THE feature 1300 metres race for horses three-year-old and over rated 70-50 on Arima Race Club Day 5 at Santa Rosa Park, Arima, today is set up for a thrill-packed finish.

Winner of the top slice of the $33,000 purse should come from among improving Mostly Watched, Mike’s Sugar and Hey Big Fella.

But still there are speedsters like Roman Anthem, Sweetie Jan and Candy Man holding the engagement. Another good betting race will be the fourth, a “claimer” with a field of eight entered.

The one to beat Dionysus will win this race, but there are Mister Kingston, Trust N Confidence, Officer Ike and Indian King, all capable of scoring an upset.

For turfites favouring the Hi5 wagering, there is a $25,373.25 single winner bonus beckoning in the third race of the seven-race programme.

This one is a mad scramble over 1600 metres on the turf course, with the likely quintet being Enigmatic, Precious Diamond, Mary’s Girl Chile, Bananachips and Island Star.

The very competitive card gets underway at Santa Rosa Park from 1.30 pm.
