VICTORIAN JOCKEYS' ASSOCIATION SPRINT
Results
Absolute lottery with so many in-form and with upside but looking for the ones finishing over the top. JAKIVY (16) turned in an eye-catching run fresh when beaten just a head. Kept fresh for this and will be strong late. Expected to be finishing on hard. TAN TAT DELIGHT (19) is a promising filly down in weight on a narrow loss last time. Picked up strongly to miss in a photo latest and will be doing best work late again. EGERTON (14) is fitter for two runs in and looks ready to fire. Just missed fresh in tougher grade then just missed again last time. Drawn to stalk the outside division and get home hard. SEA POEM (1) raced in tougher class last time when fifth over six furlongs. Kept fresh for this and has won 2/3 this trip. Aided by the claim and among the chances. ALERO (6) placed in tougher class over further before a spell but presents on the back of a couple of hit-outs and has won fresh. Will be winding up strongly.
