Meydan Saturday Mar. 26th

[Kitan]

Getting these up early as I'm above the Arctic Circle at the moment and don't know if I'll have a chance to put them up later...

Race 2 (Godolphin Mile):
#2 Marking: Doesn't find the strongest field to make his G1 debut and looks to have some ability
#10 Prayer For Relief: Caught wide in his first two this year, then ran on well late when back in two weeks. Toss the turf run. Compare Confrontation form line with #1
#1 One Man Band: Different animal since being put on the front end. SCR of #3 helps his case
#9 Sloane Avenue: Missed time with a few issues

Race 3 (Gold Cup):
#3 Suegioo: Although he didn't win last year he was in the form of his career, running third in two prestigious marathons
#1 Vazirabad: The best on paper but first off the layoff and reportedly had issues travelling
#10 Tellina
#5 Star Empire

Race 4 (UAE Derby):
#5 Vale Dori: 4yo filly giving away weight in never a positive, but will have needed that first up run and the price looks reasonable
#2 Polar River
#7 Lazzam
#6 On the Rocks

Race 5 (Al Quoz Sprint):
#4 Not Listenin'tome: Gave away 13-27lbs last time in good company and still won, just has to ship to Dubai and run back in three weeks
#5 Peniaphobia: Probably the better of the two from HK, but has had a bit of a stop-start campaign
#7 Sole Power: Never rated this one but he won last year and stormed home late in the prep
#10 Muthmir

Race 6 (Golden Shaheen):
#2 Master Kochanwong: Retiring after this so will be giving it his best shot. Trialled phenomenally a week and a half ago and looks a juicy overlay
#8 Confrontation: Other than the Forego debacle, what else could he have done: 2nd to Liam's Map, Tonalist, Lea, Salutos Amigos, etc...
#1 Rich Tapestry: Can't take any of the Mar 5 dirt form seriously. Been there, done that, and showed in Feb he's still got something
#7 Muarrab

Race 7 (Turf):
#10 Euro Charline: Not disgraced last year without a prep. Collapsed after a blitzing pace trying to repeat in CHI and looks an overlay here taking on the boys
#14 Real Steel: High hopes for this one but couldn't quite perform past 9f. Back to what looks like his best distance with Moore, but drawn in 14
#12 Ertijaal
#6 Flamboyant

Race 8 (Sheema Classic):
#8 Highland Reel: Moore rates this his best chance of the night, and with good reason
#9 Dariyan: No match for Postponed last time, but the upside with him is brighter
#4 Duramente: Pay close attention to how Real Steel runs in the previous
#7 Postponed

Race 9 (World Cup):
#9 Frosted: Hasn't yet done it at 10f, but would have cruised home even with the extra 1/16th in the prep
#3 Gun Pit: Didn't handle the Japanese course and couldn't do much on the speed biased track
#11 California Chrome: Impressive beating a bunch of nobodies last out in a slow time
#12 Teletext: Deceptive turf form, 3/4 on dirt, de Sousa, 50-1

Good luck!
