RUNAWAY ALGO, ridden by Raddesh Roman, wins the three-year-old and upwards open allowance Thornbird Trophy Stakes over seven furlongs at Caymanas Park on Saturday.

Topweight 126 pounds should be no hindrance to SHE'S MY DESTINY in Saturday's SVL 22nd Anniversary Trophy, having carried seven pounds less when posting 1:04.4 against better sprinters on the trip on Boxing Day.

All set to wire rivals after going out of her depth at nine furlongs and 25 yards earlier this month,

SHE'S MY DESTINY has things her way, tackling one of her favourite distances, five and a half furlongs, facing friendly fire in the feature, four stablemates and Al Brown's YELLOWSTONE.

Last out June 3, SHE'S MY DESTINY carried her three stablemates for six furlongs against a Gary Subratie trio going two turns. I AM FRED blew past her on the home turn, leading home a Jason DaCosta 1-2-3 completed by KING ARTHUR and MINIATURE MAN.

Having ensured a payday for her barn, SHE'S MY DESTINY gets her turn with KING ARTHUR, OUTBIDDER, MINIATURE MAN and LUKSOL returning the favour in what should be a facile victory for the mare who was second up to a furlong out in last December's Mouttet Mile behind MAHOGANY.

YELLOWSTONE has certainly improved since the back end of last season, finishing ahead of top-rated foreigner RUNAWAY ALGO at five furlongs straight a month ago before returning to outsprint LURE OF LUCY and LUKSOL at the trip on June 4.

No matter how tough he tries to be on the lead, YELLOWSTONE will be in trouble with LUKSOL ready to chase him off the headline, setting the stage for SHE'S MY DESTINY to close for the kill.

Having already got a taste of graded stakes pace on April 8, leading for three furlongs before I AM FRED and RUNAWAY ALGO pounced, leaving SHE'S MY DESTINY to close into third, YELLOWSTONE's limitations will again be exposed.
