Meydan Carnival Week Seven (Fri 17th Feb 2023)

Meydan Carnival Week Seven ,couple interesting races this week at Meydan with the three feature races.G3 UAE Oaks ,G3 Nad Al Sheba Trophy & G3 Dubai Millennium Stakes .

Quick recap on last weeks action ,just the one bet. I Am Superman in 7f listed race,though could never really land a blow finishing never nearer fourth.

Bit disappoing having been dropped in class ,though seem get too far behind,before staying on in closing stages. Loss £100/1.00PT .

JBB FORM RATINGS :

 

1)ARDAKAN (109) (2) SISKANY (108) (3) AWAY HE GOES (105)

 

The 2022 Italian Derby winner ARDAKAN looks solid after finishing promising third in the Al Khail Trophy listed contest over C/D at Meydan last month, on his first start for Marco Botti.Had some decent form in Germany last season ,including finishing 2L third to Breeders Cup Turf winner Rebels Romance in group one company .Should come on for that first run of the season and receives handy 5lb from his main rivals .Odds around 4-1 look fair each-way value ,especially with SKYBET paying 5 places .

 

Siskany looks the obvious danger on the pick last seasons form ,including bolting up by 5L over C/D in Al Khail Trophy at Meydan .Also won 12f listed race at Newmarket in good style in September .Should go well if fully wound up on his reappearance,though odds around 6-4 look poor value in this 14 runner contest.

 

Of the others Away He Goes has place claims ,having finished second in Al Khail Trophy last month, though not easy to win with ,not won since September 2020 .Should be thereabouts though has to break 13 race losing run .
