Racing at Meydan’s seven-race Thursday card is highlighted by the return of highly regarded Cosmo Charlie in the same 1600m rated conditions event he won 12 months ago en route to the Dubai World Cup Carnival. The co-feature of the evening is Meydan’s first Purebred Arabian feature of the season, the Group 2 Bani Yas over 1400m, in which RB Torch will attempt to defend the crown he won last year.
One of five in the race to be saddled by local champion trainer, Doug Watson, in the 1600m gulfnews.com feature, Cosmo Charlie has only ever raced in the UAE, making a winning debut as a 2-year-old in a 1400m Meydan maiden in December 2016.
Dubai World Cup Carnival (#DWCCarnival) aspirants, headed by the Watson-trained Ejaaby, have the chance to advertise their credentials in a 1200m handicap, on Race 3. One of five in the field of eight owned by Sheikh Hamdan, he is the choice of O’Neill.
