Godolphin looks to end DWC Carnival campaign on high on Super Saturday

Saeed Bin Suroor has pinned his hopes on Royal Marine for Jebel Hatta. Godolphin will look to end the Dubai World Cup Carnival on a high as this season's seven-week programme at Meydan, UAE, reaches its climax on Saturday. The traditional dress rehearsal for Dubai World Cup Night has established itself as a prestigious fixture in its own right, with two G1 prizes up for grabs including the Jebel Hatta Sponsored By Emirates Airlines. Godolphin has won six of the last eight renewals of the nine-furlong turf feature and three contenders this year include Al Suhail (William Buick). The Dubawi colt makes his first appearance since scoring by six lengths in a mile Listed race at Newmarket's July Festival. The four-year-old's trainer Charlie Appleby is also represented by Art du Val (Mickael Barzalona), a handicap course and distance winner at the Carnival in 2020 who went down by a head and a neck when third in the G2 Zabeel Mile in mid-February. Royal Marine (Frankie Dettori) runs in the same race for Saeed Bin Suroor. Victorious in the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere as a two-year-old in 2018, the son of Raven's Pass stayed on in fifth after missing the break
