PUNTERS CAN look forward to two handsome carry-overs to tomorrow’s 10-race programme at Caymanas Park.
The day will also be highlighted by a number of trophy races in honour of Finance Minister Audley Shaw and board members of Caymanas Track Limited as the company marks its final day as sole promoter.
The twilight Super-6 has a carry-over of $1,488,717.75 while the Pick-9, which will embrace races two to 10, has a carry-over of $1,922,501.70.
The opening race in the first Super-6, this for the Ozane Bell Trophy for maiden three-yearolds over a mile, looks tailored for RAMBUNCTIOUS LINKS, who has finished second to some decent horses in his three races to date.
Trained by 16-time champion Wayne DaCosta, RAMBUNCTIOUS LINKS, with champion jockey Omar Walker again in the saddle, chased home TUXEDO in one of those races and given the longer distance of a mile, should stave off the improving SUBBIE, who was a good second to stable-companion PROUD OF NUCLEAR over 1820 metres last Saturday.
The second race for the Ed Barnes Trophy, again over a mile (five-year-olds and up), should resolve itself into a straight fight between GOODOL’SUNCLELINK (Odean Edwards up) and QUEENOFSAINTROSE (Jevanne Erwin), both improving types.
EASY WIN
The lightly raced five-year-old horse GOODOL’UNCLELINK won easily over 1500 metres on his second outing some weeks ago and, coming from the inform stables of Errol Waugh, is given the edge in a field of eight.
FRANCIA’S PRIDE, to again be ridden by apprentice Anthony Thomas for in-form trainer Fitzroy Glispie, was such an easy winner over a mile on February 18 that she looks all set to repeat in the third race for the Keith Blake Trophy over 1500 metres in which the frontrunning
DR BANNER looks her principal danger.
I also like LEGENDARY PLEASURE to win the fourth over 1500 metres for the Alvin Beckford Trophy, REIGN OVER ALL in the fifth for the Roderick ‘Pilot’ Francis Memorial Trophy, and NINELIFECAT with in-form apprentice André Powell in the sixth for the Shane Dalling Trophy over
the straight.
