Meydan Overview & Selections – Week 3:

 We saw a monster performance from a proper dirt horse last week. In Round 1 of the Maktoum Challenge, North America bullied his rivals into tame submission and in so doing propelled himself into the Dubai World Cup picture. His timefigure was as good as the one posted by Thunder Snow in winning the Dubai World Cup and it equalled his performance in Round three of the Maktoum Challenge last season. He deserves to be to the fore of the Dubai World Cup market but he needs to prove that he can run as fast when things don’t go his way when he is taken on for the lead or when he is faced with Kickback or a wide trip. However as we stand he has put up the best performance at this year’s Carnival so far.

Three selections this week and hopefully you followed me in with Walking Thunder last week.

I tipped this horse two weeks ago here at Meydan and am going in again. He shaped really well in second place then in a slowly run race (110.1% finishing speed percentage) won by Bin Battuta. Essentially he was out sprinted late on but he had travelled like the likeliest winner for much of the race. He steps up in trip here which will suit him and he should be hard to beat off his unchanged mark of 105. He reminds me of Walton Street who thrived as a stayer last year and he can emulate that horse here.
