Movietowne Magic heads ‘Restricted’ weights

MOVIETOWNE MAGIC has been allotted the top impost of 56.5 kilos for the Restricted Handicap on the Arima Race Club Day 14 card at Santa Rosa Park, Arima, on Saturday. The bay son of DJ Cat/Double Pump, who has been slow into stride on leaving the boxes in both his latest starts since his return from injury, has been asked to hand out from one kilo to Naturelly Classy and Golden Honour, to 12 kilos to bottom-weight Game High in the 1200 metres sprint. Lovely Honoree, having staved off a determined challenge from Movietowne Magic when filling the runner-up position behind Isle Be True in a Starter Allowance dash last raceday, follows in the weights with 53.5 kilos.

The Harold Chadee inmate, although having gotten the better of the exchanges with Movietowne Magic at level weights last time out, surprisingly enjoys a three-kilo advantage in Saturday’s race. Honor Bound who has been racing sparingly because of niggling problems will carry 52.5 kilo in the sprint attracting a field of 12 yesterday. The Kenneth De Silva Jnr inmate will carry one kilos more than the Cyril “Patch” Arneaud pair of Rhythm Divine and Piece Of Cake.

Set to make a second appearance this season in the competitive looking contest is Salsa Moves. This Maniram “Boboy” Maharaj-owned and bred three-year-old, who rewrote the record books with a blistering 59.3 seconds performance over 1000 metres and was a nominee with Pave The Way for a Jetsam Award in the Juvenile colts and gelding category, will line up with the penny stamp weight of 46.5 kilos. Following are framed race, entries and weights:
