KINGSTON, Jamaica - On Wednesday, February 14, 2024, the fourth of ten races features a field of nine horses competing in a four-year-old and upwards maiden race, with an optional claim of $750,000 to $600,000, over the five furlong straight course.
Below is an analysis of the runners in post-position order:
1 – UNCLE SYL's last run on January 28 showed potential after a lengthy break, finishing fourth at 5 ½ furlongs. This performance suggests he could be a contender for the win.
2 – SELECT PRINCE has not shown promise in seven career starts and is not a viable option for this race.
3 – TEQUILA FLIGHT, with ten starts, has shown some potential but needs to improve greatly to compete here. She is the sole horse racing with a $600,000 claiming tag.
4 – SELENA TREASURE, a four-year-old filly, has not raced in 66 days. With three starts and two fourth-place finishes, and despite a mishap on December 10, 2023, her preparations suggest she could have a shot at victory.
5 – HE STANDS ALONE has not shown competitive form in two starts and is unlikely to be a serious contender.
6 – CLOWNING AROUND has yet to make a significant impact in 12 starts but could place given the quality of the competition.
7 – SHE’S ALONE's best finish in 10 attempts is fourth, indicating a slim chance of winning.
8 – DOUBLE THE CASH showed improvement in earlier races but has fallen off recently. Double The Cash races without blinkers and a tongue tie and has the capability to be a deciding factor in the outcome.
9 – STORM BOY has demonstrated problematic behavior in his last two starts and is not recommended for selection.
