Bankers to lay solid platform FOR Reggae 6

UPENDED by trainer Colin Ferguson's rare two-timer on Sunday', especially Reggae 6 opener, DIMETRY P, who stunned at odds of 23-1, leaving 222 tickets standing, bettors will be going all out for Saturday's mandatory payout, which should swell way past its starting point of $16.4 million.

Saturday's Reggae 6 appears to be a perfect pyramid, two bankers for starters, a back-up in the third, after which the base should be supported by spreading bets evenly to the sixth and closing event.

It's hard to oppose ABREATHOFFRESHAIR in the Reggae 6 opener at five and a half furlongs after being nailed at six furlongs by PLAYFAIR two Saturdays ago. ABREATHOFFRESHAIR flew out of the pack coming off the home turn and appeared home and dried before PLAYFAIR fell out of the sky on the outside with Dick Cardenas.

Former top-class sprinter GOD OF LOVE easily handled $700,000 claimers on last and should similarly dispatch $350,000 company in the second, despite what must be serious issues for his connections to have halved the nine-year-old's selling price in an optional selling race.

NOBLE SOVEREIGN and ROCK-OLA should not be separated in the third. ROCKOLA won easily on his second run off a nine-month break, beating four-year-old maidens on September 14.

NOBLE SOVEREIGN was slowly into stride when beaten by HICKORY SLIM at seven furlongs two Sundays past. Whereas ROCK-OLA has raced against better, hence his easy win, NOBLE SOVEREIGN could very well be the sounder animal having raced 14 times this season.

American T SWZZLE will try running I'M OUTSTANDING and HAZELNUT off their legs in the fourth at six furlongs. However, HAZELNUT, who was spotted shying from sand being kicked at her behind SASH ON, must be sharper in visor for her third run off an eight-month break.

The winner of the fifth will emerge from the trio of MISS MONEYPENNY and the foreigners, UNRULY MO and RICORICORICO. A lot will depend on which of the three makes it to the faster stands' side as opposed to who will dart to the slower inner rail, giving up the track bias at five furlongs straight.

Take no risks in the sixth by carrying sneaky JACK DANIEL, PASSWORD, WORKOUT CRU, TUTS and the horse with the track bias in his favour, GREY COMMANDER, drawn widest at post 11.
