VICTORIAN JOCKEYS' ASSOCIATION SPRINT
Results
REDOUTE'S NIGHT (5) on top in a competitive sprint. He's a relatively lightly raced 7yo who hit the line strongly fresh at Pakenham over 1000m to just miss the handy Title Fighter. Gets a key jockey booking of Craig Williams here and should prove very hard to hold out late. APPARATUS (4) is a consistent type who was good when hard in the market at Geelong last time out. Back slightly in trip here looks to suit having run well in some good 3yo races here earlier in the year which reads well. PYROIS (8) has been close up in two runs back from a spell and won't need to improve much to be featuring prominently. STREET ELITE (7) is consistent coming off a third placing at Caulfield Heath last time out. He's an each way chance in an open race. CAPPER THIRTYNINE (1) resumes off a short let up and has the ability to win.
