She’s A Maneater preps well for Derby

The brilliant filly She’s A Maneater returned from injury in imperious form when she easily brushed aside rivals by over four lengths in the top-rated $1.15-million Open Allowance event on the 12-race card at Caymanas Park yesterday.

The Wayne DaCosta-conditioned

She’s A Maneater, who missed the Jamaica Oaks in late April due to a muscle strain she sustained in exercise prior to the race, showed no sign of distress on her return when putting away

Another Bullet and

Hover Craft in a decent time of 1:38.2 for a mile (1,600m). It was the filly’s final run before the Jamaica Derby which is set to be run on Saturday, June 24.Ridden by Omar Walker,

She’s A Maneater sat in second position behind

Another Bullet (Odeen Edwards) for most of the way until approaching the half-mile (800m) when the 1000 Guineas winner challenged for the lead.Turning for home,

Another Bullet still had the upper hand and began to draw away a bit but the determined

She’s A Maneater, who hugged the inside rails, responded well when asked for an extra effort from Walker. She pulled alongside

Another Bullet at the furlong (200m) pole for a brief moment before powering home to score emphatically.

Another Bullet just held on for second money from the fast-finishing

Hover Craft, under Jevvanne Erwin, in the three-year-old and upwards event.Bred and owned by Winston Kong,

She’s A Maneater (

Natural Selection –

Ahwhofah) was winning for the fourth time this season from as many starts and seventh overall with one second-place finish from eight career outings. Her lifetime earnings now stand at over $8.5 million.Former champion jockey Shane Ellis continued to ride in good form as he booted home three winners. Ellis won aboard

Capturemyship (first race) for trainer Richard Azan,

Connor (second race) for owner and trainer Raymond Townsend and

Action Man (11th race) for trainer Lorenzo Robinson.

Aurelia’s Summer, trained by Anthony Nunes, and

Vice Royalty, trained by Gary Subratie, won both sections respectively of the John Clifton Wright Memorial Cup feature, a maiden special weight event for native-bred three-year-old fillies over six furlongs (1,200m).

Vice Royalty was the second winner on the day for Subratie as he earlier won with

Great Faith (Paul Francis) in the eighth race.Racing continues on Wednesday next with a 10-race programme.
