Default Dubai, Fl Derby, & Magna 5

Dubai World Cup

Race 2 - Godolphin Mile

#3 Dixie Meister - Canani runner is coming in off a victory in the G2 San Pasqual at Santa Anita. The 5yr old gelding has been very consistent for his new barn.

#12 Spring At Last - This mile distance seems to be his best. He's been coming up a little short going further and runs out of real estate in shorter races. Won

Race 3 - UAE Derby

#4 Day Pass - Interesting to see how the G3 Nashua winner will bounce back from dull effort.

#11 Folk - Godolphin filly is 2 for 2 since arriving at the Nad Al Sheeba track.

Race 4 - Dubai Golden Shaheen

#8 Friendly Island -He's in very good form and has the right running style to get it done here. 2nd

Race 5 - Dubai Sheema Classic

#5 Red Rocks - BC Turf winner picks up Nak as he tries to validate BC performance.

Race 6 - Dubai Duty Free

#3 Stormy River (FR) - Classy grey won a Group 1 last summer and should be a handful here.

Race 7 - World Cup

#1 Discreet Cat - Connections have always done right by this horse and there is no reason to think that he's not 100%. He's a beast and I believe that he'll get the jump on Invasor and not look back. ?

#7 Invasor - Outstanding Champion looks to revenge his only loss. The Best

I would love to see a Ding/Dong stretch drive where the whips are cracking and the hearts are pounding.

Magna 5

Leg A - Laurel R9

#3 Power Du Jour - Best races have come on the turf and the price will be right. 2nd by 1/2 length at 22-1 ouch
#4 Clever Clover - Probable favorite has 2 wins and 2 2nds in last 4 starts.
#6 Hanalei Bay - Will need to step it up.
#9 Little Gaby - Has won off a break and has 2 wins on the Laurel Lawn.

Leg B - Gulfstream R10 - G3 Skip Away

#3 A P Arrow - Simply the class of the field. Won

Leg C - Santa Anita - R4 - G3 Tokyo City

#2 Fairbanks - Lost all chance early in the G2 San Antonio, expect better effort. Won

#5 Preachinatthebar - Defending champion is the only graded stakes winner in the field.

#6 Racketeer - All 3 career wins have been on the SA surface.

Leg D - Gulfstream - R11 - G1 Florida Derby

#3 Scat Daddy - You won't get the value, but you must respect vs. these. Won

#6 Chelokee - Matz runner needs a big performance and he's capable of it.

Leg E - Santa Anita - R5

#1 Miss Silver Image - Like the speed in the inside.

#11 Run for Dessert - Capable on best.

#12 Unusual Spring - Likely favorite has 3 wins on the downhill course. Won

Magna 5 - 3 4 6 9 with 3 with 2 5 6 with 3 6 with 1 11 12 = $144

Gulfstream Park

R11 - G1 Florida Derby

#1 Notional - Cal Bred has proven he can ship and win. Tough post.

#2 Imawildandcrazyguy - Closer needs to be used underneath.

#3 Scat Daddy - He brings it every time out. Will benefit from a speed duel.

#4 Adore the Gold - Huge effort in the FOY. Will he improve or bounce?

#5 Stormello - Gutsy on the front end, but seems Victor will have to cut more reasonable fractions.

#6 Chelokee - Matz runner is 2 for 2 going two turns. Definitely the wild card in this field.

#7 Boogie Boggs - Tries two turns and stakes company for the 1st time. Pass

#8 Johannesburg Star - Will need a better start to be a factor.

#9 Birdbirdistheword - Bad post, but should improve off last race for McPeek.

Selections

#3 Scat Daddy Won
#6 Chelokee 3rd
#2 Imawildandcrazyguy
#4 Adore the Gold

Race 12

#9 Saoire Cat - Absolutely missed the break in last and still managed to finish well. For those playing multi-race wagers. SINGLE

Good Racing Luck
