Bahrain Race 6 - Al Methaq Mile Listed Stakes

PHANTOM FLIGHT (7) comes back to a more suitable assignment after contesting the 2100m Turf Cup at Riyadh, where he wasn't able to figure in that far tougher field, but his record at this track is excellent with 3 wins from 5 attempts. CALIF (4) brings strong recent form, having scored over 2200m here last start by a clear margin, and he looks well placed to continue that momentum. CRACKSKING (5) was not far away when fourth over 2200m at this venue six weeks ago and now rises in trip, a distance range where he has excelled with 4 wins and 3 placings from 9 runs. SOVEREIGN SPIRIT (1) was below his best at Riyadh over 2100m in a harder field last time, but has the tactical speed to settle prominently, and he can make amends in this. Something for the Multiples: PIZ NAIR (6) BYLINE (1) MEHMENTO (5) WESTRIDGE (9)

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 49-day let-up. Last start 4th of 14 at Riyadh on February 13 over 2100m, 4 len behind Gran Descans with 62kg at $4.50. The start before that favourite; won by a nose at this track BHRG3 January 30 over 2000m defeating Cracksking with 58kg at $1.95. Genuine hope on best form.
