Dubai World Cup: California Chrome
It is impossible to say whether California Chrome will get back to his absolute best but if he does, well, the others are probably running for second…
Kahayla Classic: Versac Py
Last year, Versac Py won the Al Maktoum Challenge Round 3, beating Af Lafeh by 3¼ lengths over 2,000 metres. It was another classy performance by Versac Py, and a return to such form would put this nine-year-old in the mix on World Cup night
Godolphin Mile: Sloane Avenue
The runner-up in last year’s Godolphin Mile might just go the distance this year
Dubai Gold Cup: Star Empire
He was third and second in the last two editions of the race. Third time lucky?
Al Quoz Sprint: Ertijaal (IRE)
The best turf sprinter seen in action in Dubai this winter has what it takes to beat the competition
UAE Derby: Polar River
This Doug Watson-trained filly took Meydan by storm with some amazing wins at the Carnival. Polar River might just have something special for us
Golden Shaheen: Rich Tapestry
The 2014 runner-up comes on the back of a solid win at the Al Shindagha Sprint in February and is a favourite this year
Dubai Turf: Tryster
Coming off two explosive wins over this turf course, Tryster might be the main danger to the competition in the Dubai Turf
Sheema Classic: Postponed
The winner of the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot in July last year stands a good chance of making a favourable impression
