Bahrain. Race 4

1M 4F Stakes

Prize Money: $40,816

ZAGATO (5) scored by 5 lengths last start at Group 2 level at this track over 2200m. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring three times from six starts. He has some richer targets ahead of him abroad this season and he can complete the hat-trick here. PANNING FOR GOLD (1) has found the frame at both starts this prep, the latest when second over 2400m at this track. He will be peaking third up and is the main threat to the top pick if there is to be one. RAYOUNPOUR (2) has not won for over a year, the latest running third in Group 2 grade at this track over 2200m. He always tries his best and is worth including in all combinations. SOVEREIGN SPIRIT (3) started from a wide gate last time here and did not get into the race over 2000m. He will race closer to the pace in the small field and he is expected to bounce straight back into the money here.

Second-up. First-up after nine months ran last in a small field at this track on December 6 over 2400m, 18 len behind Bleak carrying 61kg. Previously second-up in a small field at this track on January 19 over 2200m, 6 len behind Chronograph carrying 58kg. Ready for improvement with that run under the belt.
