Progressive four-year-old Raheeb looks destined to make his mark in stronger company for trainer Michael Clements.
The chestnut has compiled a tidy record with three wins and three placings from nine appearances.

Raced by the Al Arabiya Stable, Raheeb was a $135,000 graduate of the New Zealand Bloodstock Ready to Run Sale in 2016.
