Earlier, in a quick-fire double for the combination of trainer Jassim Ghazali and jockey Marco Casamento as the Nasser Saeed al-Eida-owned Mystical Music won the 1400m Handicap (70-90) for four-year-old+ Thoroughbreds by a length and three quarters. It was also another treble by Casamento for the second day in a row.
Meshaal bin Ali al-Attiyah’s Irtiqaa picked up her second win in a row, as the seven-year-old mare took the 1400m Handicap (0-95) for four-year-old+ Local Thoroughbreds by a quarter of a length for trainer Jassim Ghazali and Casamento, who made it a double on the day.

Wathnan Racing’s Union ran out a narrow winner for trainer Alban de Mieulle in the 2200m Handicap (65-85) for four-year-old+ Thoroughbreds. Under the ride of Ronan Thomas, the six-year-old just got the better of Seulomonde by the smallest of margins in another thrilling finish.
In an exciting three-way finish in the 1400m Handicap (0-65) for four-year-old+ Local Thoroughbreds, the Jassim bin Hamad al-Atteya-owned and Mohamed Hamad al-Attiya-trained SK Shaheen took the honours with a head and another head separating the first three home.
