Bahrain. Race 6 - 1M 4F Hcap
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.
