Meydan Overview & Selections – Week 2:
Week one was a nightmare from a punting point of view – all selections running poorly. What was reassuring was the fact that pace on the rail on the dirt track looked to confer a big advantage and it will continue to do so throughout the Carnival. The turf course looked to ride as well as always without the usual Godolphin dominance. I expect that to change this week.
I am going with four selections again this week:
9:35am ET Meydan: New Kingdom
I am always keen to follow lightly raced progeny of Dubawi as they progress through their career and I take this promising gelding to make big strides now he is in Dubai. He has a lovely pedigree and built on his debut fifth at Newmarket with a win at Haydock where he showed he had learnt plenty from his debut and benefited from stepping up to 1600 metres. He goes another furlong here which will definitely suit him and he is well drawn in stall 2. He made all when he won last time and William Buick may adopt the same tactics from his good draw. He is the best-bred horse in the race and has a progressive profile and that makes him an attractive punting proposition.
10:10am ET Meydan: Albahr
This is the UAE 2000 Guineas trial and I believe this is one of the best horses to have contested this race for a number of years. I say that because he is already a Grade 1 winner. That win came in the Summer Stakes at Woodbine on his final start last season. Prior to that he won three races on the bounce in the UK including a Listed race at Salisbury. The big question he has to answer is whether he will handle the dirt surface. Given that he is by the multi surface sire Dubawi out of a mare who was by the dirt sire Street Cry there is every chance that a dirt surface will be no problem and he could improve for it. If he handles it he wins.

Race 1: Un Chau Handicap
#11 Speed Force can roll forward here. He shapes as the one to run down off the back a strong win two starts ago. #10 The Elites only needs to offset the awkward gate to be a factor here. He can figure with the right run under the in-form Vagner Borges. #2 Crown Avenue always gives them a head start but he is not worth discounting here. Strong booking of Karis Teetan suggests he is in the right frame of mind. #7 Run Des Run landed his first win last start. He should improve off that effort, although this is a tricky contest.
Race 2: Pak Tin Handicap
#11 Street Scream finally gets some luck with an inside gate. He can turn his form around here, especially in a tight and compact contest such as...
