Dubai World Cup Carnival Week 1 Tips January 6
The 2023 Dubai World Cup Carnival gets off to a flying start at Meydan on Friday. Two excellent Grade Two races, Al Maktoum Challenge R1 and Al Fahidi Fort feature on the card.
Godolphin and Charlie Appleby are going to dominate this meeting. William Buick will ride the talented but quirky Walk Of Stars. James Doyle's mount Dahaib won a handicap in his only start over this distance.
Desert Wisdom (NAP) is a horse that would have made a profit during the last Dubai World Cup Carnival. Desert Wisdom won the Group Three Burj Nahaar at 33/1 in March and the Godolphin Mile on Dubai's World Cups night at God Dolphin Mile.
Noble Truth is the favourite for the final graded race on Friday's card. Internationalangel is overpriced in the market. The mare has won twice before on the back of similar breaks.
ACKLAM EXPRESS is an outsider in the Dubai Dash. Nigel Tinkler's five-year-old has only been beaten a length in last two renewals of the Meydan Sprint. Acklam Express usually does his best work towards the start of his campaign.
