Dubai Racing 2015
Another January, another Dubai carnival. Missed last week but like a trio of races this week.
Race 2: #5 Le Bernardin: G3 winner at MTH in 2012, but lightly raced since. Looks to be returning to his best and is in against a bunch unproven on the surface. 5-1 and upwards looks great. #9 Zain Eagle: Classy, classy bottom side, especially for the dirt, and ran well in his two AWT tries. Second to Farraaj, albeit getting a lot of weight, but may be the unknown that pops up. Race 4: #2 Maftool: Standout with an American pedigree. Handled the AWT. Shocker if he doesn't crush them. #10 Volatile: Demolished maidens on the dirt in Sweden, but backed that up with a G3 third in GB (turf). Trainer has been on fire in Scandinavia. They don't have a good record in Dubai but that mostly comes from the Petersen/Graberg combo. #9 Unorthodox: 25-1 winner on debut on the AWT. Tiznow on the dam's side. Exotics booster. Race 6: #6 Conveyance: Another with ancient USA form that's recently been lightly raced. However, his two 2014 runs were pretty good and he doesn't meet much here. Overlay. #7 Reynaldothewizard: Untouchable at the '13 carnival and wasn't disgraced last year. 9yo hasn't run on dirt in over 5 years. #8 looks to be the fav and smashed them on his yearlong layoff, but this is much tougher than his string of wins at Jebel Ali. Good luck! |
