DaCosta duo to take aim at Come Dance With Me |
|||||
Jimmie, STAR Racing Writer CHAMPION trainer Wayne DaCosta's pair of POLLY B and SILVER CLOUD will on Saturday attempt to put the brakes on Dwight Chen's COME DANCE WITH ME in the 1400-metre Pick-3 Super Challenge Trophy. DaCosta has three runners, add ALI BABA, among nine entries released by Caymanas Track Limited yesterday afternoon. COME DANCE WITH ME remains ante-post favourite after landing the October 6 Cash Pot Trophy at 1200 metres. The speedy filly is also chasing a $1m bonus to sweep the three-race Supreme Ventures Limited Two-Year-Old Series, completed by December's Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes. Though she comprehensively beat DaCosta's ALI BABA in two wins from as many starts, COME DANCE WITH ME has never faced the improving duo of POLLY B and SILVER CLOUD. POLLY B, in particular, is unbeaten in two starts, clocking a fast 58.3 at 1000 metres straight on his October 11 debut. He returned to post a stakes-record 1:18.3 for 1300 metres on Superstakes Day and has impressed every day at exercise since. All nine runners were on the exercise track at the weekend, mainly on Sunday when POLLY B and COME DANCE WITH ME excited onlookers. POLLY B put in a bullet work of 1:00.3 in a flat five-furlong gallop, distancing himself from stablemate ALSO CORRECT. COME DANCE WITH ME was fitted with a figure-eight in which she had won the Cash Pot Trophy. She galloped out of the mile chute where Saturday's race will start and clocked 1:01.0 for the last five furlongs. Pick-3 Super Challenge entries ALACRANN 56.0, Anthony Nunes ALI BABA 56.0, Wayne DaCosta GOLD SCREW 56.0, Lorenzo Robinson PIZARRO 56.0, Richard Azan POLLY B 56.0, Wayne DaCosta SILVER CLOUD 56.0, Wayne DaCosta TROJAN 56.0, Anthony Nunes COME DANCE WITH ME 54.0, Dwight Chen DREAMCOMETRUE 54.0, Gary Subratie |
