Big stakes should see a big performance from Zakiyyah!

The race off at 9:24 in England really should be something of a classic. £245 is up for grabs for this race alone and so some of the main owners on Getminted are out in force. I fancy Dallas 1’s Zakiyyah to win here at 6/1 and so do many of the other owners on the forums. This vastly experienced colt rarely runs on firm going but when he does it’s usually with some success.

Last time out he won on soft in Australia and showed good signs ahead of this race. Dallas cleverly rested him since that race back on the 31st of October and expect a powerful push by Zakiyyah this evening. At best a win at worst a placed finish I predict.

Snot gonna be too difficult for this dallas 1 horse!!

No it’s not a spelling error , the horse Im backing in the 8:36 is called ‘Sid Snot Licker’! and he reigns supreme in the Dallas1 stable. The odds are long at 24/1 because of his last performance when he finished 11th on fast. However deeper investigation would show form on fast for this 2 year old colt has always been poor. On muddy going which we will have this evening though things seem very different. Has won once and been placed on 5 trips out of 10 runs in total. Solid for a placed finish.

Grey Dawn II looking good for success in the 8:12 in Dubai.

At 34/1 the temptation to back Grey Dawn II is massive. A newcomer of sorts to Getminted this Glashieburn Don trained colt has progressed very nicely winning 4 and being placed in 4 of his 12 races to date. Not even two weeks old he has generated £175 so far for the stable, not bad going atall. In his last race Grey Dawn II won in stylish fashion on muddy ground in Dubai however it was a small field so that should be noted before putting your life savings on this fella! Hasn’t raced in almost a week so fitness levels should be high, the distance of 7 furlongs is perfect and so are this horses chances. Each way punt would be a wise option.
