We are happy to offer our IdaBet players the race cards for the sixth meeting of the 2018 Dubai World Cup Carnival.
Meydan Selections – Week 5:
Thunder Snow was the star turn at Meydan last week when taking Round 2 of the Maktoum Challenge. His performance though, although useful, was far removed from being one that puts him in contention to win a World Cup. His time was just below par for an extended 9f dirt race at Meydan and although he could improve some more I am doubtful that he is a legitimate World Cup candidate. He is essentially a useful turf horse who is effective on dirt. Five weeks of Carnival action have yielded ten winners here on the blog. Hopefully we can maintain the momentum. Week six is not a strong week. Small fields predominate, but we will get a chance to see a proper dirt horse in the shape of Gold Town, who should take the UAE 2000 Guineas in his stride.
10:05am (ET) Meydan: Golden Wood
Christophe Soumillon was at his brilliant best to win on this horse last time out and he is on board again on Thursday. The form of that victory has worked out well as the runner-up, Gold Star, has won since. He has only gone up 3lb in the weights for that success but given that he looked in tremendous form last time and has had a month to recover from his exertions he looks capable of defying the rise. He is usually held up (strong traveller) and could do with some pace to run at, but I will leave the tactics to Soumillon. That is often the best policy.
