Exciting sprinter Jigsaw confirmed his status as Melbourne’s best summer sprinter with a devastating display of speed to win the Group 2 Australia Stakes.
Could he win at Group 1 level in the weeks to come? The answer is there’s no question he can.
The Oakleigh Plate looks the obvious race, but could there be a radical move in the works?
Could Cindy Alderson roll the dice and try and win the Orr Stakes over 1400 metres next start at Sandown on February 11.
Daniel Moor showed out well he rides and understands Jigsaw with his magnificent tactical ride on Saturday when he forced Jye McNeil to work on Snapper and then didn’t let him cross.
Could Moor and Jigsaw dominate a race such as the Orr Stakes and catch the likes of I’m Thunderstruck a run short?
Maybe? It would make for an exciting race.
The other highlight of Moonee Valley was again the riding performance handed in by Blake Shinn who rode a winning treble scoring on Fighting Arrow, No Secret. Mamaragan.
After one of his wins Shinn was asked what he knew about No Secret who he was having his first ride on.
Shinn said he had watched the videos of all his races which is what he has to do.
Shinn is third on the Melbourne Jockeys’ Premiership with 27 winners behind Jamie Kah on 42 and Craig Williams on 31. With his hard work and preparation plus the new contacts he has made he might be a sneaky chance to overhaul them.
