Tomohawk set to surprise much-travelled fillies

GARY Subratie is wasting no time with ANOTHER AFFAIR, sending out the filly for the third time in a little over five weeks, taking a shot at Sunday's nine-furlong and 25-yard Restricted Stakes.

ANOTHER AFFAIR renews rivalry with fellow classic-placed filly, ONEOFAKIND, who she had outfinished by a half-length at seven and a half furlongs with the help of stablemate AWESOME TREASURE, who carried the pace to the furlong pole.

Concerned about ONEOFAKIND not being sharp enough at the start when failing to catch ANOTHER AFFAIR, Anthony Nunes replaced her blinkers with a visor, which made the situation worse on her return last Saturday, slowly into stride and beaten by Wayne DaCosta's pair, LOOSE BALL and SILENT SEEKER, at six and a half last week Saturday.

The rematch

Nunes has kept faith with the visor at nine furlongs and 25 yards for the rematch between the fillies who were only separated by a length and a half in the Jamaica Derby, ANOTHER AFFAIR placing third to KING ARTHUR and NIPSTER after being caught a furlong out.

ONEOFAKIND has a three-pound swing in the scale on ANOTHER AFFAIR but lacks the speed to keep her speedier rival honest. AWESOME TREASURE served as chauffeur to ANOTHER AFFAIR and will again set a cracking pace for her stablemate to follow, hoping to pull ONEOFAKIND off the bridle early.

DaCosta's colt, TOMOHAWK, despite his lack of pace, could be a real threat to the fillies should the pace collapse. Running at 111lb, TOMOHAWK, who won at the distance three weeks ago, is getting weight from the fillies clocked and could be a spoiler at what appears to be his favourite distance.

Having clocked many miles over the last three months, the much-travelled fillies could fall prey to the light colt, who is getting seven pounds from ONEOFAKIND and nine from ANOTHER AFFAIR.
