Get a good start with El Profesor

EL PROFESOR won a fast 1000 metres round race on January 23 and is poised to make it two in a row when he runs in tomorrow’s second race, Race One of the Sunrise Six at Caymanas Park.

Trained by Patrick Lynch, EL PROFESOR romped that event in 59.2 seconds. The distance has been increased by 200 metres, but EL PROFESOR, a Classic contender last year, will not be inconvenienced. Last September, he was fourth by four lengths to OUTRAGEOUS TAJ over the same distance, clocking a final time of 1:12.4 behind the winner’s 1:12.0. Trevor Simpson who rode him in January is in fine form, and the Casual Trick – The Principal four-year-old gelding will be difficult to beat.

JAMALJAMES will be racing against the clock in the third race on the card, a 1000 metres straight event. The Fitzroy Glispie-trained gelding has dropped two levels to enter this event. He faces $450,000 claimers after placing third to ADONIS among the $600,000 claiming group on January 30. That race was won in 58.3 seconds, with JAMALJAMES crossing the line in 59.4. He has the pace to be up with the leaders and will be finishing best of all in the final 200 metres.

The fourth, Race Three of the Sunrise Six, should provide SEA SWAN with an easy win. She gets the perfect distance, 1000 metres round, and will use her speed to blow away rivals. The lightly raced four-year-old filly has done two bullet works in recent days after a near four-month rest. On February 3, she clocked 47.4 for 800m, and seven days later, scorched the exercise track in 35.2x47.4. This will be just the fourth start for the Adore The Gold – Saint Cecelia filly, and she has tons of room for improvement.

The blinkers should do the trick for ADORING LADY in the fifth race over 1000 metres round. She is one of the fastest in the line-up and has trained well ahead of the event.

Take the very light HOUDINI’S MAGIC to get the better of the also well-handicapped PEKING CRUZ in the sixth race while course ­specialist BULLET RAJ is strongly fancied for the seventh, the sixth and final race of the Sunrise Six.
