Bahrain Race 2 - Imported Handicap
LORD MONTAGUE (2) resumed with a strong win two starts back and followed it with a solid third over 1800m on the classic course here. Well placed here and should prove hard to beat. REFRESHMENT (5) failed to fire over 1800m at Sakhir last start despite market support, but his prior third was full of merit. Capable of sharp improvement and warrants respect. ARCTIC GREY (6) has been below his best in two runs since resuming, the latest a modest effort over 1200m at this track. Fitter now and expected to show meaningful improvement. JEHANGEER (1) has missed the frame in both runs this campaign, most recently finishing out of the money over 1400mon the classic course here. Finds a suitable race and can bounce back. Something for the Multiples: ASIMOV (2) MAYSTAR (3) BROOKLYN NINE NINE (8) CHIMGAN (1)
