“Jackson Keeping continues fine form for Brad Cook”

Honest sprinter Jackson Keeping turned three years old last month and has really hit his straps of late. He won last Thursday over 297m at Northam in 17.37 and repeated the dose this evening from box six when he recorded a new PB of 17.30. The son of Mepunga Blazer has accumulated a strong career record of 9 wins and 12 seconds from his 46 career starts for owner Troy Smith. His box manners have always been good but his mustering to the first turn has improved sharply over the last couple of months. Jackson Keeping is a full brother to handy chasers Oddball Keeping, Jasmine Keeping, Jane Keeping, Janet Keeping and Juliet Keeping.

“Cheetah Magic comes from last to win over 509m”

Noted slow beginner Cheetah Magic took advantage of a saloon inside passage in the middle stages to sweep into contention before winning tonight’s Deb’s Diner Provincial Novice over 509m. The daughter of Fernando Bale had charged home at his three previous starts to be a runner up but was able to go one better tonight. She settled in eighth position at the winning post the first time before railing into second in the back straight. The Michael Rylands trained chaser then reeled in and overtook leader Aussie Singman before winning by three lengths. She snapped a losing sequence of 17 and recorded a handy 30.43. Zac’s Thunder finished strongly to run second and a length away third was the wilting Aussie Singman. Cheetah Magic is a full sister to handy staying type Penny Magic and short-courser Riley Magic.

“Unlimited Gas steps on the gas at Northam”

Handy youngster Unlimited Gas has relished the switch to the Northam circuit. He only won 1 of his first 12 career starts which were all at Cannington before winning first up at Northam last Thursday in 17.58. This evening he overcame a fair jump from box five to surge to the front at the first turn before romping away to score by eight lengths. The son of Bernardo clocked a smart 17.43 and defeated Lizzy Keeping and Mungo Miss. He was born in November 2021 and looks to be an improving type with a bright future. Littermates Runs On Gas, Pumping Gas, Limited Gas and Celestial Gas all look to show promise too with all having won a maiden despite their young age.

“Jumping Jill returns to winner’s list for Tracey Hine”

Honest speedster Jumping Jill relished the return to a Country 5/6 over 297m at Northam this afternoon when she led throughout from box four.
