Race 1: Babington Handicap
#2 Special M is chasing back-to-back wins. He’s hit his straps nicely and his rise looks far from over. Race experience and winning form can carry him a long way here. #3 Stoltz has done little wrong. He pairs favourably with Zac Purton and is coming to hand in Hong Kong very, very quickly. #7 Like That slots in light. He draws favourably and on his day he has a sharp turn of foot. #1 Namjong Sings has claims. He’ll be finishing fast from the rear of the field.
Race 2: Pok Fu Lam Handicap
#9 Gorgeous Inheritor closed rapidly first-up this campaign to grab fourth. He has his fair share of talent and he looks ready to win now. #3 Daily Beauty is competitive in his spot. He’s down to a winnable mark now; the question is the wide gate – which makes things difficult here. #1 All You Know is also stepping away...
Monday’s “Lock” is at Western Fair on race: #07with the #3 -W C Kenzie Cookie-Broke last out-wins tonight if stays flat!-Brett Macdonald drives.
Last Lock was 2nd and the record is at 864 of 1356 wins with 239 seconds and 89 thirds

Meydan Overview & Selections – Week 2:
Week one was a nightmare from a punting point of view – all selections running poorly. What was reassuring was the fact that pace on the rail on the dirt track looked to confer a big advantage and it will continue to do so throughout the Carnival. The turf course looked to ride as well as always without the usual Godolphin dominance. I expect that to change this week.
I am going with four selections again this week:
9:35am ET Meydan: New Kingdom
I am always keen to follow lightly raced progeny of Dubawi as they progress through their career and I take this promising gelding to make big strides now he is in Dubai. He has a lovely pedigree and built on his debut fifth at Newmarket with a win at Haydock where he showed he had learnt plenty from his debut and benefited from stepping up to 1600 metres. He goes another furlong here which will definitely suit him and he is well drawn in stall 2. He made all when he won last time and William Buick may adopt the same tactics from his good draw. He is the best-bred horse in the race and has a progressive profile and that makes him an attractive punting proposition.
10:10am ET Meydan: Albahr
This is the UAE 2000 Guineas trial and I believe this is one of the best horses to have contested this race for a number of years. I say that because he is already a Grade 1 winner. That win came in the Summer Stakes at Woodbine on his final start last season. Prior to that he won three races on the bounce in the UK including a Listed race at Salisbury. The big question he has to answer is whether he will handle the dirt surface. Given that he is by the multi surface sire Dubawi out of a mare who was by the dirt sire Street Cry there is every chance that a dirt surface will be no problem and he could improve for it. If he handles it he wins.
11:55am ET...
