Back This Cat Is Back to recoup

The well-bred Tabasco Cat/Renew The Dream colt was attempting to give conqueror Mandela nine kilos last time out over 1750 metres.

But this time he will only be giving the Barbados-bred gelding one kilo and over 1600 metres on the turf course should be backed with confidence to recoup.

It will not be a two-horse race by any stretch of the imagination with Royal Miss Privilege, Outswinger, Carnival Messiah and the improving Alfie Meh Boy holding the engagement.

Racing today begins at 11.45 am with an 1800 metres race for West Indies-bred three-year-old maidens on the turf course.

And Winnie should be handing in her maiden tag, but Eye Candy looms a big danger along with Brilliant Star and Timberlake.

The two-year-old maidens take the stage next over 1100 metres and the highly thought of Sky High looks like the one to beat, but will have most to fear from the quick-stepping Bold Mover and well-bred Andthistoowillpass.

The second race for the maiden juveniles over a similar 1100 metres trip could be a toss-up between Sher Khan who has been showing good form at gallops, Mystery Girl, Jamaican-bred Diplomacy and Adios Amigos.

Fleet-footed Rohana from the Waltger Debysingh barn which is owned by The Fun syndicate could be a very live outsider.

Soul Asylum has been withdrawn from the Restricted Handicap over 1350 metres.

Now it will pay to follow newcomer Buckden who created quite a favourable impression when finishing second to Bright King last time out.

Movietowne Magic, runner-up to Dinner Silence on Saturday last, Jamaican-bred Uram, Prince Charming, Reef Knot and Celebrity Jet are all in the line up and are worth a flutter.
