Jolly Poacher is favourite to snare his second big race in a fortnight in the final of the Complete Property Care Maintenance Oxfordshire Stakes at Oxford Stadium on Saturday night.
The unbeaten brindle and white dog, who is trained by Richard Yeates, ran away with the recent Tech-Shop UK Maiden Derby here and carried on the good work with an effortless victory in the qualifiers last Saturday.
Having already pocketed £1,500, tonight’s prize of £2,500 would give the April 2007 whelp a brilliant start to his career.
Poacher, favourably drawn in the red jacket, must be on his toes at the start for the experienced and prolific winner here, Brickfield Class, together with impressive heat winner Parkside Jet, can rattle hard up the home straight in what should be a cracking clash.
An earlier race, the PCCM Stayers, sees hot-pots Melody Comet and He Went Whoosh locking horns again.
This should set things up nicely for the evening’s big event.
