Akeed Mofeed is as good right now as he's been at any point in his career racing in Ireland or Hong Kong, IMO. He seems to keep improving with every race. I think this will likely be Akeed Mofeed's prep for his upcoming trip to Dubai in March. The only thing still in question is whether his connections will run him in the G1 Dubai World Cup at 2000 meters on tapeta or the G1 Dubai Duty Free at 1800 meters on turf? Distance wise, I think he'd be better suited by the 2000 meters in the Dubai World Cup, but having never raced on a synthetic surface in his career it's hard to know if he'll handle the switch to the tapeta main track as effectively as he'd handle the turf course at Meydan?
