Meydan Race 7 - Race 7 - Dubai City Of Gold Sponsored By Emirates.com (Group 2) - Turf

REBEL'S ROMANCE (1) is a superb first-up performer and returns from a 4-month break chasing a fourth straight fresh win. He was runner-up in the Breeders' Cup Turf at Del Mar before his spell, and he looks primed for another bold showing. On top for us. KEFFAAF (2) resumed in the Zabeel Mile at this track and never threatened, finishing ninth. He has a perfect second-up record and is capable of sharp improvement. Each way. BURDETT ROAD (4) hasn't broken through of late but has been competitive in some strong races, most recently in the Red Sea Turf Handicap at Riyadh. He can measure up to any in this, and he is well worth including in all combinations. FORT GEORGE (8) followed a fresh placing with a narrow win in the Dubai Millennium Stakes over 2000m at this track four weeks ago. He is well placed again and can build on that success. Go again.
