Close Reggae 6 bets with Nina Dorada

WHEREAS Monday's Reggae 6 was hit by WAYNE'S PRINCESS opening race win at 14-1 and BOLD MOVE upstaging imported PINEAPPLE to land the third at 9-1, taking out most bets for a $437,501 payout to winning tickets, readers should have salvaged some dough on the Twilight 6.

Touted for $1,440, Monday's Twilight 6 would have profited readers $5,285 from the $6,725 payout, cash with which to tackle both Pick 6s on Saturday with lunch money to spare.

Keeping the Reggae 6 stake within reason, $1,200, PHENOMENAL ONE and NAKAMURA, considering back class and form, respectively, should cover what, on paper, appears to be an open race.

SIR JOHN has held his form and gets the nod as a nap selection in the second, finishing close to runner-up BERN NOTICE on Monday, when both were outclassed by LIFE IS LIFE showing rejuvenated form for his new barn on a $1 million tag.

Spread bets in the third at five furlongs straight, a dash open to the speedsters, who could all be cut down by WHISKY, who has the track bias in his favour, drawn wide with a clear path for a late charge.

The fourth could get tricky as far as soundness is concerned. Stick to speed when in doubt at five furlongs straight - HEART OF A LION, CONUNDRUM and SENSATIONAL SATIN on the stands' side.

Use run-on sprinter ACKNOWLEDGEME and MRS LYNDHURST along the stands' side in the fifth. However, BURNING VALOR is a strong closer, who must not be underestimated from post-position one with bustling Robert Halledeen.

Be bold and close a budget bet with NINA DORADA in the sixth at five and a half furlongs. The seven-year-old mare was a lonely winner at the level a month ago, using her speed to churn unmatchable splits.
