Geir Stabell runs the rule over the six races at Nad Al Sheba on Dubai World Cup night and picks out horses who are quite prominent in the betting but, in his opinion, have little or no chance of winning on Saturday.

| Godolphin Mile: Top stable double handed |
|
Nad Al Sheba Saturday: The ‘boys in blue’ will be sending out two runners in the first thoroughbred race on DWC night, as the evenly matched pair Elusive Warning, a North American import, goes with Blackat Blackitten, an English import, in the Godolphin Mile (G2).
Diamond Stripes, winner of the Meadowlands Cup (G3) last year, is joined from the USA by Barcola, while Hong Kong will be represented by Watch What Happens. That may be exactly what most punters will have to do, as predicting the outcome of this event is not so easy. One name does stick out though, so let’s see if we can get off to a flyer on the big day.
Full preview, selections & betting plan now posted.
3-1 WINNER! Globeform's DIAMOND STRIPES, and the 14-1 Exacta was also recomended!
Spring At Last was Globeform’s selection
in this race last year - Won at 7-1.

| World Cup day: Take this 33-1 horse right now! |
|
Nad Al Sheba: With only days to go before the big Dubai World Cup Day bookmakers have opened ante-post books on some of the championship events. Five races have now been priced up and four horses in particular stick out as way too big on these lists, including a live 33-1 shot. Take that price today, it is way too big and unlikely to last.

| Diabolical – Godolphin’s new sprint star |
|
By a world class sprinter, out of a daughter of a world class sprinter, this horse certainly has the pedigree to be one himself.
Diabolical, one of the best young speed merchants in North America last year, is now with the powerful Godolphin stable. He prepped for the Golden Shaheen (G1) with an easy and visually impressive win over course and distance on Super Thursday.

| Dubai Duty Free: Ramonti out, Literato switched |
|
Nad Al Sheba Saturday: Godolphin have been forced to take Ramonti out of the Dubai Duty Free (G1) on Saturday but they have switched Literato to this contest, as West Wind makes the opposite switch and runs in the Sheema Classic.
This turf race will be top class. Japan will be represented by the classic winning filly Vodka, as well as the recent Group One winner Admire Aura and top class European fillies Darjina and Finsceal Beo are also set to go. What a race!
Admire Moon was Globeform's selection
in this race last year - Won at 11-2.
