Not a great card today, but we have 3 weeks in a row now and the 19th will be decent.
1.30 - Union Security is probably going to be too good for these, but Na Eem did nothing for the form and with a wide draw maybe worth considering something else. Shayesh should not be shorter than Spacetown on formlines (including trials). Al Khawanej interesting on paper with new sire 1/1 at Meydan with 2years olds. Uncle Timo also interesting, but will play half stakes on bottom two in market.
Al Khawaneej 22/1 0.25pts ew
Spacetown 14/1 0.25pts ew
2.05 - Ruler of Time should win, but not backing at 4/6 as can make a case for a lot of these.
No bet.
2.40 - El Barreeq my pick is a NR. Welcome Dream and Sir Harmony are going to set the pace and hopefully ruin both their chances and set it up for Barq Al Emarat. Needed the first run last year and hopefully is now spot on for today.
Barq Al Emrat 17/2 0.5pts ew
3.15 - Super competitive this. Gray Boss is tracked and well handicapped and likely progressive. Norato won really well last time. Military Artist bounced back to form last time out and if can resume progress and acheive marks from couple years back can win this. Fresu onboard this time and worth a pop at reversing with Norato. If Al Jadaf was drawn better may have picked this instead.
Military Artist 13/2 0.5pts ew (4p)
3.50 - All the ones I like at a value price are drawn. Gorak going to burst out of stall 1 and try to make all, but no idea if will take to the surface. Horses I like are drawn 3 widest, 9, 10 and 11 so just going to leave the race. If there's a horse here who bounces back to form and could win it's Freedom Fighter 22s
No bet.
4.25 - Dark Saffron best horse, but 3year old with a penalty against elders not ideal.
No bet.
5.00 - Today could be Book Review's day. No pace drawn inside so can get to the front. Most of the horses are hold up horses. The two dangers to this is first the jockey. Can he perfect the burn the field without burning the horse. Let's find out. Second Silent Age. Drawn 1 and has gone fwd before, just not last couple runs. I'm sure jockey will be instructed to go fwd looking the race.
Book Review 20/1 0.5pts ew (4p)
Silent Age 10/1 0.5pts ew (4p)
5.35 - Honest Moon best horse in race and assume will try to make all. Odd Conor not picked this one though.
Honest Moon 11/2 0.5pts ew
Accas played
Barq Al Emarat Top 4, Book Review Top 7, Military Artist Top 7 5/1 0.5pt win
Barq Al Emarat, Book Review, Military Artist 0.1pt ew trixie (0.8pts total)
