Mohammed, Dobbs look to continue winning run

 Trainer Ismail Mohammed will be looking to continue his winning spree in Abu Dhabi's third race meeting at the Abu Dhabi Equestrian Club on Sunday.
Mohammed, who had two winners at Meydan over the weekend, has two runners in Al Reem Island, the lone Thoroughbred contest, in the six-race card.
Wintergreen and Counterglow are in the fray in a field of 14 with the race to be run over 2200 metres.
Mohammed had saddled Murasil to victory in Radio 1 after which Christopher Hayes guided Respect Me to win the Property Weekly at the Meydan Racecourse.
Hayes will be onboard seasonal debutant Counterglow, while stable jockey Wayne Smith, who was suspended on Thursday, will pilot Wintergreen.
"Our runners tend to improve from their first run," said Smith.
And Patrick Dobbs, who has been in sensational form over the weekend with a treble at Meydan and the feature race in Al Ain, partners Mizbah, the chare of Doug Watson. Mizbah had begun the season with victory at Jebel Ali and i will be only the horse's second turf outing in the UAE and first since his local debut in February 2013.
