Dubai: Irish trainer Jim Bolger has said he was optimistic that he will have a bigger contingent at the Dubai Racing carnival in future.

"I am optimistic that by 2010, I could have a good string taking part in the Dubai Racing Carnival," Bolger told Gulf News. After failing to make an impact with Alexander Goldrun in two previous attempts the Irish handler is taking another shot with yet another classy filly- Finsceal Beo.

Bolger expressed his satisfaction with Finsceal Beo's preparation and is hoping for a big run on Saturday. "She is doing very well, has travelled well. This filly does have a really good chance," said Bolger.

The four-year-old daughter of Mr Greeley is entered in the Group 1 Dubai Duty Free, which promises to be a thriller with some quality contenders in the fray.

Bolger's Alexander Goldrun finished sixth behind Elvstroem in the 2005 Dubai Duty Free and the next year finished fifth to Heart's Cry in the Dubai Sheema Classic.
