Just Precious is back to her best with an impressive metropolitan win third-up from a spell.
The four-year-old mare scored the third victory of her nine-start career in a Benchmark 70 (1200m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday (August 9).
Ridden by Jake Bayliss, Just Precious ($6) raced just behind the leaders before staking her claim in the straight and kicking strongly to the line to win by just under a length.
Trainer Stuart Kendrick was extremely happy to see the mare back in the winner’s stall in a Saturday metro race.
“Her first-up run on Caloundra Cup Day was excellent, but she was a little bit flat second-up, and just didn’t finish off as well as expected,” Kendrick said.
“But with a freshen-up and a good ride by Jake, she showed she is a quality mare with a dominant win,” he said.
“We will now look to try and put another Saturday metro win on the board and then make some decisions going forward from there.”
