It's looking increasingly awkward for harness clubs, re grass track racing, Hawera may lose end of Jan dates, Otaki and Hawera now possibly same days as Marlbourough nterestingly they now are thinking most Southern meetings in Spring autumn and Winter now moving to Sundays, seems to me the guys setting dates are just clutching at straws as it's only since Xmas has Sunday have the busier days so how will they know if they are financially successful, will they ever settle or just keep guessing ? -

A select field of five, anchored by Godolphin's GI Belmont Oaks Invitational Stakes heroine Cinderella's Dream (GB) (Shamardal), lines up in the 1800-metre G2 Balanchine on grass, the cornerstone of the Meydan programme on Friday. The GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf second will attempt to give trainer Charlie Appleby his seventh consecutive winner of the Balanchine. “We gave Cinderella's Dream a little break following the Breeders' Cup and she looks fresh and well,” said Appleby of the GII Saratoga Oaks Invitational Stakes victress. “This will be her only start in Dubai before we look at taking her back out to North America for the summer. She isn't finely tuned for this, as it's the start of hopefully another long campaign, but her preparation has gone well and she looks a worthy favourite.” Her main rival is last out G2 Cape Verdi heroine Choisya (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), who is trained by the father-and-son duo of Simon and Ed Crisford. “We're really pleased with the way Choisya has been training out here in Dubai,” said co-trainer Ed Crisford. “She won the Cape Verdi in good style and I think if she can progress again she'll be very competitive.” Oaks Points On The Table The Balanchine is one of a quartet of black-type races on a busy Friday in the UAE, and the G3 UAE Oaks offers the winner a free berth in the GI Kentucky Oaks on the first Friday in May. Worth 50 'Road to the Kentucky Oaks' points, the 1900-metre dirt race features eight fillies, with the Norwegian-trained Queen Azteca (Sharp Azteca) tops on ratings for trainer Niels Petersen. A winner at Jagersro in Sweden earlier in her career, the filly ran second to Flama Sunshine (Flameaway) in a 1400-metre conditions affair locally in December, but rebounded to take the 1600-metre Cocoa Beach Stakes (Cond.) here over Taswaheen (Mendelssohn) and Arigatou Gozaimasu (Honest Mischief) last month. “Queen Azteca has come on for the race and will benefit from a little bit further,” said Petersen. “The opposition will be pretty much the same, so of course we are optimistic, but most importantly the filly just looks like she's getting better and better. “It's a big race for us, coming here for so many years, it means a lot to us if we're able to pull this one off, because we know it's very difficult to win here.” Also on the undercard are the G2 Nad Al Sheba Trophy, a qualifier for the G2 Dubai Gold Cup in April, and the Listed Al Bastakiya over the course and distance of the G2 UAE Derby, also on Dubai World Cup night. The Listed Al Khail Trophy one-two of Keffaaf (GB) (Adlerflug {Ger}) and King Of Conquest (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) vie in the former, while G3 UAE 2000 Guineas runner-up Heart Of Honor (GB) (Honor A.P.) faces 15 in the latter contest and leaves from the rail.
