Some insights into tonight’s end-of-month racing program.

1ST RACE – (3) BUCKEYE PRESIDENT has not been able to showcase his wares with series of no-chance draws. Guess works as a bottom claimer from here.  

3RD RACE – (4) SIR MACHALOT was put in play from outer venue in last and was credible. Another seeing best getaway in few tries, should go accordingly.

4TH RACE – (5) KEENE OLIVIA is one we thought ought to be better than bottom-feeder. Picked off small envelopes from back in last couple, be closer here.   

5TH RACE – (2) NOTHING BUT MUSCLE is a ‘change of venue’ intrigue choice, since last lines are poor. Finds way to solid barn for local bow, so we nod.

7TH RACE – (1) FASHION FOREVER wins draw and stay at it every start. Those fun factoids and perhaps some aggressiveness out of the gate couldn’t hurt.

9TH RACE – (3) MORE THAN MANY catches a very dressed-up group for this class. Would not be stunner if she stepped around inside two foes and cut mile.

11TH

Monticello Cancels Live Racing Thursday January 31 due to frigid temperatures.

Thank you for your continued support of Monticello and stay warm out there!

The fifth meeting of the 2019 Dubai World Cup Carnival takes place tomorrow, please find below the Week 5 Meydan Overview and bet selections written by Racing TV’s Angus McNae.

Also attached the race cards for the fifth race meeting of the Carnival.

Meydan Overview & Selections – Week 5:

Last year, from week one of the Dubai International Carnival I was a huge fan of Benbatl because of the potential he showed in the Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot and the subsequent unsuitable conditions he faced thereafter. He did not disappoint, taking the Grade 1 Dubai Turf on World Cup night. I did not have a similar horse in my mind this time around but Dream Castle is rapidly becoming a horse in whom I am investing a good deal of hope. He has been transformed by a gelding operation and is beginning to fulfil all the potential he showed when finishing 5th in the 2000 Guineas in 2017. Last week under Christophe Soumillon he won the Al Rashidiya, sealing the race with a smart turn of foot. He is developing into the new Benbatl. He’s not as good as him yet, but in the Grade 1 Jebel Hatta on Super Saturday he may well take another step towards being the new Benbatl.

Unfortunately a blank week last week, but we have a decent card to have a go at for Week 5 of this magnificent Carnival. Here are my five selections:

10:05am (ET) Meydan: Divine Image

The three year old filly division in the UAE at this time of year is quite weak and this filly stands out as being one with a good deal of potential for racing on the dirt at Meydan. She was wildly impressive on her only start to date winning at Chelmsford in a decent time over 6 furlongs. That early speed is a vital...

Due to the lingering affects of the winter storm and forecast of extreme cold, Monticello has cancelled live racing for Wednesday,

January 30th.

Racing is set to resume tomorrow, 12:50 post.
