Meydan Race 7

Dubai Turf Sponsored By Dp World (Group 1) - Turf

Stake: $2,391,304

ROMANTIC WARRIOR (8) was so game in defeat in the Saudi Cup last start when finishing runner-up behind another champion, after hitting the front a long way out. He is back to his preferred turf surface and is looking to make an immediate return to the winners' circle here. LIBERTY ISLAND (11) was placed in her only start here last year over 2410m and is coming into this on the fresh side after finishing runner-up in the Hong Kong Cup in early December. She has a brilliant record fresh up at the highest level, and will give the top pick something to think about. NATIONS PRIDE (7) looked back to his brilliant best when scoring here at G2 level 5 weeks ago by over a length. He will need to produce a similar effort to be competitive in this, but would not be a shock winner. SOUL RUSH (9) was a game third as favourite in the Nakayama Kinen at G2 level last start. He never lets anyone down. Include. FACTEUR CHEVAL (1) always has a place chance at this level. Include in all combinations.
