Dubai World Cup Day Picks and Thoughts

[mikemca]

Race 2- Al Quoz Sprint

The 11-JJ The Jet Plane is superior on his best race.He might just crush this field unless the way he drifted out badly last race was an indication of physical issues.If thats the case then the horses I would use against him are the 1-Piccadilly Filly(40-1) , 7-Mar Adentro(12-1) ,and 15-Triple Aspect (30-1).

Contenders
11-JJ The Jet Plane-----------------------WINNER
15-Triple Aspect
7-Mar Adentro
1-Piccadilly Filly

The Bet
The safe play is to key EX BX 11 with 1,7,15
Longshot play is EX BX 1,7,15



Race 3- Godolphin Mile

The 13-Skysurfers ran a huge race last time out.It was the fastest any horse in this race has every ran and if he repeats that I don't know who can beat him.However it came off a pretty long layoff and might set him back for this race.I like the 12-Rileyskeepingfaith(12-1) to keep improving as he has done all 4 races he made this year.The horses I would use with him are the 8-Zafeen Speed(20-1) , 4-As De Treble(20-1) ,5-Imbogi(8-1), and 1-Mufarrh(20-1).

Contenders
13-Skysurfers------------------------WINNER
12-Rileyskeepingfaith
8-Zafeen Speed
4-As De Treble
5-Imbongi
1-Mufarrh-----------------2nd

The safe play straight EX 13 over 12,8,4,5,1-------------WINNER PAID $160.60
Longshot play is straight EX 12,8 over 4,5,1


Race 4- UAE Derby

Its kind of rare that in a Derby the fillies look the fastest but thats what you have here.The 1-Reem(10-1) , 5-Mahbooba(5-1) , and 11-Khawlah(8-1) have ran faster at the carnival than their male peers.The colt that is a newcomer and favorite 13-Xin Xu Lin is making his 1st start for Bin Suroor and 1st start over the track.I will let him beat me because the only colt I am using is the 8-Zanzamar(8-1).

Contenders
5-Mahbooba------------------------3rd
1-Reem
8-Zanzamar
11-Khawlah------------------------WINNER

The safe play is to play a key EX BX 5 with 1,11,8
Longshot play is the same bet except the 1 with 5,11,8



Race 5- Dubai Golden Shaheen

I would like the 5-Dynamic Blitz(12-1) a whole lot if it wasn't for the 9-Rocket Man(2-1).The 5 is 5 for 7 at this distance over synthetics.Something the 7-Euroears(9-2) isn't proven over having never run on it.I will also use the 2-Dim Sum(8-1) underneath also.The key to this race for me is trying to beat Kinsale King and if Euroears takes too much money, him also.

Contenders
9-Rocket Man---------------WINNER
5-Dynamic Blitz
7-Euroears------------------2nd
2-Dim Sum

Safe Play is straight EX 9 over 5,7,2-------------WINNER PAID $14.20
Longshot play is key EX BX 5 with 9,7,2 or just a WIN Bet on the 5

You can see I am against just about every American horse.Not because I am unpatriotic its just I think it has to affect a horse to run on all the meds they do in America and then ship to where they are not allowed to use them.You are basically betting a horse in withdrawl.

good luck Mike. Might play a few of these if up on time before I go to OTB.

Race 6- Dubai Duty Free

This race looks wide open and the approach to the race should be whether or not you are going to try to beat the 2 favorites 6-Presvis(3-1) and 16-Raihana(4-1).I also think the 14-Victors Cry ml of 9-2 is outrageous.I can't see him being less than 10 or 15 to 1.I think the 9-Bankable(10-1) is going to run a big race after prepping 3 races this year on the Meydan Tapeta they get back on favorite surface of turf.I will use the 4-Royal Bench(20-1) , 5-Wigmore Hall(10-1) , and 3-River Jetez(10-1).


Contenders
6-Presvis-----------------------WINNER
9-Bankable
4-Royal Bench
3-River Jetez------------------2ND.....Wigmore Hall was 3rd

Safe Play is just to EX BX 6,9,4
Longshot Play is EX BX 9,4 ,5,3
Win Bet on 9-Bankable










Race 7- Dubai Sheema Classic

Contenders
6-Irish Flame (10-1)
10-Rulership (10-1)
2-Deem (20-1)
8-Rewilding (8-1)
1-Laaheb (20-1)


Race 8- Dubai World Cup

Contenders
7-Musir (5-1)
12-Twice Over (4-1)
14-Golden Sword (20-1)

NP Got tired of writing at the end so just listed the key players

[mikemca]

If I had 1 bet it would be 5-Dynamic Blitz in the 5th.I think the 9-Bankable runs a big race in the 6th but that race has many who can win.

[mikemca]

JJ The Jet Plane rolls in the Al Quoz with War Artist 2nd

[zebra58]

3rd going w/ i want revenge think he might crush these, good luck today mike
