A 4:30pm opening ceremony will get things under way before Bolt and World Championships 100m champion Yohan Blake, stretch their legs ahead of a busy European circuit, against Powell, World Indoor 60m champion Nesta Carter and 100m silver medallist, at the World Championships in 2005, Micheal Frater in a highly anticipated sprint relay showdown.

record-breaking teams

All five have featured in relay world record-breaking teams, but Racers, who should see Daniel Bailey and Warren Weir joining Bolt and Blake on the track, will be hoping to continue their recent dominance of local sprint relays.

MVP should, however, have their way in the women's 4x100m relay with the likes of Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Anneisha McLaughlin and Sherone Simpson expected to feature.

The men's 200m is also boasting several big names as Powell, who has a personal best of 9.90, will face competition from club-mate Carter, who has gone 20.25 over the distance, with Racers' fast-rising Warren Weir and Daniel Bailey, SWEPT's Emmanuel Callender and Dexter Lee and G.C. Foster's Rasheed Dwyer all expected to cause some concerns throughout.

speed work

World Championships 400m finalist Jermaine Gonzales will also be lining up in the 200m; a rarity for the national record holder over 400m, who will be using the occasion to test his speed work ahead of the European circuit.

Blake is way too classy for the men's 100m field and should make light work of the competition there, but his Racers training partner Marion Forsythe, former national champion Oshane Bailey (Akan) and MVP's Andrew Hinds will be looking to give the world's newest sprinting star something to think about.

Fraser-Pryce is the obvious pick of the women's 200m field, which also features Barbados' Jade Bailey and sprint hurdler Andrea Bliss.

MVP trio Melaine Walker, Anneisha McLaughlin and Sherone Simpson, who has been doing more strength work than normal this season, will try to hold off the Racers' contingent of Rosemarie Whyte, an Olympic finalist, Ristananna Tracey and Shereefa Lloyd in the women's 400m.

It's early days, but Simpson's 51.42, which was registered at the Queens/Grace Jackson meet in late January, remains the fastest quarter-mile time by a female in the world so far this season, and many will be interested to see whether or not she can further underline her intentions for the season with a good performance here.

Brigitte Foster-Hylton (MVP) should win ahead of Bliss (MBA) and Latoya Greaves (MVP) in the women's 100m hurdles, while Carrie Russell (UTech) is expected to finish ahead of the rest in the women's 100m.

Olympic silver medallist Germaine Mason (MVP) will contest the men's high jump.
