Bahrain Race 5 - 1M 2F Stakes

BLEAK (2) was sent out favourite last time and scored by one length at this track. Has four wins here. He is up in class, but is in a good space, and drops 7kg from his last run. Go again. ZAGATO (1) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past seven starts. Last time out, he finished second over 2400m at this track. Hard to knock and is a winning hope again. INTRICACY (3) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has three placings from six starts this campaign, finishing 0.8 lengths away in second most recently over 2000m at this track. Winning claims if at his peak. SALAMANCA LAD (5) finished second two runs back at this track, then improved last time out to score comfortably over 2000m at this track. Stick with him.
