TREVOR S CHOICE thwarted a late run from SOLID APPROACH at Caymanas Park to last home in Saturday s overnight allowance at five and a half furlongs, notching three of his last four wins at the distance.
Sent off as the 4-5 favourite with Shane Ellis after losing his last race in a driving finish to five-furlong straight course-specialist SALVATION, TREVOR S CHOICE tracked VICTORY TURN into the lane before taking over.
United States-bred SOLID APPROACH had to be switched to mid-track inside the last half-furlong to avoid a weakening VICTORY TURN, costing her valuable ground inside the last half-furlong.
Ian Parsard’s SHE’S A WONDER has sparkled at exercise, 1:28.3 for seven furlongs, out the mile chute, last Thursday, appearing ready to outpace her peers in Wednesday’s fillies-only Thornbird Stakes at seven furlongs after clocking a fast 59.3 for five furlongs round on her seasonal debut.
Runner-up to the colt FURTHER AND BEYOND in December’s Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes at a mile, SHE’s A WONDER’s 59.3, beating imported LURE OF LUCY by four lengths on February 6, was an impressive performance on a track running heavy for most of this season.
Unlike her rival from last year, Anthony Nunes’ HOIST THE MAST, who had finished ahead of her in three meetings before the Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes, SHE’S A WONDER has progressed as a three-year-old, giving her a good shot at June’s 1000 Guineas over a mile.

Dane Nelson responded to fellow co-champion Anthony Thomas three-timer, which took his rival to the top of the jockeys standings last week, by equaling the feat on Saturday s nine-race card at Caymanas Park.
Nelson s winners, VAMPIRE REJECTION in the opening event, followed by back-to-back victories astride WILL AT WAR and PAPITO in the sixth and seventh events, moved him to 13 winners, two behind Thomas, joining injured Oshane Nugent in second place.
