Good comeback run throws down the gauntlet
Kommetdieding sent a warning to Jet Dark fans that he is still very much in the big race picture when making a fine comeback run in Saturday’s Bantry Bay Stakes at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth.
Jet Dark showed he was in fine fettle with his recent win so the prospect of the two talented performers locking horns in the King’s Plate on January 7 is mouthwatering indeed. Throw in the possibility of horse of the year Captain’s Ransom being in the field and the grade 1 race will be even more interesting.
There wasn’t a happy comeback for former champion sprinter Rio Querari, who was beaten eight lengths. The best days of the son of Querari may be behind him. However, Ciao Bella’s victory was made easier by a poor performance in the saddle by Grant van Niekerk aboard the well-fancied second favourite, Hold My Hand. Van Niekerk’s mount had a good draw but somehow raced wide and had nothing to come in the closing stages.
