Never Despair stands out on knotty Sunday Reggae 6 card

SUNDAY’s Reggae 6 is laden with tripwires for the mandatory payout, which could soar past $20 million after tomorrow’s meet, which is unlikely to have a single-winning ticket at the end of the day.
Favourites could be wolves in sheep clothing, certainly the first four races, events in which nothing should be left to chance.
Sunday’s best shot at a banker is Peter-John Parsard’s NEVER DESPAIR in the fifth at five furlongs round.
After placing third behind EASY MONEY and BRAHMA BULL on his three-year-old debut, on February 25, NEVER DESPAIR returned off a near 16-month lay-up this summer to beat four-year-old maidens at four furlongs straight.
Stepping up to face non-winners of two races, July 4, NEVER DESPAIR found only his imported stablemate, CONFIDENCE IS HIGH, better at five furlongs straight.
