Sakhir Race 6 - Race 7 Hcp
SOUTH CHINA SEA (9) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing fourth over 1600m in Group 2 class 6-and-a-half months ago which was the only run of that prep. He has Ebrahim Nader in the irons who has 2 wins when partnering stays on. Hard to beat back in his rightful class. SMART CRAFTSMAN (6) returns after a 7 month spell. He closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1000m at this track. Keep him safe fresh up in this even contest. MEMBERSHIP (10) is a talented gelding who tackled a tougher race at his last run on April 24 and finished sixth over 1600m in Group 2 class here on the classic course. He has the pole position, and will be ready to rumble. BE LUCKY MY SON (4) finished fourth over 2200m at this track at his most recent appearance on April 9. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Radhi Isa, and if he can rediscover his earlier good form, then he is a real eac-way threat in this.
