Mamaguy is my sporting selection to win today's Restricted Handicap over 1,200 metres on the main track at Santa Rosa Park, Arima. The Kenneth De Silva trained three-year-old filly has improved with every run and in her last start finished well to be third behind Exquisite Touch and Officer Ike.
Today, Mamaguy is well weighted with 50.5 kilos and must have an outstanding chance of turning in his maiden certificate
Former champion jockey Brian Harding, who landed his fifth Guineas winner aboard Grand Riviere in last Monday's Grade One-Carib Brewery Limited Guineas, will be aboard Hurricane Watch for trainer Harriram Gobin. The 2008 Santa Rosa Classic winner Hurricane Watch will race with 56 kilos but must be respected. He is a classy sort and will go close.Donut Prince which will be ridden by apprentice Prayven Badrie must have a decent chance in the event. This horse not been a model of consistency but with his weight lightened by his rider claims Donut Prince must go close.
Rewardin heaven from the Derick Mosca Stables must be given a great deal of respect. This horse created quite a stir when winning on his debut. He has shown form in patches thereafter but if back to his best will make them all run.However, my vote goes to the Antonio Navarro owned Mamaguy.There will be no turf racing today at Santa Rosa Park.Post time for the first event on Day 20 of Arima Race Club (ARC) racing season is 12.45 pm.
