Dagga Dagga Links has all the answers

- ORVILLE CLARKE

The third Sunday meet since its return to Caymanas Park in August, following a long absence, takes place tomorrow with a nine- race programme featuring the Abbie Grannum Memorial Cup 2- y- o maiden special over 1400 metres.

Nine youngsters

have

been declared, including the likely favourite DAGGA DAGGA LINKS under former champion jockey Shane Ellis, SOUND OF MIRACLE with 2.0kg claiming apprentice Prince Holder, ISRAELITE with champion jockey Dane Nelson and BIGMAN TING, to be ridden by Jevanne Erwin.

The Andrew McDonaldtr­ained DAGGA DAGGA LINKS looks the most forward in condition based on his good second to FRANGIPANI over 1200 metres on his October 26 debut.

The bay colt by Seeking The Glory out of Golden Compass has not only worked well in preparatio­n for this race but has been administer­ed Lasix as well, having bled on debut.

DAGGA DAGGA LINKS showed good speed before giving way to FRANGIPANI midway the last furlong and now better for the experience, looks poised to open his account.

He looked sharp at exercise on Wednesday morning when galloping seven furlongs in 1: 31.0 ( bullet work). With this in mind, an improved performanc­e is anticipate­d tomorrow which should see him accounting for main rivals SOUND OF MIRACLE from the Patrick Taylor stable and ISRAELITE, who runs without the tongue tie for this race.

SOUND OF MIRACLE, who carries a mere 48.5kg, was not disgraced when finishing seven lengths fifth to the disqualifi­ed ALSO CORRECT over 1300 metres on October 22. With the visor now fitted, she looks the principal danger to my selection DAGGA DAGGA LINKS, who is expected to make all.
