2008 Dubai World Cup Workouts

Duty Free entrant Niconero went out for a gallop on Thursday morning. Fresh off a plane after riding in Australia, jockey Craig Williams is confident about his chances. "This is often the toughest race on the card and this year it's the strongest I've seen it. But my horse is the winner of the first leg of the Asian Mile Challenge (Group 1 Futurity Stakes) which is some of the best form we have in Australia at the moment. This is the second leg, so he has a good chance. All of the other horses are dangers, but I only have to worry about my horse. This will be his third race this season which has always been the plan. He's traveled over well and eaten up well and I hope he can run a good race."
