STAR DIAMOND, a winner last time out, showed she will be there or there - about in the day’s final race on Arima Race Club Day 5 at Santa Rosa Park, Arima, on Saturday.
The Fred de Freitas-trained mare had a revealing gallop over 600 metres yesterday morning, returning in a time of 37.0 seconds for the spin.
Also showing some speed yesterday was Pretty Woman, who goes in the 1100 metres sprint for maiden West Indies-bred three-year-olds on the turf course.
From the John Leotaud stables, the filly stepped over 600 metres in a good 39.4 seconds.
Top three-year-old Legally Ready had a comfortable spin over 800 metres to be clocked in 51 seconds together with stablemate It Got To Be Me.
Another to show some fire yesterday morning was Fearghas who was sent over 400 metres and was timed in a handy 27.1 seconds.
Most other stables sent their charges to do pace work ahead of Saturday’s seven-race programme
