Dubai seeks French Justice

Division ran far too freely and showed every sign that the one concern of the race coming soon after York unfortunately proved to be the case.

The poor run of horses from the yard on the International stage this month continued this morning in Australia when despite being heavily backed both Sam Hawkens and Lake Forest ran poorly. I did think this was likely and at the odds the advised watching brief, proved correct.

This month overseas only Santorini Star and Rhapsody have finished in the frame both in France but if there is any justice in the game Dubai Honour will give Somerville Lodge at least some return from what appears to have been a jinx on their horses crossing the Channel in 2025.

He runs in the Group 2 over 1m 3f the 1.33 at Longchamp on Sunday. He is clear top rated and this will be his easiest race since his win in Australia in the Spring. 

He has a leading chance of winning before heading East to Hong Kong , however Karl Burke runs a rapidly improving colt in Convergence who is a major threat.

The atrocious run of bad luck on French soil for the yard does cause me to to be cautious even though the 8yo is so reliable. The price though will be short enough and the omens tell me to keep the cash in my pocket for later in the week.
