The feature event on Day 24 of the Arima Race Club (ARC) racing season the grade two Sprint Stakes over 1,350 metres has attracted five runners but it will be a very competitive event.
The highly regarded Glenn Mendez trained Carbon Fiber, which is unbeaten, will put his record on the line. He is expected to go close for Wilmer Galviz for the in-form stable.
The one that they will all have to beat is the Shaffique Khan trained Holy Man which has now won his last two starts. He seems to be getting better with every run and could be difficult to peg back with Ricky Jadoo in the irons. Champion trainer John O'Brien has two entered the disappointing Kodo and Thisoneisforron which is expected to go close.
Post time for the first event on the ARC nine race programme is 12.15 pm.
Here are the declared runners, riders and weights for Saturday's nine-race card.
