Meydan Friday tips: Moon can rise to the occasion

Missyechance is a fast filly who was able to make all and win over five furlongs at Catterick in the summer. 

Her exuberant style will be well suited to the dirt and will be able to attack from stall 3. She can utilise her early pace to establish a lead. 

This is her first start over 6f and, while it may stretch her stamina, dirt racing is all about early rather than closing speed. She can dominate this race on the favoured inside rail. 

Charlie Appleby had his first winner on the Meydan dirt since 2018 when Devon Island won at the last meeting here and he can strike again with Ruler Of Time. 

He has the best form, represented by his debut run at Newbury where he finished second to the subsequent Dewhurst winner Gewan. 

He posted a triple digit speed figure that day and did the same when finishing second on his next start at Kempton. He has a dirt pedigree and has been gelded since he last ran. He can take care of this field before going on to better things.

A shock winner of the Golden Shaheen last year and an easy winner on his return to action, this gelding is the one to beat in the dirt sprinting division and I am not convinced that there is anything in this field to trouble him. 

He is ideally suited to the Meydan dirt given the early pace that he possesses and in a field of just seven runners an outside berth in stall 6 will be no bar to him getting  to the front and dominating.

Honest Moon sets a clear standard in a maiden that will not take a lot of winning. He lacks a recent run but if he can find anything near his best he is the one to be with. 

His form when finishing third to Galactic Star and Heart Of Honor in the Listed Al Bastikiya is head and shoulders above anything achieved by his rivals. 

He is well drawn in stall 1 and he looks the one to be with, for all that we have to take his fitness on trust.
