<li>The Cesarewitch Handicap (Sunday, 00:40 AEST) – A major competitive handicap race run over two miles and two furlongs.</li>
</ul>
<p>Let’s take a look at each of these for some top horse racing betting predictions…</p>
<h2>Dubai Future Champions 2025 Festival: Betting Preview</h2>
<p>In the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/futures/horse/fillies-mile-9513823">Fillies’ Mile</a>, it’s worth keeping tabs on two horses as being the most likely to win in a field of around 15. These are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Precise (Aidan O'Brien) - unbeaten in three seven-furlong races, including a big Curragh win.</li>
<li>Legacy Link (John & Thady Gosden) - has improved significantly in recent races and is proven at a mile, winning her last outing.</li>
</ul>
<p>In the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/futures/horse/dewhurst-stakes-9517381">Group 1 Darley Dewhurst Stakes</a>, a handful of contenders are thought to be in contention to win this race. We’ve picked out the following two in this race:</p>
<ul>
<li>Zavateri (Eve Johnson Houghton) - enters unbeaten with four wins, including the prestigious National Stakes at the Curragh, showing classic potential for next season and strong form.</li>
<li>Gstaad (Aidan O'Brien) - finished a close second by just a head to the unbeaten favourite Zavateri in the National Stakes at the Curragh, showing he can compete at the highest Group 1 level.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/futures/horse/cesarewitch-9535156">Cesarewitch Handicap</a> is another elite horse race that will feature many top horses. We’ve identified the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reverend Hubert (Charles Byrnes) - coming off an impressive eight-length win in the Trial at Newmarket. Does have a history of receiving penalties.</li>
<li>Alphonse Le Grande (Tony Martin) - won the race last year; does carry a 6lb higher penalty mark.</li>
<li>Zanndabad (Tony Martin) - an outsider who is highly regarded for his stamina and strong staying pedigree, he has been prepared specifically for this race all season.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Dubai Future Champions 2025 Festival: Betting Prediction</h2>
<p>When looking at the preview and information above, we have one pick that we like the look of…</p>
<p>We’d back Zanndabad as an each-way bet in the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/futures/horse/cesarewitch-9535156">Cesarewitch Handicap betting odds</a>, as we believe there is a strong chance he will finish inside the first four places for this race. He delivered an eye-catching performance in a recent run, finishing strongly despite being blocked.</p>
<p>While his form has been mixed recently, this looks like a race that he will turn up for.</p>
