Bahrain Race 5 - Future Stars Champions Cup Stakes
FURY (1) is a sharp improver in his first prep and made it three straight with a strong win over 1000m on the inside track. Handles the trip well and should be right in the finish again. DESERT EMPRESS (6) improved nicely at her second start when third over 1000m on the inside track. Has the speed to be prominent and her best figures make her a contender. CORNER POCKET (3) was well beaten on debut over 1200m on the inside track but will be better for the experience and can lift. GINJER (4) has shown gradual improvement in two runs on the inside track, and although this is tougher, he's heading the right way and can be competitive. Include in all top 4 combos.
