The grade two Starlight Stakes over 1,350 metres takes centre stage on Saturday when there will be a clash between the Jamaican bred horses and the locally bred thoroughbreds.
Last year's derby winner Free Passage will be flying the flag for Trinidad along with the David Ojar owned and trained Skyline Pigeon. Also set to make the local horses take the lion's share of the $100,000 purse event is Onetokeep from the John O'Brien yard.
From the look of the eight-horse field, this is clearly a very competitive event and any of for horse could justifiably run away with the $60,000 first prize cheque.
With no Bruceontheloose, Skyline Pigeon must be respected but the main threats could come from Free Passage, Onetokeep and Unquestionable.
Derick Mosca looks certain to play a hand in the event as he has entered three for the race. His trio of Free Passage, Slippery Sam and Onefortheroad could go close.
When entries were taken yesterday at Santa Rosa Park, Arima a total of 69 horses took entry for the eight-race progarrme of the Arima Race Club (ARC).
Post time on Saturday is 1 pm.
Here are the declared runers, riders and weight for Day 11 of the ARC racing season.
