Greek Princess primed for Gleneagle

This Shaffique Khan-trained filly galloped with authority over 800 metres, coming out of the boxes to be timed in 48.77 seconds yesterday morning on a sloppy track, and must hold a great chance of capturing the top slice of the purse in the 1800 metres race.

And the day’s feature Santa Rosa Dash over 1200 metres, with only five horses engaged following the withdrawal of Indian Izzi, promises an exciting finish.

Twice Infallible showed some steam in a 1000 metres gallop coming back in a handy one minute 07.81 seconds.

And with in-form stablemate Invincibility, quick-stepper Ready Set Jet, Dauntless Hero and Punto A Punto holding the engagement this sprint will be worth going places to see.

The ten-race programme is rich in content, and will be another nightmare to turfites in spotting winners.

Opening event of the day timed for noon, begins the brain-teaser with Coconut Boy, Straight Ahead, Tasa Habita, newcomer Wild About Becca and Stravinskys Secret engaged.

The Starter Allowance over 1100 metres on the turf course also promises to tax turfites’ knowledge. In this seven-horse field, speedsters Salsa Moves, Enchanted Lake, Getdjobdone, Fortunate Flag and Carib Time holds the engagement.

And the day ends with another ticklish 1750 metres race for three-year-olds in which Jacobite, narrowly beaten in the Ibis, Fresh Prospect, Harbour Master, and Adios Amigos are set to renew rivalry.
