The 6th episode of the Dubai Carnival saw Appleby-Buick clean up in the last 3 of the 6 races.
Otherwise there was another top finish for Fawzi Naas and Adrie de Vries when Shahama continued her unbeaten run in the UAE Oaks. Arabian Gazelle ran second for Seemar-Dettori 20/1 and Minwah one of our tips was third at 14/1.
The Aussies came and did well in the Blue Point Sprint finishing third and fourth in a very tight run for the minors, but there was no stopping Lazuli for the first of the Appleby-Buick treble. Margins were 1 1/4l, nk, nk with Parsifal and He's a Balter being the 2 "nks".
The Nad Al Sheba Trophy, a prep for the Gold Cup, saw Manoba break the track record for 2000m and continue his unbeaten run for Appleby-Buick. There were a couple of roughies in the placings with East Asia second and Global Head third.
Appleby and Buick again saluted in the last with Valiant Prince who looks promising.
