No stopping Peckus Out

UNCLE D & ME (Wesley Henry) wins the ninth race over 1400 metres at Caymanas Park on Wednesday. - IAN ALLEN/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

ELEVEN RACES are down for decision at Caymanas Park tomorrow and with the Super-6 boasting a $625,949.55 carryover, a payout of close to $1.5 million looks a real possibility.

There is also a Pick-9 carryover, but this has not moved from the $1 million guaranteed minimum. The Pick-9 embraces races three to 11, the Super-6 from race six to 11. We look at the Super-6.

It gets underway with a three-year-old race over 1200 metres to be contested by 12 starters, including top contenders BULLET TRAIN, TRIPLE ACCOUNT, CLASSY BOY PETE and the U.S.-bred debutante FOUND IN THE MIST, to be ridden by leading all-time jockey Winston Griffiths for 14-time champion trainer Philip Feanny.

FOUND IN THE MIST has caught the eye at exercise and could get off the mark right away. However, the experience of her stable-companion CLASSY BOY PETE and BULLET TRAIN should amount for something and it could come down to these two.

NO LUCK IN RUNNING

The Wayne DaCosta-trained BULLET TRAIN had no luck in running when finishing a good third to FIRE WORKS over the round five course recently and should stave off Trevor Simpson's mount CLASSY BOY PETE, who has worked well in preparation for this race.

I have a hunch that NEWFOUND GLORY, who wasn't disgraced behind straight specialist HEAVENLY DREAMS recently, could surface in the seventh race over the straight five course for maiden four-year-olds and up, but LADY POOJA and the sparingly raced PLEASURE CRUISE should ensure a close contest.

Recent winner CORDITE is jumping out of his skin with fitness at present and ought to be followed in the eighth race over 1820m. He can expect stiff opposition from ME LLAMO and the down-in-class GOOD TO GO, both of whom are ideally suited to the distance.

The last three races should be won by MANISH, recent winner THUNDER SQUAD (to repeat) in the Frankie Frazzer Memorial Cup feature over 1300 metres and the very fit PECKUS OUT in the 11th and final.

Their respective dangers are MYBLUBELLE in the ninth, free running DIGI N' JIGGY in the 10th and the well-prepared HAIL THE I in the nightpan.
