Meg Nicholls Racing Preview: Doncaster, Kempton & Meydan Tips
SATURDAY RACING TIPS
Doncaster 2.57 – Listed Doncaster Mile
Docklands (6/4 fav) looks a solid market leader here.
He’s a very smart miler on his day and showed that when recording his first success at the highest level in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot last summer.
He ended last year’s campaign with a creditable fourth of 14 in the Hong Kong Mile and he sets the standard.
Megan’s Tip: Docklands WIN
Kempton 3.13 – Listed Snowdrop Fillies' Stakes
I like the look of Survie (11/8 fav) back down in trip in this one.
She’s two from two on the all-weather after a decent novice success at Lingfield in January and she wasn’t discredited when third of 11 in the Neom Turf Cup in Saudi Arabia last month.
That’s pretty smart form and this looks a good opportunity to get her head back in front again.
Megan’s Tip: Survie WIN
Doncaster 3.32 – Lincoln Handicap
This year’s Lincoln looks as competitive as ever and BetMGM is paying six places on each-way bets.
I do think Galeron (12/1) will run really well again having not been beaten far when fifth last year.
He’s effectively 12 pounds lower this year with his jockey’s claim and based on that he could be very well-handicapped.
He shouldn't have any problems with a bit of juice in the ground, and while there are plenty of potential improvers in here, he should go well once more.
Megan’s Tip: Galeron EW
Meydan 4.10 – Dubai Sheema Classic
Calandagan (1/3 fav) should be very hard to beat here and I can’t wait to see him back in action.
He took out the Champion Stakes in impressive style, won the Japan Cup when last seen and connections will be hoping he can go one better in this race than 12 months ago.
He was probably a touch unlucky in-running and based on his past two runs, I can’t see any reason to take him on.
Megan’s Tip: Calandagan WIN
Meydan 4.45 – Dubai World Cup
Again the favourite looks very solid here.
That’s Forever Young (1/2 fav) and if in the same form when winning in Saudi Arabia, he should prove a pretty tough nut to crack.
He looked a bit flat in this race last year after having such a hard race prior in Saudi, but this time around he wouldn’t have had it as gruelling and I expect that to make a big difference.
This race doesn’t look as deep as it did 12 months ago either, and he should win this for Japan.
Megan’s Tip: Forever Young WIN
