90 fillies and mares event.
