Nahaash to bolster Costa's run

Costa, fresh from winning the Dubai Creek Mile (Listed) with Meshtri eight days ago, is represented in five of the seven races at Jebel Ali tomorrow.

In Race 3, the 1400m two-year-old conditions, he holds a strong hand with three runners and riding arrangements suggests Nahaash, the choice of stable jockey Ben Coen, is the most fancied of the trio.

The son of Mastery created a good impression on his racecourse debut at Jebel Ali, defeating Dark Saffron and stable companion Tawthig. The runner-up, trained by Ahmad bin Harmash, gave the form a big boost when running out a comfortable winner at Meydan last week.

Nahaash is a smart prospect and will take plenty of beating.

Rammayy, the mount of Ray Dawson, is the chief threat to his stable companion. He made a good start to his career when winning at the track two weeks ago, despite being lazy and looking green under Coen. He's entitled to come forward for the run and demands plenty of respect.

Race 4, the 1400m handicap, is a competitive event despite only attracting seven runners, with recent Jebel Ali winner Street Mood looking to follow up.

He caused a minor surprise when delivered with a well-timed challenge by Danny Tudhope to grab Haasim approaching the final 200m of the 1400m event and win going away. He needs to raise his game off a career-high rating and I'm happy to oppose him.
