Central Park Bags Race 8

Jenningsbet Sprint Trophy

Stake: $1,946

EMERS DEX (6) was in the minor money with a sharp 16.59, finishing second in a OR at this track last start. In the money latest and can measure up here. CROSSBAR (5) is in sizzling form lately, rocketing around this track in 16.46 to score two back then following on with a 16.56 win over 277m at this track. Expected to feature again. JACKTAVERN DON (4) was out of the placings when fifth last time but prior to that ran a brilliant 23.96 win over 400m at Romford. Expecting another bold showing. FRANCOS MATT (1) shapes well for this after an outstanding 16.45 win latest. One of the chances.
