Commandant to brush aside rivals in Fan Appreciation Day Trophy

Commandant to brush aside rivals in Fan Appreciation Day Trophy

Seven horses including the highly rated Commandant are down to face the starter in tomorrow’s 2025 $1.25-million Supreme Ventures Racing and Entertainment Limited (SVREL) Fan Appreciation Day Trophy.

The Overnight Allowance race for three-year-olds and upward will venture over 9 furlongs and 25 yards (1,820m).

Below is the analysis of each runner and their chances of winning.

 

1. NEO STAR: (6 b h by Neolithic – Angel Dreams) – Now takes orders from trainer Anthony Nunes. Neo Star has won over this distance before in 1:54.4 and a reproduction of that effort could see him getting into the frame here.

 

2. BANADURA: (4 b f by Casual Trick – Esperanza) – Is not expected to win here.

 

3. INTRESTNTIMESAHED: (4 b c by Bold Conquest – My Friend Lucy) – Has been struggling since his win in the Jamaica St Leger in July of 2024. Intrestntimesahead is, however, expected to run well here.

 

4. EAZY PEAZY: (5 b h by Casual Trick – Baby P) – Has no chance of winning this one.

 

5. PROVOCATIVA (USA): (6 dk b/br m by Prontonico – Audacious Chloe) – Is going to be left behind in this one.

 

6. POSITIVE ID: (7 b m Bern Identity – Bubble Gal Bubble) – Based on current form, Positive ID cannot be recommended for a winning run.

 

7. COMMANDANT (USA): (5 b h by Girvin – Alotofappeal) – Obviously the horse to beat on paper. Commandant finished a length and a quarter in third place behind
Funcaandun and Legacy Isle in the Mouttet Mile on December 7, 2024. That run alone is more than enough to easily brush these aside.
