GOING: S

Race 11 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

They should run this along with Lucky Hope and Jasper Major taking it up over Der Flug. LUCKY HOPE (6) is rarely out of the money and has 15 wins to his name including last start at this track. Boasts a strong record here at this distance. A bold showing is expected. JASPER MAJOR (5) is having his first run since November 7. Goes very well when fresh with three wins from six starts, the latest over 1200m at this track at the start of last prep. Has ability and should be right in the finish. JUBILEE HEAD (3) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a eighth over 1200m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time. DER FLUG (1) kicked off this campaign with a win then was less impressive last time out when fourth over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
