The in-form Officer Ike will attempt to get back on the winning way when he goes to post for Saturday's feature event over 1,200 metres at Santa Rosa Park, Arima. The top event is for horses rated 85-65 and carries a purse of $48,500. Freddie Manrrique will have the leg-up on the Lester Alexis-trained horse and looks likely to take all the beating. The speedy Invictus which has changed trainers is poised in pole position one. His trainer Michael Carew (Jnr) will have him ready to run. The one which looks to be the main threat to Officer Ike is the Derick Mosca-trained Slippery Sam. When entries were taken yesterday, 88 horses were entered for the Arima Race Club's Day 18 presentation. Post time is 1 pm.
