 Meydan 205

Hypothetical will try to make all. Can't see anything drawn inside which will try. Thegreatcollection will be waited with and then try to pounce. 

Not sure which wins :) Backed both 6/1 and a small rfc

Meydan 240

Mysterious Night 7/4 should win from this draw but is worrying this race so soon. Danyah would have been pick but for the draw. Not putting in any accas this one.

Meydan 315

Mouheeb looks the best on paper but had to be at peak on return. Colour Up can capitalise if Mouheeb not fit

Backed both 5/1 and a small rfc

Meydan 350

Equality 6/1ew. The draw may get it beat but think is an up and coming sprinter

Meydan 425 

Clapton is surely the best horse in the race, but it's Meydan dirt. Kabirkhan is very interesting, but I backed Made in Dubai 33/1ew last time out and I think is improving quickly. Will take a Barza masterclass this but worth a pop at a decent ew.

Meydan 500

Mawj is the best here, but SBS can't back any of his. I think the next best is Ottoman Fleet 10/1ew. I think is better value than Measured Time watching the last race back

Spirit Dancer 12/1ew is interesting too

Another small rfc

Meydan 610

Dhahabi 13/2ew in the hope Siskany not fit/can't manage the 6lb penalty and Dhahani improves again

 If only I stuck with the two horses I really liked at Meydan last week and sacked everything else off would have been a decent day with Silent Film 10/1 an agonising second and Star of Mystery 11/4 winning. Anyhow I punted on way too many 'on a whim' and lost more than needed to.

2.05 Meydan - Leaving

2.40 Meydan - Mr Kafoo will go close, but back in a handicap, back in a harder race and back out wide means 9/4 is way too short. If it hit 4/1 I'd be tempted on an ew. Taakeed another tempting ride but going left field...

Al Hadeer 28/1ew. Last twice over C&D had very wide trips. Went off 3/1 in the latter of those. Smaller field, and back to last winning mark and interesting (though speculative) the other Hyde runner is now a NR. Best horse at this distance, second best at Meydan and other than Almoreb and Miller's House best on dirt. 

3.15 Meydan - Saqqara King could have romped this but not going to make the cut :( 

Castlebar 50/1ew. Running in a G3 here at Meydan over 10f, coming 3rd to Royal Fleet and Star Safari. That form alone would put it over a stone in hand. Then ran over 2miles and poorly in Saudi. Ran it's usual crap first race of the season and if finds any previous form, has the plump draw and 100pc and over this distance is the best. Won over C&D off 3lb lower so can win if at best again. Guess the price is a worry, but lets see.

3.50 Meydan - Manama Gold Evs looks decent. A newcomer could easily pop up however.

4.25 Meydan - When I looked at this race few days ago I assumed Shining Jewel would be fave. No. It's 12/1. HMMMM. English Rose is odds on fave and faves farm this race. Do I back history. 

Shining Jewel 12/1ew

5.00 Meydan - Demain is interesting but wonder if needs a bit of ease in ground. All The Kings Men has been back from 12/1 into 3/1 in some places. HMMM. 

Al Salt 4/1ew. It's tough going ew on a 4/1, but too many risks, esp this Boughney horse that's been smashed in. Al Salt looks to have a couple lbs in hand here based on last run which manybe should have won. Certainly penalised like did given the 6lb rise

5.35 Meydan - Imperial Empire 11/2 ew. If back to form best handicapped over C&D. Ran best race for a while lto.

Wolves 215 - Eden Storm 10/1/ew (backed this on Thurs)

Wolves 325 - Catrake Force 12/1ew

Bets 12/01/2024

Could have absolutely cleaned up at Meydan last week with 9 of the 15 punts returning profit. Batwan turned out was drawn on the wrong side and Legend of Time overcame 13, so I really stuffed the draw adjustments. Anyway...

The hardest Meydan card I can remember. Silent Film I'm keen on with Star of Mystery. Gioia Ceica may make up a trixie, the rest a on a whim.

Backing big prices ews today by the looks of it!

Meydan 130 - Nothing I really like in this. None of these are decent 5f turf handicappers. Shamalaam and Many a Star are potentially the most likely but I'm having a wild punt on oldboy Rumasaat 33/1ew. Arguably the best handicapped on previous form. Last week the high draws were the place to be. 3 years ago would have beaten Equilateral over C&D in a handicap. Clearly not going to be as capable, but sod it, let's go.... NR

Meydan 1405 - Another race no real interest so another wild punt with Tactical Bound 18/1ew. 

Meydan 2.40 - Hmmm. Another race, another blow out for me. Nothing fits what I'd punt. The closest is Gioia Cieca 14/1ew but has no course form which always bugs me. This ran well a while back in the Cazzo handicap behind Modern News, which was 7f a quick ground. Won a c3 over 7f turf before being bought so assume M Al Mheri sees something.

Meydan 315 - This card in not fun. No bet.

Meydan 350 - Starlust is best at weights, but Star of Mystery 11/4 looks the best over 6f and of course has Buick onboard.

Meydan 425 - For The Top would win this. Oh wait NR. Kafoo 11/1 ew next on the list but hardly confident

Meydan 500 - Silent Film 10/1ew looks a decent ew here. Ursa Minor worries me the most

Meydan 535 - Worst race yet to try and work out. No bet.

Meydan 610 - I don't remember a card as bad as this from a having a hunch on a winner perspective. Lucius Tiberius 50/1ew gets a hugely tenative punt. If breaks well can get a place minumum.

 Oopps. Another stinker punting low level AW...

Meydan 1.30 - Local Dynasty 7/4 should win this. Hate backing faves here though. Could make a case for 3 or 4 others and perhaps Franz Kaftka 16s is the saver but a lot of risks attached with this and all the others. Appleby has  decent enough record in the race to hope LD can win this

Meydan 2.05 - Mr Kafoo has the draw to finally go an make all. Odds bit naff, but don't see much else in the field that could improve except Nyaar will sit off the lead and try to take it. Dobbs starting to hit form and arguably Nyaar ran a better race last time out carrying 9-11. Only unknown is Halucinogenie

Nyaar 3/1 win

Small cover Mr Kafoo/Nyaar f/c

Meydan 2.40 - Gutted Mcmanaman didn't make the cut, but Batwan 11/2 has no excuses not to win this today. Decent draw. Will need to make sure doesn't get caught to close to the rail and has room to challenge.

Meydan 3.15 - Nevershow Weakness 9/4 looks decent on the surface and whilst most likely winner I prefer the stablemate Green Jacket 9/1ew. Ran best race over C&D last year and is best handicapped in the race. Is a worry about current form but also took couple races to get going last year too. Wil cover both

Meydan 3.50 - Shamrock Glitter 8/1ew. Be keeping an eye on this one regardless of today. Half bro to Lord Glitters who won 3 Group races at Meydan. Legend of Time is the best horse in this race but I can't back him from that stall at only 13/8

Meydan 4.25 - Spent way too long trying to find a way to get Sound Money 5/2 beat. The beating of Isolate over C&D is difficult to beat. I really like both Leading Spirit 12/1 and Morning 18/1 so might find a way of backing all. The latter (Morning), we'll be seeing in bigger races maybe this season or next but needs to get stalls sorted.

Meydan 5.35 - Ma Yetal 10/11 looks class, but I hate races like this but this is a stone better than anything here a the weights on achievements to date

Meydan 6.10 - Trappy one this but if Marynder 18/1 is fit could outrun odds, otherwise safest to stick with an inform fit horse like Made in Dubai 11/2
