The seemingly improving Electrical Storm recorded consecutive victories at Meydan with another impressive display in a turf handicap on week two of the Dubai World Cup Carnival last Friday. The 6yo homebred Dubawi gelding, dropping back to 1600m for Saeed bin Suroor after readily scoring over 2000m at a domestic meeting in December, was covered up in midfield on the rail by Danny Tudhope.
Electrical Storm appeared full of running after switching out turning for home and travelled strongly into the race after a gap presented itself approaching the final 400m. He quickened to join Aegean Finale in front over 200m out before hitting the line strongly for a smooth success.
Winning trainer Saeed bin Suroor said: “Electrical Storm has done very well out in Dubai, winning both his starts, and we will consider stepping him up in class and trip now. “We have a couple of options here at Meydan as well as Saudi Arabia to consider, but we will see what rating the handicapper gives him after tonight.”
Danny Tudhope added: “Electrical Storm was coming back in trip but I had a good draw in four. They went quick and I was a little bit behind most of the way. Once I asked him to quicken, he picked up well and outstayed them. This will be his minimum trip and it was a very likable performance.”
