Meydan Race 9 - Race 9 - Dubai World Cup Sponsored By Emirates Airline (Group 1) - Dirt
FOREVER YOUNG (1) produced a champion performance to beat a champion in the Group 1 Saudi Cup 6 weeks ago. He puts himself in the right place early on and will be even better with an extra furlong to travel, and it would be a minor miracle to see him being beaten here. IMPERIAL EMPEROR (4) was runner-up at G1 level here in his penultimate start before recording an 8-length win in the G2 Maktoum Classic on this track 5 weeks ago. He is the best of the local hopes. WALK OF STARS (10) beat the second pick in his penultimate start before not having the best of runs when finishing well behind the top pick in the Saudi Cup last time out. He will be happy to be returning to this circuit and can bounce straight back into the money. USHBA TESORO (9) was runner-up in this race last year and was third in the Saudi Cup last start. He is peaking at the right time and is a must for all combinations. RAMJET (7) was a game sixth in the Saudi Cup. He has won his only other third-up start. Include.

Chasing a hat-trick. Returns from a 42-day let-up. Last start won by a neck at Riyadh Dirt SAUG1 February 22 over 1800m defeating Romantic Warrior carrying 57kg at $2.37. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 len at Ohi G1 Tokyo Daishoten December 29 over 2000m defeating Wilson Tesoro carrying 56kg at $1.30. Best form should see him measure right up.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Last start 3rd of 8 at Santa Anita in the G1 Santa Anita Handicap on March 1 over 2012m, 12 len behind Locked with 56kg at $3.90. The start before that won by 1.5 len at Fairgrounds G3 Louisiana Stakes January 18 over 1710m defeating Komorebino Omoide carrying 56kg at $2.30. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently favourite; scored a big 8 len win at this track G2 Al Maktoum Classic March 1 over 2000m defeating Artorius carrying 57kg at $2.30. The run before that 2nd of 12 at this track in the G1 Al Maktoum Challenge on January 24 over 1900m, 3 len behind Walk Of Stars with 57.5kg at $5. Big chance to go back-to-back.

Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 14 at Riyadh Dirt in SAUG1 on February 22 over 1800m, 12 len behind Forever Young carrying 57kg at $17. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Ohi in the G1 Tokyo Daishoten on December 29 over 2000m, 1.75 len behind Forever Young carrying 57kg at $5. Well held last time and facing tough task today.
