Forever Young To Keep Going

Group 1 Dubai World Cup (2,000m) - Race 9, UAE. Start time: 1.30am (April 6, S'pore)

- 

1 FOREVER YOUNG Proved himself on the Meydan dirt track when winning the Group 2 UAE Derby (1,900m) in 2024. The way he grabbed Romantic Warrior late in that thrilling finish to February's Group 1 Saudi Cup (1,800m) confirmed his top quality and great courage. Holding an edge on ratings, he has been maintained in the same scintillating form and looks hard to beat.

2 HIT SHOW Twice an 1,800m Grade 2 winner in the US in 2024. Earlier in 2025, he outclassed his rivals in the Grade 3 Louisiana Stakes (1,900m) at the Fair Grounds. However, although making late headway to finish third in a Grade 1 over 2,000m at Santa Anita in March, plenty more is needed for success in this huge prize on his Meydan debut.

3 IL MIRACOLO Would shock if he wins as his name may suggest. A good but not brilliant dirt performer in the US, winning four of his 22 starts. A Grade 3 winner over 1,700m at Gulfstream Park in March 2024, but he has not been seen since finishing down the field behind the re-opposing Mixto in the Grade 1 Pacific Classic (2,000m) at Del Mar last August.
