I will be previewing the Lincoln and The Dubai World Cup as they are my main bets of today. But I will also give my selections for the Group 1's at Meydan.
15.05 Doncaster - William Hill Lincoln
So after a minor setback last week, the first real day of the flat season is here. Its not the easiest of races to work out but there is a horse that I am very keen on. Brae Hill, last years winner, returns this year on the same handicap mark of 95, so he's got to be on a lot of peoples lists, especially as he runs well when fresh. Jacks Revenge could run a good race at a big price, but I like one of the John Gosden horses. LAHAAG could be on a cracking mark for his seasonal return. He's up 5 lbs for a head loss behind Chapter Seven (who also runs here, and 6lbs higher than that win) but there is reason to believe that there is more scope for improvement from my selection. He's running from stall 6 though, so my advice would be check the results of the Spring Mile to see where the best side is.
9-1 Best price.
18.05 Meydan - Dubai World Cup
Godolphin have an excellent record in this race, and American horses do not. I will have to stick with this, even though the American horses look to have the better form. Of those Godolphin horses, Hunters Light is favourite, and you cannot knock his form at this course at all. The best from the US is sure to be Royal Delta, who is a multiple Group 1 winner, but I will be siding with AFRICAN STORY. As I am writing this, news has just broken that Mickael Barzalona is riding over Fallon, which is a bit of a shame for Fallon, but it doesn't change my opinion. I feel the step up in trip will be perfect.
9-1 Best price.
Meydan Group 1's
15.05 - Shea Shea, 11-8
15.45 - Frederick Engels, 10-1 e/w
16.40 - Sajjhaa, 8-1 e/w
17.20 - St Nicholas Abbey, 7-2
Best of luck all.
The Rascal.
