Who To Follow At Meydan On Friday - 25/02/22

Charlie Appleby, again has some live chances on Friday at the UAE track starting in the Group Three Millennium Stakes over 1m2f.

The experienced British handler fields the top two in the market with Star Safari and Royal Fleet both having some cracking form at the track ahead of the race.

Appleby is double pronged in the Jumeirah Derby aswell with New Kingdom and Nations Pride both equally having big chances in the valuable race.

The trainer heads into the meeting sporting a 25% strike rate for the last two weeks managing seven winners from 28 runners.

The jockey follow on Friday at Meydan on what looks a tricky day from a punting perspective is the the talented Mickael Barzalona.

Known for riding winners all over the world but especially in France, he always does well at Meydan and has a nice book of rides across the afternoon.

Two of his best chances across the afternoon look to be Batwan in the second race of the day with the gelding heading into the race off the back of a win and Motawaajed who is a smart horse for his new yard if bouncing back to form.
