Bahrain Race 2

Lexus Cup (Local Group 1)

Stake: $27,847

CALL THE WIND (2) scored over 1400m at this track at his most recent appearance on April 17. Now under the care of new trainer Paul Smith. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. CALIFORNIA (1) returns from a break of seven months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 2000m at this track. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. SINATRA (6) is resuming from a break of seven months for a new stable after finishing fourth over 1200m in Group 2 class at this track at his latest outing. Generally runs well when fresh, recording two minor placings from three runs. Sure to be competitive. PISCES (5) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track seven months ago. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. In the mix. Something for the Multiples: ELVOGUE (1) RIDER ON THE STORM (5) LIVING ART (2) MIDHAAL (3)
