Safety Check runs probably 10 points higher over Meydan's turf course than he has over any of the racecourses in the UK where he's contested group level races in the past. I know there's some doubt about his being able to stay a furlong further for the distance of the G1 Dubai Turf, but boy, after back to wins now in 2015 & 2016 in the G2 Al Fahidi Fort and G2 Zabeel Mile, I don't know how you don't at least take a shot with him and make him prove that 1800 meters is a bridge too far.
