KINGSTON, Jamaica – KINGSTON, Jamaica - The final race on Saturday, September 16, 2023, is an Overnight Allowance for horses yet to win in this grade.
A large field of 14 horses will compete in a five-furlong dash.
Here's a brief analysis of each runner in post-position order.
1 – SNOWFLAKES: Still adjusting. Expect continued progress on Saturday.
2 – TEKAPUNT: A consistent contender in Overnight races but lacks speed for this short sprint. Needs leaders to tire for a chance at victory.
3 – LUKSOL: This foreign speedster is a serious threat if granted an uncontested lead. Prone to fading down the stretch, though.
4 – JJ THE STRIKER: Outclassed here.
5 – RING CHARMER: Five furlongs is too short for this mare.
6 – ALEA'S LODGE: Fluctuates between high claiming and Overnight races. Even a minor placing looks difficult.
7 – FREEDOM STREET: Recent performances and jockey choice don't inspire confidence.
8 – POWER RANKING: Garnered attention after finishing second to Lure of Lucy 56 days ago. Five furlongs suit him well, and he could secure his recent form with a victory.
9 – T BRADY: Absent for 413 days, doesn't warrant consideration.
10 – BRINKS: Hasn't lived up to expectations but could capitalise on an outside draw and late surge. Races with tongue tie and figure eight.
11 – DEN STREET: Speedy winner last time out in $750,000 claiming, but faces stiffer competition today.
12 – THE GOOD WITCH: Impressive return from a break but encounters tougher opponents. Races with tongue tie off and figure eight on.
13 – BASILICUS: Not a genuine contender.
14 – CATABA: Can be ignored.
In conclusion, this race is closely contested, with Brinks holding a slight edge.
