Unbelievable Force to return to winning ways

Unbelievable Force to return to winning ways

Unbelievable Force is poised to bounce back with a win in this afternoon’s $1.25-million Millard Ziadie Memorial Cup feature, an Overnight Allowance contest for three-year-olds and upward over five-and-a-half furlongs (1,100m) on the 10-race card at Caymanas Park.

After being unlucky last time out, when her rider Tajay Suckoo idled in the saddle, allowing Unspun to snatch the win, Unbelievable Force should now be a comfortable winner with champion jockey Raddesh Roman in the saddle.

Trained by Philip Feanny, Unbelievable Force has shown impressive form and is the one to beat in this contest. With Roman’s expertise, she should be able to overcome her rivals and claim the top spot. Given her previous performance, where she turned for home with a strong lead and was six-and-a-half lengths clear before Suckoo’s idling allowed Unspun to catch up, Unbelievable Force looks set to shine with better handling this time around.

With her speed, agility, and Roman’s skilled riding, Unbelievable Force has all the ingredients to succeed. Will she deliver and claim the win, or will another horse upset the odds? The stage is set for an exciting contest at Caymanas Park.

The race is positioned as the ninth event on the card with a post time of 5:05 pm, with the first race starting at 11:50 am.

Looking at the other runners in the 14-horse field, Girvano, Florindia, Perfect Brew, and Money Market seem the likely ones to be considered as potential threats to Unbelievable Force.

Girvano finished second behind Divine Force over nine furlongs (1,800m) on May 10 and one can expect him to run another good race. Girvano’s performance over a longer distance suggests he has the stamina, but can he adapt to the shorter distance here? His trainer has done a good job preparing him, and he might just surprise with a strong run.

Florindia, an American-bred runner makes her local debut here. She has worked well and expected to run well. Her American breeding might give her an edge, and she’s worth keeping an eye on.

Perfect Brew finished third behind Unspun and Unbelievable Force on May 3 and could run close again despite a shorter distance. Perfect Brew’s recent form has been good, and he might just repeat his performance with a strong finish. He’s shown good speed and stamina, and he’s worth considering.

Money Market is a speed merchant who is expected to play a prominent role and finish well.
