The 2K to 10K Betting challenge continues on Saturday from Meydan .

Saturday see's the start of the flat turf season from Doncaster,though going concentrate on the high quality World Cup card from Meydan,with the 9f G1 Dubai Turf at 3.20 the main interest .

13 runners declared for 2.8 Million Dubai Turf over 9f on ground described as good .The three main contenders look to be Dream Castle , Vivios & Almond Eye


DREAM CASTLE : 5-Y-0 Bay Gelding ,winning 4 out 13 .Has looked different horse this season since being gelded ,winning 3 out 3 over C&D at Meydan,including winning the G1 Jebel Hatta at Meydan earlier this month ,beating Wotton in good style .Should go well with ideal conditions .

ALMOND EYE : 4-Y-0 Japanese Bay Filly ,winning 6 out 7.Has looked very useful filly landing four group one races ,including winning Japan Cup at Toyko in November in impressive style  .Interesting contender ,though drop in trip may not be ideal .

VERDICT : Top class Japanese filly Almond Eye is clearly the one beat, being 7lb clear on official ratings,though is taking big drop in trip ,having won the Japan Cup over 12 furlongs last time.Has to be respected,though odds around even money look short enough ,returning from 4 month break over this shorter trip .

DREAM CASTLE  has done nothing wrong this season ,winning 3 out 3 over C&D at Meydan ,including winning the group one Jebel Hatta earlier this month.Looks very well suited to this 9 furlong trip at Meydan .Odds around 4-1 look solid e-w value against the short price favourite .

Raucous looks the main danger ,finishing just behind Gulliver last time at Lingfield ,should come on for that race,first run for 7 months,though maybe a shade high in weights ,9lb higher than last victory .

The Betting Bankroll stands at £2664 (+£664) ,after Merhoob finished close nose second in 6f handicap at Lingfield on Saturday .

VERDICT : SANAADH should go well returning to this more suitable trip,only 2lb higher than when winning class two handicap over C&D at Newcastle in December.Shaped with plenty of promise over 6f at Wolverhampton last time (staying on nicely at finish) .Also looks open to further improvement on All Weather after just two starts .Odds around 13-2 look very fair e-way value .

Pinnata looks main danger,has been in excellent form this winter,including winning over C&D at Newcastle last time ,though has taken big hike in the weights.Going up 19lb since November .

Keyser Soze has been put in strong favourite ,after landing two handicaps at Lingfield,though will still need career best, off mark 101 to land this stronger handicap .Odds around 2-1 make little appeal on tapeta debut .
