Meydan Overview & Selections – Week 1:

The Dubai International Carnival returns today and it will provide us with some superb action over the next three months. Horses that have raced here at the recent domestic fixtures will now mingle with the Godolphin battalions and foreign raiders. It makes for a heady mix of top class International action.

A six race card gets us underway with the Singspiel Stakes on the Turf and the Dubawi Stakes on dirt being the features.

I have four selections for you today. Whilst I am keen on them all it will pay to tread a little carefully with this being the first Carnival fixture.

9:30am (ET) Meydan: Ispolini

Charlie Appleby had a superb Carnival in 2018 and he can kick off this year with a winner here. Ispolini has had a break and been gelded, clearly with a campaign here in mind. He showed a decent level of form in the UK finishing second in the Sandown Classic Trial and fourth in the Chester Vase. Back in a handicap now off a mark of 105 he looks to be worth backing. He could have a tactical advantage here as he as a good draw in stall 2 and likes to stalk the pace and he should get a good tow through before attacking in the straight. I think he will have too much speed for some of his rivals here.

10:40am (ET) Meydan: Hit the Bid

This Irish raider fired a big Beyer style figure when winning on this track last year and if his recent Dundalk win is to be believed he is already showing that he is as good as last year. That win at Dundalk came in a very fast time and as long as he doesn’t recoil from that he will be very tough to beat here. He races off a mark of 110 which should be no bar to success as his win here last year was off 108....
