Meydan Race 8 - Race 8 - Binghatti Handicap - Dirt
SHAQ DIESEL (1) Finished 7th last start here. Should improve here. Shows very good finishing speed. Goes very close. DIAMOND DEALER (3) Finished on top last run at this track and ideal trip as proven previously. Going well this preparation. Winnable race. JOLLY ROGER (6) Finished 2nd last time at this venue but matched against a stronger field. Should be swooping on the field late. In strong racing shape this preparation. In the mix. LOCAL DYNASTY (2) Not up to scratch when 9th last run at Jebel Ali but drawn nicely. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Carrying more weight than last time. Must respect in this event.

Started at $4.33 and came in 7th last start around here. Should improve here. Has a great burst of speed late. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Started $6.50 and unimpressive effort when 9th last run at Jebel Ali but has a positive stall. Has early speed and positions nicely. Will have to carry more weight. Definitely worth considering.
