DEBUTANTE DANGER
Originally published by Jamaica Observer Read the original
Eight juveniles will line up for the $1.01-million Caymanas Park Two-Year-Old Sprint tomorrow, a native-bred maiden special weight over 6 furlongs (1,200m).
It is a wide-open race on paper, with two first-time starters adding plenty of intrigue to a field that already has some promising form.
Here is how they stack up:
1. AWHODAT: (2 b f by Bern Identity - The Genesis) - Has been knocking at the door with a second and two thirds from three starts. She does not look like a winner in waiting, but she is honest enough to be in the mix again for a share.
2. AGAIN AND AGAIN: (2 ch f by Sensational Slam - Wiedersehen) - The well-anticipated debutante. She has been training very well coming into this and looks ready to make a big first impression. A win on debut would surprise no one.
3. YEET: (2 b f by Kettle Corn - Runallday) - Has shown little in two starts so far and will need a major turnaround to figure here.
4. GLAMA GIRL: (2 b f by Bern Identity - Indian Bluff) - The consistent one. She keeps turning up and running her race, and she should once again be good enough to grab a piece of the pie.
5. GENNA GENNA LINKS: (2 ch f by Kettle Corn - Golden Glory) - The other debutante. She has been training fairly well and should run a creditable race first time out, though she may need the experience.
6.IN YAH SKINS: (2 b g by Bold Conquest - Kitty Hawk) - A nicely bred gelding making his first start. This will be a learning run for him, and he should benefit greatly from the exposure.
7. CHOOSE JAMAICA: (2 ch f by Aveenu Malcainu - Raise Your Voice) - Was beaten 19 lengths into fourth on debut on October 17. Little improvement is expected here.
8. CLOCKY TEE: (2 b c by Bern Identity - Miss Formality) - He gave a good account of himself on debut, finishing a neck second to Pop Rocket over 4 1/2 furlongs (900m) on October 31. With the step up to 6 furlongs in his favour, Clocky Tee will be gunning for top honours here.
