Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted yesterday at 08:03 AM Journalists Share Posted yesterday at 08:03 AM What Dubai World Cup Night 2025 Where Dubai Racing Club – Al Meydan Rd, Dubai – United Arab Emirates When Saturday, April 5, 2025 First Race 4:35pm DST (11:35pm AEDT) Visit Dabble The 2025 Dubai World Cup attracts the world’s best to compete on a stacked nine-part program at Meydan Racecourse on Saturday evening, with a mix of features to be run on all-weather and turf courses. The rail is in the true position throughout the entire circuit, and with pristine conditions forecast leading into the weekend, punters can expect a genuine Good 4 surface. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 4:35pm local time. Check out HorseBetting.com.au’s best bets for the Dubai World Cup meeting down below. Dubai World Cup Tip: Forever Young Forever Young continues to build a formidable record, only suffering defeat twice in his 10-start career. The son of Real Steel surged past Romantic Warrior in a ding-dong battle to claim the worlds’ richest race on dirt, getting the head down where it matters most in the Group 1 Saudi Cup (1800m) at Riyadh on February 22. He should only improve stepping out to 2000m, and with trainer Yoshito Yahagi knowing what it takes to win on the world stage, expect the Dubai World Cup to return to Japan for the second time in three years. Dubai World Cup Race 9 – #1 Forever Young (5) 4yo Colt | T: Yoshito Yahagi | J: Ryusei Sakai (57kg) Dubai Sheema Classic Tip: Calandagan Calandagan is yet to taste Group 1 success in his eight-start career but appears poised to strike in the Group 1 Sheema Classic (2400m). The son of Gleneagles closed on the heels of City Of Troy in the Group 1 Juddmonte Stakes (2056m) first-up last preparation and was subsequently luckless in the Group 1 Champion Stakes (2000m) at Ascot on October 29 before heading to the paddock. The Aga Khan gelding has been targeted for this race ever since, and with Mickael Barzalona set to get the one-one from gate two, Calandagan should get every chance to claim the 2025 Sheema Classic. Dubai Sheema Classic Race 8 – #5 Calandagan (2) 4yo Gelding | T: Francis-Henri Graffard | J: Mickael Barzalona (57kg) Dubai Turf Tip: Romantic Warrior Romantic Warrior and James McDonald reunite to take on the world in the Group 1 Dubai Turf (1800m). The Hong Kong superstar lost no admirers suffering defeat in the Group 1 Saudi Cup (1800m), where the son of Acclamation acquitted himself well racing on the dirt for the first time. He gets back to the same course and distance where he dispatched his rivals in the Group 1 Jebel Hatta (1800m) on January 25, and provided he can replicate that performance, Romantic Warrior should have no issues justifying the short price with horse racing bookmakers. Dubai Turf Race 7 – #8 Romantic Warrior (9) 7yo Gelding | T: Frankie Lor | J: James McDonald (57kg) Best Bet at Meydan: Howdeepisyourlove Howdeepisyourlove makes the journey across from Hong Kong to contest the Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint (1200m), and the John Size-trained gelding should take a power of beating. His form-lines behind the worlds’ best sprinter Ka Ying Rising jump off the page compared to some key rivals, with the son of Deep Field running into the minor money on back-to-back occasions. He’s been tested down a straight which is a bonus, and with James McDonald set to be legged aboard, Howdeepisyourlove is a deserving favourite with in the 2025 Al Quoz Sprint. Best Bet Race 4 – #3 Howdeepisyourlove (9) 6yo Gelding | T: John Size | J: James McDonald (59.5kg) Next Best at Meydan: Trawlerman The John & Thady Gosden-trained Trawlerman brings elite staying form-lines to the Group 2 Dubai Gold Cup (3200m) and must be considered a major player despite being first-up from a six-month break. The son of Golden Horn was sensational finishing third in this event last year, with only Tower Of London and race rival Al Nayyir getting the better of him in a fast-run race. Trawlerman has matched motors with Kyprios in the past, and if he brings an ounce of that form into this, the $5.50 with is good value. Next Best Race 2 – #8 Trawlerman (3) 7yo Gelding | T: John & Thady Gosden | J: William Buick (58.5kg) Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
