KINGSTON, Jamaica - The top-rated event on the Saturday, May 18, 2024, card is an Open Allowance for three-year-olds and up horses.
Six are entered to contest this call going 7 ½ furlongs.
The race is listed as the ninth on the Overnight programme, with The Quick Galloper’s assessment delivered below.
1 - Mamma Mia has clinched one victory in 2024 out of four starts. This filly can excel over 7 ½ furlongs and consistently demonstrates a preference for leading from the front. With strong form and thorough preparation, Mamma Mia is a formidable contender for the win.
2 - Taurus Boy has recently ascended to the Open Allowance grouping and is gaining valuable experience.
3 - Sonny T And Chippy is stepping up to the Open Allowance grade for the first time. A consistent and versatile competitor, Sonny T And Chippy can lead or stay close to the leaders but is not likely to clinch victory.
4 - Further And Beyond has secured second place in the last two races at this level. Despite not being as dominant as before, Further And Beyond is still a contender in this race, especially with the visor off.
5 - Divine Force is still acclimating to this grade and can be discounted from serious consideration.
6 - Mahogany is the standout horse in this event. After his seasonal debut 35 days ago, finishing third over six furlongs, Mahogany is expected to be sharper for this race. Despite carrying weight, Mahogany's class should help secure his 18th win out of 32 starts.
