LET HIM FLY, ridden by Omar Walker, wins the fourth race over 6 1/2 furlongs at Caymanas Park on Sunday, June 8.

LET HIM FLY's 1:24.1, running into a strong headwind, beating $500,000 claimers at six and a half furlongs on June 8, can be bumped down to the 1:22.1 he had clocked at the level three months earlier, making the eight-year-old a banker to open Saturday's Reggae 6 against $350,000 company at seven and a half furlongs.

A former Jason DaCosta runner, the champion trainer swooped on the consistent claimer for $500,000, lowering him to $350,000 in his battle to stay ahead of challenger Anthony Nunes in their trainers' title tussle.

An $11.9 million single-winner bonus is worth mobbing the second race at five furlongs straight despite the small six-horse line-up. Do not underestimate AMAZING FORCE coming off a seven-month lay-up. Philip Feanny starting the foreigner out the five-straight chute suggests he could have issues navigating the round course but could win off the break out the straight.

Carry AMAZING FORCE with BOLD MOVE, SMART TRICK and MS CHERRY, who could be the strongest finisher among the local-breds and is drawn to close fast on the stands' side.

HICKORY SLIM and BOBBYTWOBAD, back among maidens after being disqualified on last, are the obvious choices for the third at six furlongs.

EAZY PEAZY and GENERATIONAL are the horses to be on in the fourth. EAZY PEAZY, on his first run for Nunes out of the claim box, led $1 million claimers before SIR JOHN pounced at seven furlongs on last. However, GENERATIONAL is super-fit and consistent, racing in O & S Racers silks, an outfit with a high strike rate off the claim.

SECURITY CODE, closing strongly at the end of his last two races, has the best form among five-year-olds, non-winners of two races, contesting the fifth at seven furlongs.

Close the Reggae 6 by using LEGAL FIGHT, blinkers refitted after fourth behind PRETTY SASSY last Saturday, backed up with SLAM SHARP for insurance purposes.
