The fifth meeting of the 2020 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.

Meydan Overview & Selections – Week 5:

Last week two horses threw their hat into the ring for the Al Quoz sprint. Equilateral put up one of the best performances of the Carnival in winning on the turf over five furlongs and Glorious Journey travelled strongly before winning the Al Fahidi Fort over 7 Furlongs. Both have a chance of being competitive on World Cup night although Equilteral may always be best at 5 furlongs. Glorious Journey reminds me of Jungle Cat who also won the Al Fahidi Fort before tasting Al Quoz glory. He could be a live outsider on the night.

Four selections at Meydan this week:

10:05am Meydan – Barney Roy

This formerly classy three year old makes his debut in a weak looking Al Rashidiya and if ready to fire, he will take a fair bit of beating. As a three year old he finished second in the 2000 Guineas to Churchill and then won the St James’s Palace Stakes. After missing 2018 he won a Listed race at Longchamp before going off favourite for the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot where he ran poorly. He has not been seen since but this could just be the environment that will allow him to thrive.

10:40am Meydan – Universal Order

I was really impressed with this horse when he won here at the beginning of the year and he can go in again here. He showed a sharp turn of foot to win that day having been held up off the pace in a slowly run race and a 5lb rise in the handicap underestimates his superiority that day. This step up in trip will be no problem and his hold up style and change of gear is perfect for this turf track. He has had 28 days to get over his exertions and thus should avoid the dreaded bounce. He looks certain to go well here.
