Calabash Bay on target for big run

by Jimmie, Star Racing Writer

THE combination of title-chasing jockey Oneil Mullings and trainer Dennis Lee has a sweet double lined-up on tomorrow's nine-race card, starting with SIR KHAN in the opening event at a mile and OLE KING COLE in the sixth at 1200 metres.

SIR KHAN romped home at 1300 metres on Derby Day, after being pushed down in class to $365,000 claiming by Lee.

Back among $400,000 runners, SIR KHAN should have no problems as when he last raced at the level on April 14, he kept HERECOMESFUGIE honest from gate to wire at a mile, beaten by a little over two lengths.

On paper, SIR KHAN appears to be facing a tough bunch but his three main rivals, ALL FIRED UP, GUIDING LIGHT and JACK BE GOOD, all seem to be a bit off-colour since changing barns.

CAPTAIN BONE ran a big time on last at a mile but has been asked to leap three classes up the ladder and will be exposed.

Mullings, who is set to go off on a couple days after having his number taken down aboard HEZA RANKING on Saturday, will want to put at least two wins on the board in his absence and OLE KING COLE should close the double.

He might seem to be going a bit short of his best distance but his main rivals are going a bit longer than they're used to winning at.

In addition, it is highly likely that QUEEN TAMARA and ASKAWOMAN, five and a half-furlong horses, at best, will run themselves into the ground, setting it up for OLE KING COLE, who has been fitted with the blinkers to keep him sharp.

Jackpots at $1.5m

Vin Edwards' WILD GLITZ crashed all Pick-9 bets on Saturday, resulting in a $1m carryover to tomorrow's nine-race card, starting at the first event.

However, there were 24 winning Super-6 combinations, each picking up a little over $25,000, sending that bet back to its $500,000 guaranteed minimum.

CALABASH BAY gets the ideal distance to come away with a win in the eighth race, an Open Allowance event over 1300 metres.

In March, he scored back-to-back wins, beating COMMANDING LIGHT in a 1200-metre Overnight Allowance event before going up to Open Allowance 21 days later where he upstaged stablemate LA REINA at 1300 metres.

That was no fluke for CALABASH BAY as LA REINA continues to be a force to reckon with, campaigning between Open Allowance and Graded Stakes.

Philip Feanny's CLASSY BOY PETE and Noel Ennevor's MEDICAL REPORT are both dangerous customers but are disadvantaged by the distance and weight respectively.

MEDICAL REPORT runs his best races between 1100 and 1200 metres and should come up short over the final half-furlong as he did when CALABASH BAY rushed by him to take second behind MUSICAL MAESTRO on May 26.

In addition, topweight 57.0 kilos doesn't make Paul Francis' job any easier whereas Nunes did the smart thing by calling in a top-flight apprentice, Javour Simpson, to slip away two kilos off CALABASH BAY, who will run with 52.0
