$6 million Dubai World Cup, richest race in the world, goes off at 12:20 eastern Saturday (Race 7) on the card. Heavy favorite will be Roses in May, who finished second to Ghostazapper in the Breders Cup Classic. He's vulnerable here.
My predicted order of finish and estimated odds:
#4 Congrats (7-1)
#11 Roses in May (3-5)
#13 Yard-Arm (13-1)
#10 Lundy's Liability (7-1)
#5 Dynever (8-1)
#1 Adjudi Mitsuo (25-1)
Congrats just finished second in the Santa Anita Derby and looked better than Roses in May's prep at Gulfstream. Congrats' trainer, Richard Mandella, has had past success in this race. Yard-Arm is trained by Michael deKock, best race horse trainer in the world, in my opinion.

#12 Shamardal (6-5)
