 Collins, who recorded the four fastest 60m indoor times this year of 6.47, his season best, Saturday’s race inside the Baie-Mahault Stadium will tell exactly what shape he is in at this point of the season.

 “I think I am in good shape but its just a matter of how the body feels on competition day because sometimes you think you doing well and (that’s not so).

“It was a long travel so I am trying to make sure the body holds up long and rub a good race,” said Collins, who helped St. Kitts and Nevis to bronze in the 4x100m at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu.
