MNASEK was a very impressive winner of the UAE Oaks in February before finding Group 2 company beyond her a month later. Stable companion Faithful Soldier won a Jebel Ali maiden by a short-head but looked one-paced on his final start in April. Cocobai failed to build on an easy Jebel Ali victory and was a long way behind Hawa Bilady when the latter was a close third over 6f here a fortnight ago. Miami Joy won three times on Polytrack in the UK and was only beaten a length in a Class 2 handicap at Kempton in September but Light Beam was beaten a long way when runner-up at Jebel Ali last month.
