Dubai Carnival

This De Kock...Soumillion team...very very lucky....()

2 from 3 tonite MDK (tu)

Best I don't post any Dubai selections. Woeful tonight!

well done mdk.he is very good and he has 1 of the 3 best jockeys in the world as his stable jock.brilliant ride by soumillon to win the last.

Most of us have followed Dubai carnival for a few years now and I found it difficult to catch the right horses on the right nights!
A useful pattern I picked up though, is that because so many runners are aiming only at the big night, a lot of runs are prep runs(last year some were very obvious) so horses that are running in lead up races and which still need to qualify, tend to be good to follow!

I know its early days, but does anyone have any idea which MDK horse has a chance2 be in the WorldCup race, he didn't have a runner las year

Sheza,VC ran second in the Cape derby,so maybe with age?

Boet that was my 1st thought when I posted the question, but wasn't too sure.
Let's not forget VC ran 2 Lengths behind Jackson, BUT 3.75L ahead of the 3rd horse Tribal Dance(who stays 2000m with ease as he won from 1800-2400m) as well he had 2days dubai winner Mushreq well beaten on that day as well.

I think it wouldn't be far of 2 see VC take his place in that race, but who knows what MDK has up his sleaves.

Vercingetorix also comes to mind

De Kock is world class and watch his SA string, they're just showing signs of hitting top form again.....(tu)

Shez, i heard MDK say on tv yesterday that Vercingetorix travelled the worst of all the horses.......so i would watch this one first.......altho a very smart horse

If Journeyman is racing fit, he is the one to be with in race 4.
