3.45 Meydan Bridge of gold looked a real smart prospect at lingfield last month and second Baylini has gone on to win since, aswell as full toss running well too and winning and also Vainglory going on to win. Hanagan rides again today and looks open to plenty more improvement and handles the surface. 1pt win bridge of gold

Re: Meydan 11th Feb My selections for Meydan. 14.30 4 Men Conditions Stakes (AWT) (3YO only) 7f Godolphin come in to this well handed with five contenders.the best of these look Mendip who was seen winning his maiden at Kempton back in September last year when beating Musaafer by a comfortable two and a quarter lengths over 8f.the runner up went on to win next time out at Pontefract when beating Finest Reserve before going on to finish ninth in the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy. The second string in this for the team looks Fareej who has coming into this unbeaten and won going away at Lingfield when beating Business as Usual by two and a quarter lengths and looks the threat to the selection. If there is any chink in the Godolphin's armour here it could come from the Al Raihe trained Happy Dubai.is adapting to the AW for the first time but was a convincing winner last time on turf when beating Cash Queen Anna at Redcar back in September. Mendip : 1pt Win Alt : Happy Dubai : 1/2pt e/w 15.05 Aquarius Handicap (AWT) (3YO plus) 7f Luca Cumani's Swop was backed to win here two weeks ago and had no luck in running when finishing a fast finishing third and will come on for this run and feel is the one to beat in this. An alternative against the selection could be Otarred who steps back in to handicap company here and could have big place claims.He had no where to go on the rails when attempting a run and faded back in to fifth but back in this company is one that has a chance at a price. Swop : 1pt Win Alt : Otarred : 1/2pt e/w 15.45 Inside Out Handicap (AWT) (3YO plus) 1m 3f I would give Mark Johnston's Record Breaker a chance here if bouncing back from a disappointing run here last week but that was over three furlongs further than todays trip.Is making his AW debut here today and was a winner over 12f at Ascot last September in convincing style and interesting if they adapt the same riding style and hold up the horse and should be staying on here. Another one that has to be taken with respect is Richard Hills mount on Monte Alto.Who looked to have the race won in the final furlong when swamped late by Anmar and Emeralds Champion, has every chance again to be in the mix here. Monte Alto : 1pt Win Alt : Record Breaker : 1/2pt e/w 16.20 Wheels Handicap (AWT) (3YO plus) 1m 2f Mike De Kocks Lizard Desire showed a good injection of speed to pull away from his rivals two weeks ago when winning by two and a half lengths and had the trainers second string King of Rome cooked.i would say this is my banker of the day and will be hard to turn over in this. Lizard's Desire : 3pt Win (Nap) 17.05 UAE 1000 Guineas Sponsored By Gulf News (Fillies' Listed) 1m Raihana could give Mike De Kock a quick fore double here, was seen beating Talenta (back in 5th) by nine lengths here over 7f last week and despite having to concede the 7lb back here still holds the latter well. At a price Robert Ingram's Silver Grey could come on for the run here behind Raihana and Waasemah last week and despite not best off the weigths with the runner up that day would of needed the run and should make another good account here. Raihana : 2pt Win Alt : Silver Grey : 1/2pt e/w 5.40 Al Shindagha Sprint Sponsored By XPRESS (Group 3) 6f Star Crowned will make this a reasonable clip from the front end and could set this up for a fast finisher from i feel a wide draw.Richard Hills gets the nod on Doug Watson's Musaalem who looked to have the race won two weeks ago until Sir Gerry made a blistering appeal to get up on the line.the selection was conceding 1lb in the weigths that day and meet off level weigths here this evening. Musaalem : 1pt Win 18.15 GNAds4U (Handicap) (Turf) (3yo+ 100-119) 1m 4f 93y Godolphin's Claremont was last seen winning the Group 3 Prix du Lys at Chantilly over 12f back in June last year.will have to step up here to get involved after the lengthly lay off but has place claims under young Ajtebi. The likely winner i feel could be Mich Channon's Halicarnassus who showed a good second to Whispering Gallery by three and a half lengths over 10f here two weeks ago.Will be better suited by the extended 12f trip here this evening. Hallicarnassus : 1pt Win Alt : Claremont : 1/2pt e/w
