With Perfect Circle scratched from today's feature, the Derick Mosca-trained Decisive Point is my nap selection to win today's feature 1,750-metre Starter Allowance event, which is the day's opener for owner, Shivam Maharaj, at Santa Rosa Park, Arima.
Based on his improvement and his good run last time out behind Eto, Decisive Point should have moved forward sufficiently to earn his berth in the winner's enclosure. Decisive Point has been aimed high but with his sights now lowered, should prove too strong for Carib Guineas winner, Santa Rosa Boy and Dream Girl. Post time for the first event on Day 40 at the ARC is 12.30 pm.
