Bahrain Race 7

Late Hh. Sh. Rashid Bin Isa Al Khalifa Cup Stakes

Prize Money: $16,529

SALAMANCA LAD (2) lines up for the first time since April 18. He usually takes a run, but in this small field, he is the one to beat. MR IRRELEVANT (1) scored over 1600m at this track at his most recent appearance on April 10. He resumes at a suitable level and will be the main threat to the top pick. RAYOUNPOUR (3) resumes from a spell. It is worth noting that he filled a minor placing when returning from a break last prep over 2400m at this track. Watch for him late. MAN OF EDEN (4) returns from a long spell, and can secure the run of the race from his inside gate. Watch closely.
