KINGSTON, Jamaica – The highlight of the Saturday card of February 18, 2023, is a five-straight sprint for The Reggae Month Trophy at the Open Allowance level.
Six are entered with the analysis provided below.
1 - LABAN when last at the track (Nov 22, 2023) at seven furlongs in the grouping below Open Allowance. Not known for speed Laban even to have an outsider’s chance has to come from behind.
2 - CURLIN’ AFFAIR is accomplished on this trip but has found it difficult in this grade. He has been persistent in his recent efforts and is given a real chance of success.
3 - DUKE has not been seen in recent times over the five straight course. Duke is a guest at every party in recent times, and given his pedigree and class can easily race close to the pace and then pounce where it matters most.
4 - LURE OF LUCY has the pace to either lead or be close enough to challenge throughout. This American bred is in her best form ever, and with that in mind cannot be overlooked.
5 - GOD OF LOVE is the pre-race favourite, which is a true representation because he has already achieved several wins in Open Allowance. God of Love goes well coming down the straight and despite allowing the weight is the one to beat.
6 – TAURUS BOY tries his hoofs in Open Allowance and will be overwhelmed.
