Bahrain. Race 6

1M 4F Hcap

Prize Money: $16,949

TARTAN CHIEF (2) turned in a fine effort to score by 6 lengths at this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Going up a level this time, but he is good enough to repeat the dose. BLEAK (1) finished a fair seventh last time out over 2000m at this track four weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time, and will prove tough to beat. ELWASME (3) finished out of the money two starts back, then was a battling seventh in a 2400m contest at this track five weeks ago. He is better than that, and in this field, he is worth another chance. GLEN SAVAGE (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 2400m at this track. He won't lack fitness and in a small field, he is not without winning claims.

Useful gelding. Returns from a 36-day let-up. Last start 7th of 10 at this track on February 27 over 2400m, 22 len behind Signalman with 61kg at $3.75. Before that 9th of 16 at this track on February 21 over 1800m, 4 len behind Knight Of Honour with 55.5kg at $34. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.
