Mubtaahij is an interesting study because we already know his entire sheet from the UAE recap Jerry provided us. At 1st glance he looks too slow. We know there are a lot of horses in here who are consistently & significantly faster than him. Is he forward moving? Yes, but how much more forward can he go in this race? Also, outside of Dubai he's an unknown factor. He was a slow horse on turf going 7f at Newmarket as a 2yo and he wasn't fast breaking his maiden in Dubai. Then he jumps up 4.75 points, moves forward another 2.25 points, pairs & then goes forward another .75 points. If he doesn't have at least another 3 point move in him with a complete change of scenery including quarantine, different feed & a track like he's never seen, he's got no chance.
Outside of his long distance breeding & trainer, why is anyone interested in him? He's my 1st toss.
