Bahrain Race 3

1M Stakes

Stake: $23,305

BYLINE (3) will find this easier than last start when he finished fifth over 1351m in Group 2 grade at Riyadh, that effort following on from a minor placing two starts ago in Group 2 class at this track. Ideally placed to return to form. JUANTORENA (5) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished second, beaten one length, over 1400m in Group 1 class at this track at the latest appearance two weeks ago. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will give a great sight. MERLIN'S BEARD (7) lines up on the back of solid effort for third over 2000m at this track. Ticks all the right boxes. PURE DREAMER (1) ran a better race last start, finishing 3 lengths away in fourth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

Comments

Useful gelding. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 7 at this track in BHRG3 on March 20 over 2000m, 6 len behind Returnofthemac carrying 57kg at $4.50. Before that won by 1.5 len at this track January 30 over 1800m defeating Soldier's Empire carrying 61kg at $17. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game.

Comes here off a 50-day let-up. Last start ran last of 9 at this track on February 27 over 1000m, 8 len behind Western carrying 62kg at $4.33. Before that 10th of 15 at this track on January 24 over 1200m, 11 len behind Nine Below Zero carrying 56.5kg at $8. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.
