Tread carefully in Sunday’s knotty opener

THROW the kitchen sink at Sunday's Reggae 6 opener, a seven-furlong $400,000 optional claiming stacked with hot-today-cold-tomorrow runners.

KINGSWOOD returns after turning the form on last for an easy win with Raddesh Roman on a $250,000 tag. However, the nine-year-old grey reports off the claim, changing barns from Saqlain Roman to Dalton Sirjue, suggesting any number could play, having spent only three weeks at his new stable.

VICTORIA'S MEDALLION finished third in her last three races to runaway winners on $400,000 tags, suggesting she fell victim to out-of-class runners and could get her reward at the trip she had won last October, beating STICKYDON and MAGIC BULLET.

PHAROAH IT IS returns to the level where he had finished second behind out-of-class ROHAN KABIR on April 28, an event in which VICTORIA'S MEDALLION was third. Running out of a new barn with figure eight removed, PHAROAH IT IS has bustling Philip Parchment aboard.

ANNGELOS raced prominently behind back-to-form MASTER OF HALL two weeks ago. She could return as a threat on her fourth run for Steven Todd, who has retained Youville Pinnock.

BIN LADEN was an easy winner on a $400,000 tag a month ago for Todd. Returning off the claim with Reyan Lewis back aboard, BIN LADEN could be a winner without penalty.

STEIN went off as a 2-5 favourite on a $400,000 tag last out but fell. Oral Hayden, who allowed his claim to stand, is renowned for presenting his runners in peak shape, a sure hint that STEIN could turn around the form from his new barn.

WOW HOW, WHISKY and MR SENATOR are solid bankers in the second, third and fifth, respectively. WOW HOW should catch $750,000 claimers at six furlongs whereas WHISKY ran smack into NOMOREDEALS' back class on last.

MR SENATOR should use his grinding pace to outstay rivals after stablemate NATURAL DANCER sets it up for him by keeping the speed honest on the lead.
