Champion trainer Jason DaCosta has a formidable one-two punch lined up for Saturday’s Kaz Hoshay Trophy over five and a half furlongs, with I DREAM AGAIN and STARRAURA looking set to decide the outcome, depending on how the race unfolds.

For I DREAM AGAIN to win, he may need STARRAURA to run the field off its legs, a scenario that is quite possible. However, he, too, could become a victim of the filly’s speed should she prove too difficult to reel in.

STARRAURA blazed five and a half furlongs in 1:06.1 at exercise last Saturday morning, a time that would test horses still seeking their first overnight allowance victory. However, she will likely need an uncontested lead if she is to beat her stablemate, last year’s Jamaica Derby winner.
