Race 1: Fenwick Handicap (2nd Section)

4 M M Johnny is racing well and he deserves a first win. He has the right draw here which should see him receive the run of the race under an in-form Matthew Chadwick. #1 Happy Tango is closing in on another win. He’s found his mark and this grade suits him. Expect he rolls forward under Karis Teetan in a bid to make all and offset his wide draw. #9 Touch Faith has consistency on his side and pairs favourably with Zac Purton this time. #7 Common Room mixes his form but he should be able to make good use of the inside gate.

Race 2: Fenwick Handicap (1st Section)

1 Happy Gathering returns to Class 5. His last run in this grade returned a win earlier this season and he’s since been racing with plenty of merit up in class. He can take advantage of this dip with Hugh Bowman engaged. #3 Double Show has always been thereabouts without winning. Expecting another strong showing from him. #4 Le Plus Vite has shown he’s capable of winning, especially in this grade. He pairs favourably with Vincent Ho. #11 Raging Blaze tends to run well without winning. Expect he finishes fast as usual.

Race 3: Fleming...

Monday’s “Lock” is at Western Fair on race #4 with the #2-Dakota Roadster: Looks to be the class and speed of this race-Travis Henry drives.

Last Lock won again and the pick record at 1053 of 1676 wins with 301 seconds and 113 thirds.

Race 1: TVB Charity Fund Handicap

2 Seatosky can continue to improve in Class 5. He’s racing well and the inside draw should afford him his chance close to the speed. #1 Circuit Spiritanto gets a handy 10lb taken off with the apprentice up. He does his best racing in this grade and it wouldn’t surprise to see him bounce into form here. #8 Apex Top has been racing off a winnable mark for a while. The wide draw is a slight hindrance. #5 Smart Folks is chasing back-to-back wins. Expect him to make another impact.

Race 2: TVB Tung Wah Celebrity Show Handicap

7 Winning Steps is chanced with getting the dream run throughout from gate one. He has the ability and with luck could prove difficult to beat. #2 Robot Warrior will need to overcome the widest of 14 draws. He’s closing in on a win and his recent form has been inconsistent but sound. #1 Lucky Diamond is expected to lead. He’s a tough on-pacer who at times is challenging to overhaul. #12 Management Folks was an impressive winner two starts ago. Expect he’s holding his condition.

Race 3: TVB...

Friday’s “Lock” is at Cal-Expo on race #2 with the #6-Grab N Go-Beaten Fav. Makes amends tonight. Elson Miller drives.

European challengers hoping to finish the Bahrain Turf Series in style

The final two £60,000 Bahrain Turf Series races of the season take place on Friday with a total of 12 European horses lining up across the two races.

There have been three international successes (Lucander, Nomadic Empire and King Of Conquest) in the eight races so far and hopes are high in the George Baker camp that Get It can bookend a successful Turf Series for Baker with victory in Al Sakhir Cup, run over 6f (1,200m).

Get It, who is one of four European challengers in the final sprint of the series, has raced almost exclusively over 5f in his career but Baker is hoping that he can see out the trip and finally get his head in front in Bahrain.

Baker said: “Get It has been a star for us. He was unlucky on his first run in Bahrain and I think he bumped into one in Mobaadel on his most recent start. It was a fantastic run and Andrea was very keen to get back on him on Friday. His work rider, Terry, said he is in great order. We couldn’t be happier with how we have him.”

George Baker, who has had three horses based in Bahrain this season, has already scooped £74,577 in prize money. He added: “They’re pushing £100,000 these horses and we’d struggle to get that at Wolverhampton, Southwell, Lingfield and places like that at this time of year. It’s been a great success. We will be back next year, we’re committed to Bahrain. Our owners have committed to it. We’ve had three horses here this year, if we came back with six or seven next year that would be absolutely wonderful.”

Meanwhile, Hugo Palmer is hopeful of a big run from Box To Box in The Vision 2030 Cup run over 1m 2f (2000m). The son of Kodiac ran a promising race on his Bahraini debut at the start of December but disappointed on his subsequent start. His trainer believes that the break has done him good.

Palmer said: “Despite a wide draw,...
