CHAMPION trainer Wayne DaCosta's dominance of two-year-old races is set to continue tomorrow afternoon when MR SKILL, without a doubt the quickest youngster in the land, takes on eight rivals in the 1200-metre Dye Job Sprint.

The DaCosta speedster has won three of his six starts including a brilliant 1100-metre race run in 1:05.2 on August 27. He won the MegaFone Juvenile Sprint in style on Superstakes Day, November 10, posting a time of 1:19.2 after blinding rivals with speed down the backstretch.

Considering his last loss, at 1200 metres on October 13, was against stablemate THE REAL STREAM, who has cemented himself as the favourite for the December 26 Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes over a mile, the zippy MR SKILL has no equal at the distance tomorrow and must be a five-star banker for any sane punter.

DaCosta and jockey Dane Nelson, who will do duties aboard MR SKILL, should also combine to land the ninth race with RIGGED TO WIN, a 1200-metre event for the Jamaica Racehorse Trainers Asso-ciation Trophy.

Barring the trio of STEEL PRINCE, TIMOTHY SCOTT and NATURAL AT-LANTA, horses which went off on lengthy lay-ups at some point over the last year, RIGGED TO WIN has consistently beaten, without exception, every other runner in the line-up and should finally land her second win tomorrow.

Since beating maidens by almost five lengths back in July, RIGGED TO WIN has never been worse than third in her last seven starts, placing second against better horses in four consecutive races after getting off the mark.

Unless one of her old rivals, show vast improvement, RIGGED TO WIN will be among non-winners-of-three in her next outing.

Jackpots at $1.6m

Apprentice Carlton Malcolm was on fire on Wednesday, booting home back-to-back 8-1 shots, REGGAE RUCKUS and RIGGETO in the third and fourth races respectively.

The pint-sized lightweight rider returned to land the 10th event with UGOTA-BELIEVE at odds of 3-1 to hand one skilful Pick-9 punter a whopping payout of $2.9m.

The Super-6 was caught cheaply and paid $1,235, sending both jackpots back to their minimum payouts of $1m and $500,000 respectively for tomorrow's meet.

However, there is a Hi-Five carryover of $179,063.30 to the 10th event in which Everald Francis' PRINCESS SHEILA looks set to outsprint rivals at 1000 metres round.

The speedy four-year-old bay filly last raced in October, bidding for a hat-trick of wins, but walked out of the gate and came flying at the end, failing by a length and a half to catch DEVIL WOMAN and IMPERIALIST at 1000 metres straight.

Malcolm is set to continue his win streak with down-in-class RAINBOW TRAIN and in-form NUMERO UNO in the second and third races respectively. RAINBOW TRAIN will be closing too fast for rivals and NUMERO UNO at 48.0 kilos will be tough to beat even though TIME OF MY LIFE and TRIPLE ACCOUNT are speedy customers.

Fitznahum Williams' MR THEOPILUS kept pace with stablemate ALSAFRA at exercise recently and should give his trainer a second maiden win in two race meets when he faces six rivals in the fourth at 1000 metres straight.
