Silent Mission, Desha to decide Caymanas midweek feature
THE native-bred three year olds (non-winners of two) and imported three year olds and upwards (maiden) Restricted Allowance II fillies and mares contest at six furlongs (1,200m) is the highlight with no trophy race on the nine-race card today (Tuesday, September 20) at Caymanas Park.
Below is the analysis of the 11 runners.
1. BERLINO’S CHOICE: (3 ch f by Berlino di Tiger – Mete-Otite) – Finished a short head behind Sudden Flight in claiming company over the five straight course on August 28. With the competition greatly enhanced, Berlino‘s Choice will not be a factor.
2. THIRTYONEKISSES: (3 b f by Savoy Stomp – Shahar) – This filly has shown nothing in her last six races. Thirtyonekisses can only hope for a possible place on the board.
3. HIDDEN VALLEY: (3 ch f by Soul Warrior – Little Thunder) – Has done nothing in her four attempts at this level. Hidden Valley with the leading rider in the saddle and less to fear for these rivals is going to get closer.
4. A GIFT FROM BEN: (3 ch f by Here Comes Ben – Sage’s Giftbox) – Returns after a break of 72 days. A Gift From Ben ran two decent races at this level before and, having advertised her capabilities, can be considered part of the mix. She might, however, need time given her long absence.
5. RIDDIM (USA): (3 ch f by Race Day – Nabbed) – Finished down the track in six local appearances. Riddim is going to be left behind again.
6. ALEXA‘S SECRET: (3 ch f by Sensational Slam – Alexa’s Song) – Home-bred filly with a high rating, Alexa’s Secret finished a close fourth to Lacrimae and Wowtastic over five furlongs (1,000m) round on September 3. She will relish this extended trip and, although facing Wowtatsic again, could prove equal to the task at hand.
7. WOWTASTIC: (3 b f by Perfect Curlin – Sarah Barracuda) – Very consistent campaigner who finished ¾ length behind Lacrimae on September 3. Wowtastic will report in even better condition and is primed for win number two.
8. DESHA: (3 ch f by Nuclear Wayne – Princess Sallema) – Gave a good account of herself on September 11 when finishing fifth by 3 lengths behind El Cid over 6½ furlongs (1,300m). Desha, if she can leave the gate promptly, will impact the outcome with the in-form Roger Hewitt aboard.
9. FYFFES PEN LIZ: (3 gr f by Midnight Hawk – Sexy Moon) – An upset winner 23 days ago, now racing in non-winners of two for the first occasion. Needs more time to assimilate the new grouping.
10. SILENT MISSION: (3 b f by Savoy Stomp – Lady Mandi) – Classic-placed filly who should have already graduated from this class. Silent Mission went down in a blanket finish, when finishing fourth by 2 lengths behind Great Trick, Get A Pepsi, and Last Bid on August 27 over today’s distance. Silent Mission has continued to train well. A life contender.
11. MINIDEWAK: (3 b f by Lion Tamer – Aura Mas) – Minidewak is a late non-starter.
12. RUNWAY ICON: (3 rn f by Deputy Glitter – Runaway Silver) – Runaway Icon is not going to cause any problems for the principals.
