Champion trainer John O'Brien will be going after the feature, $100,000-purse Derek Cozier Memorial over 1200 metres on Saturday, with a two-pronged attack.
O'Brien has Chase The Dragon and Hyat Princess engaged and the pair must have outstanding chances to continue the winning way of the stable.
Also in the six-horse lineup is the St Ann's Stakes third place finisher Heidi Tzippi, which ran a brave race in defeat, behind debutante Indian Medicine on the turf track. On the main track, Heidi Tzippi is expected to run an even better race and must be on the short-list, come Saturday.
Salome has flattered to deceive but has shown ability and cannot be written off, just yet.
In the undercard, over 1300 metres the Shivam Maharaj owned Gabby's Gold will throw down the gauntlet to Sacred Trust, in what should be a scorcher at Santa Rosa Park, Arima.
When entries were taken yesterday, a total of 86 horses were entered for the Arima Race Club's (ARC) Day 16, ten race programme.
Post time for the first event is 11:45 am.
