Dubai World Cup

On the face of it, Oisin Murphy seems to be one of the jocks with a decent book of rides and I fancy a couple of his eachway.

Godolphin Mile - Muntahzah looks like one of the bankers on the card and seems very hard to oppose

Dubai Gold Cup - Prince of Arran e/w. Would obviously love to see Marinaresco run a big race for MDK but looks to be Goldolphin's race for the taking unless the French horse has had an easy time of the travelling.

Al Quoz Sprint - Sands of Mali for me but again the Godolphin horse looks the business after impressing last time out.

UAE Derby - Jahbath, the stable think highly of this one

Dubai Golden Shaheen - Looks a trappy contest, will be a spectator

Dubai Turf - Looks to be Almond Eye's race to lose but one horse that I have followed throughout last season and was impressed with is I Can Fly. Hacked up as expected on reapparance (despite the race being delayed a week after meeting was abandoned when first scheduled to run) and at 12/1 could be a nice eachway prospect for the AOB / Ryan Moore combo

Sheema Classic - Old Persian won a good race despite running into trouble last time out. Magic Wand another contender.

Dubai World Cup - Amazing the difference a year has made for North America. One I like e/w is Gronkowski, not entirely sure why but wasn't the worst run last time for new trainer and may have improved for that. Call it a sign from the universe with the fact that Gronk has recently retired from the NFL. There have been crazier summations.

Think it might be their human right issues the linger that puts me off

Have to agree - only saw the first race - anyway, to each his own
