Race Preview
One of the most lucrative races on the international schedule takes place this weekend, as the Dubai World Cup headlines a star-studded card at Meydan. The final Group One on the card in the UAE offers a purse of $12 million, with Ushba Tesoro among the leading contenders to record a history-equaling second win in the race.
The seven-year-old was an impressive winner of this race in 2023, and continues his progression by landing a Group Two back in Japan. His season also included a commendable effort in the G1 Breedersā Cup Classic when finishing fifth. On his return to action, he was beaten by a head by Senor Buscador in a thrilling edition of the G1 Saudi Cup.

The manner in which Senor Buscador finished that race could mean that there is value in siding with the Todd Pletcher runner this weekend. He finished the strongest in the field, meaning this slight step up in distance could bring out further improvement for the American contender in the field.
Derma Sotogake was back in fifth on his return to action, but there could yet prove to be more upside with this four-year-old contender, who finished second in the G1 Breedersā Cup Classic. He boasts strong course form after landing the G1 UAE Derby in stunning fashion last year.
Dubai World Cup Prediction
Derma Sotogake and Senor Buscador are two runners that we will be keen to include in exotics this weekend, with the overall preference being for the former. A solid effort could also be on the cards for Bob Baffertās Newgate, who was very impressive when landing the G1 Santa Anita Handicap at the start of the month.
