All For Love gets the nod in Yvonne Mattis Cup feature
The Yvonne Mattis Cup, a three-year-old and upward Overnight Allowance contest over 9 furlongs (1,800m), takes centre stage on tomorrow’s 10-race card.
A field of 10 runners is down to compete for the $1.25-million purse on offer.
The Jamaica Observer’s The Supreme Racing Guide takes a look at each runner and their chances of winning.
1. SUNSET SILHOUTTE: (5 m by Northern Giant – Ahwhofah) – Capable runner who has been running some races of late. Sunset Silhoutte is going to enjoy this trip and is yet again expected to do well.
2. CLASSICAL ORB (USA): (6 b g by Orb – Tiz A Masterpiece) – Is best left alone here.
3. INSPIRE FORCE (USA): (4 ch c by Union Jackson – Exotic Design) – Ran an encouraging race when finishing in fourth place behind
Get A Pepsi, All For Love, and Justin Biden over 6 ½ furlongs (1,300m) on April 28. With the distance increased here, Inspire Force should run another pleasing race.
4. RAINSVILLE: (5 gr by Casual Trick – Fiftyoneshadesofray) – Finished a dismal fifth behind Sonny T and Chippy over 9 furlongs and 25 yards (1,820m) on April 13. Rainsville is expected to run an improved race here.
5. ALL FOR LOVE: (4 ch f by Nuclear Wayne – Princess Sallema) – Finished second behind Get A Pespi at 6 ½ furlongs on April 28 in the Temperence Oaks Trophy. All For Love is going to appreciate this extended journey and could go one better.
6. JUSTIN BIDEN: (5 ch g by Lion Tamer – Wagon Wheel) – Is going to be left behind here.
7. BABYLIKE: (5 dkb m by Savoy Stomp – Ladylike) – Finished second to the unbeaten American-bred Funcaandun at a mile on April 27.
Babylike can upset the applecart here.
8. STOMP THE RHYTHM: (5 b c by Savoy Stomp – River Rhythm) – Cannot be recommended for a winning run. Note: Tongue-tie on.
9. POSITIVE ID: (6 b h by Bern Identity – Bubble Gal Bubble) – Cannot win here.
10. ZION: (6 b h by Nasheet – She’s a Charm) – Can safely be bypassed here.
