SO YOU THINK heads into Saturday's $10 million Dubai World Cup with glowing reports on his condition as he bids to justify favouritism for the Group 1 contest.

Trained by Aidan O'Brien, who sent out Cape Blanco to finish fourth in the World Cup 12 months ago, So You Think will be having his first run since finishing sixth behind Drosselmeyer in the Breeders' Cup Classic on dirt at Churchill Downs in November.

The five-year-old was given a favourable draw in stall four - which O'Brien described himself as "very happy" with - and he is as short as 9-4 to take the world's richest race and add to his haul of eight Group 1s and over £4 million in prize-money.

FRANKEL is to step up his preparation for his much-awaited seasonal return with a racecourse gallop at Newbury in April.

Trainer Sir Henry Cecil is hoping give the world's highest-rated racehorse a gallop at their spring meeting on April 20-21 as part of his build-up for a return to the venue for the Group 1 JLT Lockinge Stakes on May 19.

Frankel is familiar with Newbury, having opened his three-year-old campaign there with a smooth victory in the Greenham Stakes last April before going on to greater things.
