Super Saturday reflections: key pointers to take out for Dubai World Cup night

Meydan hosts the Dubai World Cup meeting this month. Super Saturday is the big trials day ahead of the tournament on March 30.

Drafted and Comicas are Golden Shaheen players. Drafted has the same late-running style as Mind Your Biscuits. Comica came fourth in the Shahen after a four-month break. Blue Point looked good at Meydan on Saturday.

Divine Image and Blue Point are the favourites for the Dubai Derby. Only three of 14 runners in the Al Bastakiya were fillies. Blue point did well in his preparation for Al Quoz Sprint.

Muntazah was sensational on Saturday. Heavy Metal finished fourth. Muntazaah will defend his Godolphin Mile title. Dubai World Cup is in three weeks. The connections must decide whether to play safe and go for the God Dolphin Mile or take a shot at the Dubai Cup.

Old Persian is a strong contender for the Sheema Classic. He won a dual Group 2 race in Britain last year and added another at Meydan in Dubai City Of Gold. His trainer Charlie Appleby won the same race with Hawkbill last season.

Capezzano booked his ticket for the Dubai World Cup by winning Saturday's course-and-distance Group 1. North America's connections will have to deal with competition for top spot in the main event. Last year's World Champion Thunder Snow finished second. He was off for four months and he tired off the pace.
