The 2025 Dubai World Cup Carnival rolls into its fifth week on Friday. Viewers have got another valuable card to take in, which is headlined by the Group Three Dubai Millenium Stakes.

Here are our best betting tips on week five of the Dubai World Cup Carnival. 

Dubai World Cup Carnival 2025 Tips - Week 5


3:15pm Meydan - Dubai Sprint Tips


ROMANTIC STYLE (8/11) drops down in both class and trip on Friday and I'm struggling to see why Charlie Appleby's filly isn't shorter than 8/11.

A two-time winner over six furlongs as a juvenile, Romantic Style won the Prix Imprudence over seven before finishing fourth in the French 1000 Guineas. William Buick's mount only ran once during the rest of the season and was turned over at 1/3 by Choisya when tackling a mile again in the Cape Verdi two weeks ago.

Choisya is rated in the mid-100s and a proven stayer over a mile, so that loss wasn't a complete shock. Romantic Style is in with a bunch of handicappers on Friday and shouldn't be inconvenienced by this drop in trip. She should be closer to 1/3 than 8/11.

4:25pm Meydan - Dubai Millennium Stakes Tips


Charlie Appleby will send out odds-on favourites for all of Friday's turf races. First Conquest is the only one I fancy taking on, and the one I'm going to side with is CAIRO (8/1) who went off as the favourite for the 2023 UAE Derby when trained by Aidan O'Brien.

Cairo was moved to Alice Haynes' yard in the summer, finishing second for her new trainer in good nine-furlong races at Leopardstown and Goodwood. Silvestre De Sousa's mount placed second to the ill-fated and talented Measured Time on his Meydan turf debut in December, and didn't run badly over a shorter trip behind Poker Face on his most recent run.

Cairo drops down to Listed grade today and this step up in trip should suit, given his best results have come over a mile-and-a-eighth. With few other potential front-runners in the race, I'd like to see De Sousa give Cairo a confident ride from a low draw in stall two. They might be able to pinch this from the front.

5:00pm Meydan - Emaar South Tips


The best bet on Friday's card has to be GUNS AND GLORY (15/8), who tops the ratings for this conditions race. Bhupat Seemar's four-year-old was thrust up to a mark of 100 last March, following an explosive 12-length triumph in the Dubai Marina, where he blitzed his rivals from the front.

Tadhg O'Shea's mount hasn't been able to front-run since, mainly because he's been in with better opposition. Guns And Glory returned to form with a fine effort over ten furlongs three weeks ago and could have the run of this race if he breaks well from stall four.
