Bahrain Race 6

1M 2F Hcap

Stake: $18,644

INTRICACY (1) last appeared four weeks ago over 2400m at this track when he finished fifth. This is his first run for the A Smith stable. Well-placed and sure to feature. SALAMANCA LAD (5) has recently been thereabouts without winning, the latest effort a second over 1400m at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Leading contender. PEDRO VALENTINO (4) started favourite last time but found one better over 1800m at this track. Looks well placed stepping out in trip. Can figure in the finish. ROLLAJAM (2) will be resuming from a long spell and is not the worst in this small field.

Second run from a spell 2nd in a small field at this track on March 13 over 1800m, 1.5 len behind Gumais with 61kg at $2.37. No surprise if he was in the finish.

At the latest run ran last in a small field at this track on March 13 over 1800m, 17 len behind Gumais with 59kg at $4.50. Before that 2nd of 10 at this track on March 7 over 2000m, 1.3 len behind Fanatic carrying 54kg at $7. Form doesn't read well but he is a genuine chance.
