Meydan Race 3-
K.I.S.S. #5- Cinderella's Dream (4-5) won a maiden on debut last May, then went to the sidelines, returning in September to take a novice race at Thirsk. Pretty humble beginnings for a Godolphin runner, but assuming Appleby wouldn't have brought her here if she wasn't on the upswing. Not a lock though.
TRI- 5/1,4,9/ALL

The slipper fit perfectly on Cinderella's Dream which showed an impressive turn of foot when asked, instantly drawing away from the field. She'll likely run back in the Jumeirah 1000 Guineas (Listed) on Super Saturday, following in the footsteps of Mawj which won both races last year.
Meydan Race 5-
#5- Mischief Magic may well continue Charlie Appleby's impressive run of seven consecutive wins at Meydan over the last three weeks, but if he goes off at anything less than 2-1 he's a big bet-against in my opinion. With 11 MTP he's 1-2 which is ridiculous when you consider that he ran fourth here last time behind lesser foes. Contrarian play.
EXBOX- 4,7,11,12

Taking a shot with WALBANK in the 5th And saving underneath the Appleby chalk with all 3rd in the tri ———- That didn’t go well…

Meydan Race 6-
K.I.S.S. (again) TRI- 3/1,2,4,5,8/1,2,4,5,8
Meydan Race 7-
#11- Falsehood (10-1) has improved since joining the Al Mheiri yard, ran well when fresh last season. May be best at a mile, and PP10 doesn't help, but he could be sent to the front and surprise this modest group.
WIN- 11
Meydan Race 8-
#4- Legend Of Time (1-2) should handle this field with even marginal improvement off his Trial win.
TRI- 4/1,5,6/1,5,6
Meydan Race 9-
The more fancied runners have drawn wide, so let's take a stab with #13- Laser Guided (7-1) under Saffie Osborne, which has been a progressive handicapper for the Crisfords and ran a good second here two weeks ago.
WIN- 13

TW, boss thinks Shamrock Glitter will be better on dirt. Graffard didn't want to try it but keep an eye out soon for that move.
