Sunday 1st September 2019
Hollywoodbets Greyville Polytrack
Race 8 – 16:55
1200m – MR 80 Handicap
7 – Jerry The Juggler
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 3(11)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
A well related son of Master Of My Fate, he returns after winning his maiden at just the second time of asking. That was after showing greenness on debut, although he wasn’t disgraced in that effort either. He does come off a 21 week rest and although his work has been encouraging, he may just need the run. He has a useful draw to launch his challenge from and Athandiwe Mgudlwa will be seeking an early rails run from a relatively handy position. Based on the strength of the field and the fact that he isn’t a hundred percent tuned up for this run, we expect him to finish in the first four places and give him an outside winning chance. See the final field below.
Winning Form Comment: Comes off a long rest after winning maiden. Makes handicap debut, but has plenty of scope.
