Miss Grove set for first
SATURDAY's Reggae 6 starts afresh after what is expected to be a bumper mandatory payout on Friday's Labour Day, making the bet a prime target with a minimum-guaranteed payout of $3.5 million.
Approach the opener with caution, three-year-old maidens at five furlongs round. MARGARITA must be carried on account of speed whereas PRETTY SASSY going to her knees at the start on last suggest she should be the horse to beat.
However, LOREDO reports with equipment changes and has worked well in the head gear, suggesting a turnaround in form could be on the cards.
UNRULY DUDE and SO BEAUTIFUL have contrasting running styles, run-on sprinter and speedster, respectively, making them the likely choices in the second at five furlongs round for $500,000 claimers.
MISS GROVE, who chased home American BOWMORE on last, staying on to outfinish H TWO O, should be the first Canadian filly imported by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association to be unsaddled in the winners' enclosure, tackling a mix of local and foreign maidens at six and a half furlongs in the third.
TITAN TEMPOO and PINEAPPLE are inseparable in the fourth, similarly back-to-form IANNAI LINKS and BIG JULE in the fifth.
Close Saturday's Reggae 6 strong with five selections. HERE COMES DOC is a sneaky sort, who often strikes at will. WAYNE'S PRINCESS, LION CHARMER and COSMIC FORCE are enjoying good form. The unknown among the lot is THE HOT DANCER, on a four-timer taking on a bunch of exposed runners.
