KINGSTON, Jamaica – Many eyes will be focussed on the re-entry of foreigner Double Diva to competitive racing.
Double Diva trained by Jason DaCosta races in a non-winners of four for three-and-four-year-olds and a non-winners of three call for foreigners going five furlongs straight.
THE QUICK GALLOPERlooks at the seven runners in this contest in order of the draw.
1 – ROCKET LILY– enters this level for the first occasion after winning in non-two and is out of her grade. Can be left out of consideration.
2 – WILL THE CONQUERER– was a no-show seven days ago, with his chances improved over the five straight course which is more to his liking. Will earn. Will The Conquerer races with the blinkers on.
3 – MORSE CODE– filling space for his stablemate.
4 – TOLANA – this US-bred filly needed only two starts to register her first win and that was 63 days ago on February 5 at five-furlongs round. Talona has been on the track since then with gallops over the straight. Expect Talona to be vying for the lead and will be a factor in the closing stages.
5 – IT’S A BOY – out of his class.
6 – POWER RANKING – racing in non-four and has only won two races. Will have to wait.
7 – DOUBLE DIVA– much was expected of their foreigner but she has been hampered by injuries. In preparation for this event, Double Diva has been putting in some fast times at exercise, including a 1:06.4 gallop for 5 ½ furlongs. Double Diva is primed to earn her second win.
