Meydan Overview & Selections – Week 10:

As Cheltenham looms on the horizon in the UK, we get a taste of top class International flat racing at Meydan this weekend where every race replicates those contests we can enjoy on World Cup night. Each race is not only a tremendous race in its own right but they all carry plenty of clues for the big night itself.

7:35am Meydan: MANGUZI

Manguzi won the trial for this race making all the running and he can book his place in the UAE Derby line up by winning again here. I am banking on him breaking sharply from his wide draw and finding the lead on the rail. He does possess plenty of speed as he showed in the trial where he was much better than the subsequent UAE 2000 Guineas winner Estihdaaf despite that one closing him down late on. Estihdaaf who has the benefit of a good rail in the Guineas re-opposes but is drawn outside Manguzi and the headgear that sparked him into life last time is not certain to work again. As with Dirt Racing the world over the start will be crucial. If Manguzi breaks well and can cross and clear he represents some value here.

8:45am Meydan: MUNTAZAH win. Reverse exacta MUNTAZAH and HEAVY METAL

I think this race will be dominated by Heavy Metal and Muntazah as they lay down markers for the Godolphin Mile. Heavy Metal has not been at his best in two runs here so far but his jockey Mikael Barzalona was too aggressive on him last time and he could fair better here given that he could be the sole speed...

Some insights into tonight’s racing program.

3^RD RACE – (5) VORST is just one of many from stable playing catch-up in terms of returning off layoff. She did take support first back from same venue, nod.

4^TH RACE – (6) PERSISTENT THREAT A did sneak through claimers first ’19 try with no takers. May or may not be above pay grade here, but surmise price.   

6^TH RACE – (1) TWINKLE wins the draw for final pre-Matchmaker distaff derby. With any number of these pointed there, maybe tonite devoid of movement.

8^TH RACE – (8) MILLIONDOLLAR WAVE was badly compromised by an uncharted ‘rival’s head pole on track’ issue in last. Perhaps an eight-ball flyer now.

9^TH RACE – (3) TRUTH AND LIBERTY is not very dependable, evidenced by her own misdeeds or those of others. Seems to be aptitude for this level, though.

12^TH RACE – (3) SCOTCH McEWAN sees rare inner half of gate after any number of no-shot trips. Taken to get put in play, has resume to work, finale nod.
