Take Andy Capp

Orville Clarke, Gleaner Writer

The Pick-9 again proved elusive at Caymanas Park last Saturday and the carryover to tomorrow's meet stands at $3.27 million.

It embraces races two to 10 on the programme, while the first Super-6 will be conducted from one to six, the overlapping Super-6 from five to 10.

We look at the second Super-6 which gets under way with a 3-y-o maiden condition race (fillies only) over 1200 metres, in which LITTLE CHUPS (knocking at the door) gets a glorious opportunity to open her account with Georgina Sergeon again in the saddle.

LITTLE CHUPS finished a close second to PRIVATE CARD in a highly competitive race over 1800 metres on July 9, and before that was third in a blanket finish to SHE CAN PREACH over 1400 metres.

Drop in class

Although asked to sprint, she should win from the convenient mark of 51.0kg with the competition nothing much. JJ'S GIRL was 2¹/² lengths seventh to STORM IS OVER at 1300 metres, and looks the principal danger with leading all-time jockey Winston Griffiths now taking the ride.

The recent course winner ANDY CAPP (Shane Ellis up), from the stables of champion trainer Wayne DaCosta, steps down to a lowly $180,000 tag to contest the sixth race and should have little difficulty in beating LIGHT MY FIRE and FREEDOM PRINCE in a full field of 16 over 1200 metres.

THEREALPRINCE, trained by the competent Paul 'Sleeper' Charlton, will appreciate the drop in class after chasing home GUAN YU recently and should win the seventh ahead of MING LEI and LA'S DANCER (regaining form).

The speedy CITY HALL has little to beat in the eighth race for maiden four-year-olds and up over 1200 metres, while DELICIOSA gets the nod over the speedy SANDSAND and BABY MEKAYLA in the ninth race over the round five course. And in the 10th and final for the G.A. 'Sarge' Bucknor Memorial Cup over the straight, it should come down to a straight fight between the improving American filly DA BOOM and the speedy three-year-old colt SARAGOSSA, with the Spencer Chung-trained DA BOOM preferred following her close second to out-of-class NEW KINGSTON over 1200 metres recently.
