Big bonus could be on the cards Sunday
STILL reeling from Saturday's Reggae 6, which opens at $8.8 million, has no standout banker, a turn-off for deep-pocketed bettors hoping to attempt big spends.
This almost ensures a big Sunday jackpot, owing to MARCH AND SHOOT's 43-1 stunner in last Saturday's fifth race, which resulted in only six winning Reggae 6 tickets each getting $852,393 payouts.
As such, punters could be aiming at a single-winner bonus in excess of $10m on Sunday.
Start Sunday by banking five-year-old speedster PHOENIX RISEN to get the better of three-year-old RESTORATION at four furlongs straight.
PHOENIX RISEN gets a perfect draw on the faster stands' side with his favourite rider, Paul Francis, who knows how to play dead for the first half of races out the five-straight chute.
However, take no chances with the second, $250,000 claimers going seven furlongs, most of whom hardly gets the distance. SIX AVENUE has been showing good speed and must be among SUNSHINE CAT and KINGSWOOD, another speedster.
Similarly treat the third at five and a half furlongs. PIP, off-the break AWESOME PRINCE, speedy ESUSE MEGOODBY and heavily touted SLAM must all be used.
It should be smooth sailing among more-predictable three-year-olds for the next two races. CHINITA ESTRELLA should be rewarded for a brave run against HAPPY FORCE in the BGLC-TOBA Millionaires Series at five furlongs straight on last.
LEGEND OF ZARRO should run rivals into the ground in the fifth at six and a half furlongs before SHE'S MYHEDGEFUND completes formalities in the Reggae 6 closer at seven furlongs.
