Race 1: Walnut Handicap
#6 Viva Chef appeals in the opener. He’s returned to a competitive mark and his pairing with Karis Teetan commands respect. Expect a big run. #12 Raging Blaze is closing in on a first win. He does a fair bit wrong, but he can be a factor here with no weight and Zac Purton engaged. #3 Red Brick Glory has claims. He caught the eye from the rear of the field last start. #5 Sure Winner is improving. He was sound first-up and is expected to take another step forward here.
Race 2: Fountain Palm Handicap
#4 Exceptional Nice gets another chance here. He’s nothing short of consistent and is most deserving of a first win here. Strong booking of Zac Purton signals intent from the stable. #3 Above is after back-to-back wins over this course and distance. He’s a threat over these trips, especially as a six-time winner in Hong Kong. #8 Blastoise slots in light. He steps away...

Tomorrow is the fifth meeting of the 2022 Dubai World Cup Carnival – first race 9:00am ET.
Meydan Overview & Selections – Week 5:
Hot Rod Charlie was a short-priced winner here on the Dubai blog last week. In winning he thrust himself firmly into the World Cup picture and if Life Is Good fails to turn up, he will most likely go off favourite for the big race at the end of March.
Five selections this week on an excellent 7 race card with the UAE 2000 Guineas, the Singspiel Stakes & the Curling Stakes taking centre stage. Good luck!
10:10am (ET) Meydan: Bendoog
A pacey front-runner drawn in stall 1 on the dirt here at Meydan is usually a potent weapon and given the pace that Bendoog showed on his debut he should be able to take full advantage of his draw. He won his maiden here in mid-January and that form is working out well. The third, Withering, won the Al Bastikiya trial last week in good style and Bendoog thrashed him by more than 10 lengths in that maiden. He is bred to be useful on Dirt being by Gun Runner out of a Mineshaft mare and must be supported here to back up that impressive debut win despite the step up in class. He rates as a solid play here.
10:45am (ET) Meydan: Modern News
On paper this horse looks to be the second string for Charlie Appleby behind the useful course winner D’Bai, but he figures to get a much better trip than that horse and for me is favoured here. James Doyle rides and the horse comes here on the back of three smooth victories in the UK. Those wins were achieved in decent company and there is no doubt he is ready for this Listed level. He travels very strongly in his races and stall 1 will help him adopt the perfect stalking trip. In contrast D’Bai needs to overcome stall 11 after a below par run when last seen at Newmarket. Modern News is the right play here on this...
