Reggae 6 opener a knotty affair

START and end Saturday's Reggae 6 strong, five and six selections, respectively, while using key bankers to grab a piece of the jackpot, which starts with a single-winner bonus of $7.8 million.

RANI BANGALA, POWER RANKING, BERN NOTICE, SONNY T AND CHIPPY and GREEN GOLD RUSH are all capable of winning on their best day, soundness considered, making the Reggae 6 opener a real puzzler at seven furlongs.

Maiden four-year-olds are never to be trusted hence RUBY'S LIGHT, SWEET BERN and SOLACE must be carried in the second event at six and a half furlongs.

PACK PLAYS reverting to a sprint, the minimum trip, makes the speedy American an automatic banker in the third at five furlongs round after a dull effort at seven furlongs on last.

SIR WONG DON has impressed at exercise for the fourth, six furlongs in 1:17.0, making him a tempting banker. However, SUPERIO and COSMIC FORCE both have back class and must be carried.

LAST DANCE can be carried as a banker in the fifth but take no chances in the Reggae 6 closer, which requires at least six of the three-year-old maidens, nearly half the 13-horse field, to have enough cover from upsetters or market-springers.
