Race 1: Yuk Sau Handicap

4 Champion Pal is competitive over this course and distance. He draws favourably with Zac Purton engaged. Strong booking with the Australian engaged and stepping away from the inside gate should give him every chance. #5 Victorious Seeker falls into a similar category. Trainer Paul O’Sullivan could easily collect a one-two finish here. #7 Legion Of Merit is a threat. He won well two starts ago and deserves respect here. #9 Asian One is progressing. He’s improved with each rise in distance and should be a factor under the light weight.

Race 2: Tsui Man Handicap

3 Meaningful Star doesn’t know how to run a bad race. He pairs favourably with Zac Purton – who on Sunday – collected a win in tandem with trainer Francis Lui. The draw only enhances his chances. #5 A La King is chasing back-to-back wins. He’s a threat in his spot. #8 Dr Winning is showing steady signs of further improvement. He won well last start, enough so to suggest that another was a possibility. #2 Transcendent mixes his form but does have a bit of class on his day. Don’t discount him up in grade.

Race 3: Yik Yam Handicap...

Monday’s “Lock” stays at Pompano Park on race 05 with the #5-Born Desire-Drops and had last quarter of 27 last out. Jo Chindano jr drives

Last Lock won again! The pick record is at 879 of 1379 wins with 242 seconds and 90 thirds.

Race 1: Ambitious Dragon Handicap 

#7 Looking Great slots in light. Suspect he’s still on the improve and his handicap here has him favoured. He draws well, steps out for the in-form Frankie Lor and shapes as the one to beat. #5 Enjoying is desperately overdue for a win in Hong Kong. Expect he rolls forward and tries to make all here. #4 Berlin Tango falls into a similar category. Zac Purton’s booking commands respect. #1 Charity Go can do no wrong of late. He’s after back-to-back wins, which looks gettable here.  

Race 2: Gold-Fun Handicap 

#5 Cheery moved well in his latest trial. He looks to have a touch of class early on and he just might be ready to win first-up in Hong Kong. He’s worth taking a chance on. #2 Street Scream is racing...

Meydan Overview & Selections – Week 6:

Lord Glitters was a winner here last week on the Dubai International Carnival blog and I have five selections this week across the six-race card. The action is a bit low key compared to previous weeks but still provides competitive action and some good opportunities to find a winner.

The dirt track did not perform to type last week, it was deep and slow and suited closers rather than front-runners. This is unusual, but it would pay to tread carefully with the dirt races this week, bearing in mind that the pace bias may well return.

9:00am (ET) Meydan: Desert Safari

I am taking a chance on this horse from the Salem Bin Ghadayer yard despite his wide draw in stall 10. Essentially, he is a speedy horse who looks sure to be ridden aggressively, he is likely to lead and if the track has returned to type may be capable of making all. His UK form is certainly good enough to win a race of this type. He boasts a very good second place last season at Ascot in a Class 2 handicap off a mark of 95. He seemed to handle the dirt on his first Meydan start where he showed bright speed before weakening in the straight as if needing the run. He will be much better for that effort and with the best gate jockey in Dubai in the form of Mikael Barzalona I expect him to jump quickly and lead this field all the way to the wire.

9:35am (ET) Meydan: Silent Speech

I see no reason why this horse cannot back up his recent success over course and distance. He is a lightly raced Dubawi with only three starts to his name, two of which he has won. He looks certain to improve, yet to win this he will just have to repeat his effort last time out. He travelled strongly in that race and from off the pace hit the line strongly to win going away. For a horse with a fairly stout pedigree on the Dams side he is speedy and his main...

Thursday’s “Lock” is at Dover Downs on race: 12 with the #6-Movin on up’ -Looks like a winner in this spot. Tim Tetrick drives.

Last Lock was off the board . The pick record is at 876 of 1375 wins with 242 seconds and 89 thirds.
