Gray takes eight to Invercargill

Ryal Bush trainer Brett Gray will take six of his own horses and two that he’s babysitting to Ascot Park tomorrow for the Invercargill Harness Racing Club meeting.

First starter She’s Victorious (Washington VC) represents the stable in Race One. She’s had a number of workouts and trials and draws two in a small field.

Gray is also currently looking after Aretha (Fear The Dragon) for Brent McIntyre.

In Race Four Foxfire Easton (Washington VC) has a nice draw. His form line is solid and he was unlucky at his last start, finishing fifth.

Janaka’s Delight (Bettor’s Delight) and Joy Jaccka (Creatine) fly the Gray flag in Race Six. Janaka’s Delight’s form has been solid recently but it’s been from behind the mobile. Tomorrow’s race is from a stand.

The lightly raced Joy Jaccka has run two seconds this campaign and is good from the stand.

Gray rates Joy Jaccka as the stable’s best bet.

Gray also has the Jonny Cox trained Moonlight Angel (One Over Da Moon) in his care.

Seven Pounamu (Washington VC) starting in Race Seven, ran sixth at this last start after doing some work.

Last start winner Stillyourshot (Gold Ace) has a good draw advantage but faces a big step up in class in Race Eight.
