Bahrain Race 8 - Imported Handicap
ZAGATO (1) was returning from a decent spell last start and finished third past the post, before he was disqualified at this track. He strips fitter and is the one to beat here. PANNING FOR GOLD (3) turned in a good effort last time out when resuming from a layoff, finishing half a length away in second at this track over 2200m. Well-placed to play a major role in the small field. CRACKSKING (2) returns from a spell of seven months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished seventh at this track over 2000m when first-up last time in work. One of the genuine hopes in the race. VESTIGIA (4) drew wide last time and was safely held when sixth over this track and trip. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Can feature in the finish. Something for the Multiples: DECEMBER (2) ZAFARANI (1)

Second-up. First-up after seven months was third and then disqualified from his this track race November 14 over 2200m. Previously second-up favourite; won by 5 len at this track BHRG2 November 29 over 2200m defeating Young Ireland carrying 58.5kg at $1.16. Improvement likely and looks a big chance.

Gelding back from a spell of seven months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign to post a big 4 len win. This track BHRG2 April 18 over 2400m defeating Panning For Gold carrying 57kg at $2.10. First up last campaign seventh of 16 at this track December 20 over 2000m, 6 len behind Snellen carrying 59kg at $10. Certainly one to consider.
