Bert and Star both shine but Jayfkay goes faster

Razldazl Jayfkay: Went much faster than the Juvenile hopefuls

  PICTURE: STEVE NASH  

WITH all six contenders for Tuesday’s Racing Post Juvenile showdown enjoying solo trial spins at Wimbledon on Wednesday morning, punters may have expected the picture to have become a little clearer. However, a mixedbag of efforts provided little in the way of hardened pointers for the £5,000 one-off.

Quickest on the clock once again was Coolavanny Bert, with Kelly Findlay’s dog going round in 28.51sec (+10) off a 4.86sec split, while Barrie Draper’s Laurels winner Eden Star was the only other Juvenile aspirant to better the 28.60sec barrier with a 28.56sec (+10) run.

However, with Dolores Ruth’s Razldazl Jayfkay having preceded the pair with a stunning 28.28sec effort for the 480m course, first reaction of Gordon Findlay, husband of trainer Kelly, was: “That seems a little slow doesn’t it? But he’s run the track well enough and railed well too.”
