Bright King is ready to sparkle

Returning to racing after an eight-month lay-off, Harold Chadee’s speedster rattled through a 400 metres gallop in a very good 24.1 seconds yesterday morning.

Also flashing some speed on the gallops yesterday was Broad Street who holds the engagement in the 1350 metres for maiden three-year-olds, stepping 600 metres in 38.2 seconds.

And Dennyhasaglock who is in the day’s opener reached the post in 39.2 seconds for a similar run.

Turfites will have only an eight-race programme on which to wager.

But they will get a good guage of the Bajan raiders for the Royal Oak, with Top Lady engaged in the day’s finale the Conditional Handicap “A” over 1750 metres, and Piarco who takes on the maidens in the 1350 metres race.
