The G2 Zabeel Mile and the Listed UAE Oaks are the main features.

However we shall be paying attention to the first and last races on the card where Australian Jockey Caitlin Jones will be riding two former Aussie horses,

In the first she will be on board He's a Bolter, a 5yo by Spirit of Boom, who is on 13/2 in the UK.  Caitlin has already ridden him at Morphetville where he ran third.

In the last she will be on Parsifal by Darci Brahma who hails from Victoria where he had a good record.  Both horses are now with Will Clarken.

Caitlin speaks about both runners in an interview with Laura Martin on Dubai Racing.

The UAE 1000 Guineas is over 1600m and has just 6 runners.  Topping the market is the Bahraini Shahama, from Fawzi Nass's yard and Adrie de Vries rides.  Doug Watson's Minwah is on 17/2 and Little Afrodite is 8/1.

The Zabeel Mile has Real World odds-on for bin Suroor with Dan Tudhope riding, and from the other Godolphin yard Path of Thunder is on11/2 and One Ruler 7/1.  The Godollphin Mile tends to stay in Godolphin hands.
