The Kahayla Classic has been won by horses owned by Sheikh Hamdan for the last three years, and this year looks like it\u2019s going to be more of the same. He owns four of the 11 starters and, on ratings, this should be a one horse race. That one horse is Madjani (FR)<\/B>, lat year\u2019s winner. At 122, he is rated a full 12 points clear of the next best runner. He\u2019s won eight of nine starts and finished second in the other. He\u2019s won all four of his most recent starts, three of those Gr1\u2019s and the latest by 13 lengths.<\/P> Possible contenders must include Amperor Des Cedres (FR).<\/B> He\u2019s won his last four races, from only five career starts, and is rated 107. Arsene Rupin (FR)<\/B> has won five from seven, the latest a Gr2 by 10 lengths, is a Gr1 winner and rated 100. He hasn\u2019t raced since October, however. Charh (GB),<\/B> rated 105, has been running over shorter but has been putting up decent performances in weaker company in The balance can only be racing for minor money in this lineup and Madjani (FR)<\/B> is a confident selection.<\/P> Godolphin Mile \u2013 GR2 D8F\/1600M – $1m Last years winning trainer\/jockey combination, South African\u2019s Mike De Kock and Weichong Marwing, return for another crack at the Godolphin Mile, this time with Lundy\u2019s Liability (BRZ),<\/B> winner of the 2004 UAE Derby. Unfortunately, after a successful four race stint in the USA where he won two Gr2\u2019s, Lundy\u2019s Liability (BRZ)<\/B> ran a distant seventh in the World Cup and hasn\u2019t shown his old form in his three Dubai starts this season. On recent form, and his current rating of 108, he looks well held by the likes of Jack Sullivan (USA)<\/B> and Blatant (GB).<\/B><\/P> Blatant (GB),<\/B> rated 118, was beaten a length by Jack Sullivan (USA),<\/B> rated 115, last time out over 1800 metres in a Gr3 in Dubai. In his previous start, Blatant (GB)<\/B> won a Gr3 over a mile by almost 10 lengths. On a line through their defeats of Lundy\u2019s Liability (BRZ),<\/B> Jack Sullivan ( Court Masterpiece (GB),<\/B> rated 113, has consistent recent form on turf including a narrow Gr1 victory over 1400 metres in October. He must be a contender if he can reproduce that form on dirt. Holiday Camp (USA)<\/B> is only a two time winner from 11 starts with a 107 rating, but his good third in a Gr2 last time must give him a chance. Marbush (IRE),<\/B> rated 113, has been in very good form in Shamoan (IRE)<\/B> is a two time winner from 15 starts with a 109 rating and looks to have some work to do to score here. Utopia (JPN)<\/B> has a good record of 7 wins from 30 starts and a 113 rating but has modest recent form compared to others here. Island Fashion (USA) <\/B>is the only mare in the field. Her recent form in the This looks like it\u2019s going to be a closely fought affair. I\u2019ll go for Marbush (IRE)<\/B> to win it from Jack Sullivan (USA)<\/B> and Blatant (GB). UAE The lineup for this year\u2019s derby is impressive and it seems a pity that it isn\u2019t rated as a Gr1. The international credentials on show here are impeccable.<\/P> Dominguin (PER),<\/B> rated 101, is unbeaten in five starts and has won his last four by 8, 19, 10 and 5 lengths. The last of those was a Gr3. Gaburin (AUS)<\/B> has won his last two starts well, but may actually a little outclassed here off his 100 rating. Gold For Sale (ARG),<\/B> rated 110, is unbeaten in six starts. Those included a Gr3 in Jackson (BRZ),<\/B> rated 101, finished third in a Gr1 in November but is well held by Simpatico Bribon (CHI)<\/B> on their meeting in a Gr3 in Simpatico Bribon (CHI),<\/B> has won seven from nine and is rated a massive 120. He beat Where\u2019s That Tiger (USA)<\/B> by six lengths last time out while giving him 7 kilograms. Discreet Cat ( Flamme De Passion (JPN),<\/B> rated 106, has won three from five, including two easy dirt victories at his last two visits to a track. Testimony (USA)<\/B> is Godolphin\u2019s second string here and looks outclassed off his 95 rating. Unification (CAN),<\/B> rated 102, won two of his first three starts but then came up against Gold For Sale (ARG)<\/B> and Simpatico Bribon (CHI) <\/B>who soundly beat him by 8 and 11 lengths respectively. Well Armed (USA)<\/B> looks to have some work to do off his 100 rating, having beaten Testimony (USA)<\/B> by 3.50 lengths before finishing 16 lengths behind Gold For \u00a0<\/P> It\u2019s difficult to compare the form of Dominguin (PER)<\/B> and Invasor (ARG)<\/B> with the big guns, and Discreet Cat (USA)<\/B> could be good enough to go for the Kentucky Derby after this race as his connections hope, but I can\u2019t select anything here other than Simpatico Bribon (CHI) <\/B>to win from Gold For Sale (ARG),<\/B> both trained by Ian Jory.<\/P> A large field of 16 lines up for the sprint and it\u2019s a highly competitive bunch with their ratings ranging from 104 to 115. I\u2019ll try to pick out the main contenders.<\/P> Captain Square ( Heart Alone (BRZ) <\/B>has the top rating here after comfortably dispatching Conroy (USA),<\/B> rated 104, last time out while giving him weight. He could be the one to beat, but I suspect that Proud Tower Too (USA)<\/B> is not going to go down without a fight. Having gone down by only a length to The Sheema Classic is the first of the two joint richest turf races in the world on the Dubai World Cup card. Fourteen top class runners line up here, rated 110 and above. Three are rated 122 and the brilliant mare Ouija Board (GB)<\/B> is not one of those. At 117, she is ranked only 5th<\/SUP> in this strong field, despite her Gr1 victory at Sha-Tin last time out.<\/P> Heart\u2019s Cry (JPN), Norse Dancer (IRE)<\/B> and Relaxed Gesture (IRE<\/B>) are the three top rated runners. Heart\u2019s Cry (JPN)<\/B> narrowly won a listed race in Next up is Alexander Goldrun (IRE)<\/B> at 119, the other mare in the field. In September, she was narrowly beaten by Oratorio but has failed to follow up that good performance more recently. The ones to beat here seem to be Heart\u2019s Cry (JPN),<\/B> Relaxed Gesture (IRE)<\/B> and Ouija Board (GB) <\/B>but my heart will be with Greys Inn (USA)<\/B> and Oracle West (SAF). The second of the $5m turf races is another high quality and competitive event with the 16 runners rated 112 to 123. One of the drawcards for the event is what appears to be a world first: Perfect Promise (SAF)<\/B> and Irridiscence (SAF)<\/B> could be the first full sisters to compete in a Gr1 event, and they are the only two fillies in the race.<\/P> Perfect Promise (SAF),<\/B> rated 112, recently became the first South African bred horse to win a Gr1 in
