The Panamanian jockey, Luis Saez, moved Mystic Guide to the front as the field swept on to the final stretch.
Godolphin homebred son of Ghostzapper provided the stable their ninth Dubai World Cup trophy with a winning time of 2:01:61.
Japanese raider Chuwa Wizard stayed on to take second, three and three-quarter lengths behind the winner, with Godolphin’s French-based representative Magny Cours running on into third, another length and a quarter further back.
Saez said: “Our plan worked out. To break well, get a position and then I knew he would give me that kick at the top of the straight - and he did. I didn’t want to be too far back and I just asked him turning for home and he kicked. The plan worked out perfectly. He’s a young horse and last time I rode him I knew he was a Group 1 winner.
“Today he proved he is a champion and I know he is going to get better and better. What a nice horse, he has all the ability. It’s an honour for me. This was my dream as a little kid and I can’t believe I’m here now. It’s a dream come true.
