DESMOND SHAND's PRINCE OF LAW has been working sweetly in the mornings and looks set to win Monday's New Year's Day Trophy race at Caymanas Park.

Anthony Nunes' AD INFINITUM is down in class and will be hard to beat in the 11-furlong CTL Fan Appreciation Day Trophy for Overnight Allowance runners and the McKay Security Trophy should be won by Rowan Mathie's SIR KNIGHT.

Outclassed in the Governor's Cup and Derby by the top three-year-olds in mid-year, PRINCE OF LAW returned on September 30, but was a disqualified winner after hindering CALABASH BAY a furlong out.

He made no mistake in his next start, clocking a speedy 1:33.0 for 1500 metres and has been primed to win back-to-back races, clocking bullet works whenever he's asked to step it up at exercise by his trainer.

Champion trainer Wayne DaCosta's pair of TWENTY NINE and BULLET TRAIN is expected to keep PRINCE OF LAW busy as they're both coming to run from in front.

BULLET TRAIN is suspect at the distance with 57.0 kilos but TWENTY NINE led and stayed on reasonably well for third at 1300 metres behind LA PRESIDENTA and JET BLASTER earlier this month.

However, PRINCE OF LAW should outstay both of DaCosta's horses as he has pace and speed.

Jackpots guaranteed

Today's 11-race card has more than $3m worth of carryovers and guaranteed jackpots on offer. The Pick-9, which will start at $2.2m, could swell to $3m for Monday if not collared this afternoon.

Bettors hunting Monday's Super-6 and Pick-9 jackpots should bank on AD INFINITUM and SIR KNIGHT to start the year right.

The 1820-metre McKay Security Trophy looks tailor-made for SIR KNIGHT, who failed by short-heads to win his last two races and should beat SIR KISSON LAL, who he outfinished when storming from off the pace at 1300 metres in October behind RISING MOON.

AD INFINITUM, a runner-up to MIRACLE MAN in last year's Derby and St. Leger, clearly showed he had the beating of Overnight Allowance company when returning off an eight-month lay-up in August to get the better of PASSA PASSA and UNTOUCHABLE at 1500 metres.

Back down in class, AD INFINITUM should have no match as only one of his rivals, JACK SPARROW, has won at the level for the past six months.

Track Price Plus Pick-6 players should close their bets with the debutant IVAN THE TERRIBLE in the opening event at 1200 metres, LIGHT MY FIRE in the third at the same distance and TWIN STAR in the nightpan at 1000 metres straight.
