KINGSTON, Jamaica - The Ahwhofah Sprint will be the feature event on the nine-race programme at Caymanas Park today (August 15). Eleven runners are down to take part in the three-year-olds and upwards Overnight Allowance event going over six furlongs (1,200m) for a purse of $1 million.
Below is the analysis of each runner and their chances of winning.
1 - SPARKLE DIAMOND (USA): (4 ch c by Include – Myntz Connection) – Finished down the track in his first run at this level on February 22 of this year. Installed as the 3-5 favourite, Sparkle Diamond broke down and finished seventh over nine lengths over five furlongs round. He has been working fairly well coming into this race and given his class, can rebound.
2 - GOD OF LOVE: (4 b g by Adore The Gold – Shanda D) – Consistent sort who finished a good second to Father Patrick on last and from this convenient mark, is going to run well again.
3 - ACTION RUN (USA): (4 drk b/br c by Uncaptured – Fast Action) – Comes into this race on the back of two-consecutive victories. He is an improving sort but cannot get a winning vote against these.
4 - DUKE: (4 gr c by Casual Trick – Lady MacBeth) – Didn’t fire on his first run at this level on last but is versatile and should bring fitness into play and find a place.
5 - HARRY’S TRAIN (USA): (5 ch m by Discreet Mine – Sweet Dixie Gal) – A winner on last and although returning from a 147-day break, Harry’s Train is going to impact the outcome.
6 - ZEPHYR: (7 ch m by Nasheet – Running Force) – Another consistent sort who makes her seasonal debut. Has not raced in 241 days and is going to need a run or two before she can be competitive.
7 - DUNROBIN: (7 b g by Blue Pepsi Lodge – En Vogue) – Showed nothing on last and little or no improvement is expected.
8 - EL PROFESOR: (5 b g by Casual Trick – The Principal) – Capable sort who has been running poor races of late and that should continue here.
9 - BOLD AFLAIR: (4 drk b c by Bold Warrior – Affair with Aflair) – Based on current form, Bold Aflair cannot be recommended.
10 - RAS EMANUEL: (8 b h by Burning Marque – Pleasant Princess) – Was expected to be competitive on last but finished down the track in a six-furlong race but should now get things right and come into play.
11- LALA DIVA: (5 b m by Casual Trick – Safe Landing) – Has no chance of winning.
