A STERN TEST

A STERN TEST

SHE’S A Maneater, one of the most accomplished thoroughbreds to ever run at Caymanas Park, will be honoured with the annual renewal of the trophy race in her name.

Eight talented runners are down to compete in the three-year-old and upwards Graded Stakes/Open Allowance event going one mile or 1,600 metres.

Below is the analysis of the runners and their chances of winning the $1.5-million contest. This analysis is done in post-position order.

1. EROY (USA): (5 b h by Khozan – Golden Bucket) – Returned to the top grade on July 30, placing seventh in the Eros Trophy behind King Arthur over 7 furlongs (1400m). Eroy faces King Arthur again slightly better off in the handicaps. Eroy from the one draw can go in front or can be settled close behind the leader (s), before striking when called on. An improved but not a winning effort is expected from Eroy.

2. KING ARTHUR: ( 5 b g by Natural Selection – Geisha’s Art) – Came on well in the final furlong to win the Eros Trophy (July 30), beating Calculus and Money Monster. King Arthur blows hot and cold most of the time, yet another got effort is anticipated with a mile to his liking. Note, with the constant rain being experienced across the island, if it rains on Saturday and the She’s A Maneater is contested on a sloppy track, the likelihood of King Arthur winning is greatly increased. He thoroughly enjoys wet underfoot conditions.

3. SHE’S MY DESTINY: (4 ch f by Bern Identity – Woman Is Boss) – Did well to reach the top level after back-to-back wins in the Overnight Allowance grouping. She’s My Destiny was stretched out to a mile on last (August 13) and summarily dispatched much weaker opposition than she is facing tomorrow. This filly has speed and will more than likely vie for the lead. Nothing more is expected from She’s My Destiny.

4. RUNAWAY ALGO (USA): (3 ch c by Algorithms – Misunify) – Was expected to win the Eros Trophy on July 30 over 7 furlongs but the American-bred runner finished in fourth place, a length and three quarters behind King Arthur. That was a lukewarm effort by Runaway Algo, who can be counted on to produce a better attempt in this trophy race. This American-bred colt tries a mile for the first time, the longest trip of his seven-race career. He can lead, and can also be close to the leaders, before making a bid for victory in the lane. A better effort is expected from Runaway Algo in the She’s A Maneater. Note, Runaway Algo races with the visor on.

5. I AM FRED (USA): (4 b g Golden Lad – Happy Hailey) – There and thereabouts in most of his races. I Am Fred is the fly on the wall in this trophy race. He is capable of running close enough behind the leader (s) and is known for his strong finishing burst. I Am Fred has a good outsider’s chance of winning this one but he has to put every step right.

6. JORDON REIGN’S (USA): (4 b g by Mosler – Dearie Be Good) – Improved and talented runner who completed a hat trick of wins on August 13. Jordon Reign’s races over a mile for the first time, in fact, the longest journey he has been asked to run in his eight-race career has been 6 1/2 furlongs. Yet based on his style of running on, this US-bred gelding should be able to deal with a mile comfortably. Jordan Reign’s is heading to the top, and this trophy race should be another of the stepping stones to achieving that feat. Tomorrow we will know how good Jordon Reign’s really is.

7. MONEY MONSTER: (5 b g by Casual Trick – She’s Traditional) – Has no chance of winning this one.

8. HOVER CRAFT: (12 b g by He’stherealthing – Royal Pizzaz) – This old-timer just keeps on going and going. However, he cannot match strides with this younger and more talented set of rivals.
