Backing up from a debut maiden win to score again isn’t easy, but trainer Michael Kent Jnr believes Job Done has the quality to do just that on Flemington Finals Day.
After a strong performance at Seymour on June 10, Job Done is set to contest the Next Gen Sprinters Final for two-year-olds over 1200m, currently priced at $3.10 in betting markets.
“He can step up but there are two to beat, in my opinion,” Kent Jnr said.
“Bacash will be very hard to beat after being a big margin winner and I think Street Artist jumped out well but Job Done is a neat horse but not a big horse.
“He has a huge, big stride on him and he is definitely city class.”
In his debut over 1000m, Job Done posted a Racing and Sports rating of 88 and showed clear upside. In comparison, Bacash, who won his maiden by six lengths at Cranbourne on June 22, earned a rating seven pounds higher and sits as the $2.50 favourite.
The Snitzel gelding is a half-brother to Pivot City, also trained by Kent Jnr and Mick Price, who boasts three wins from 15 career starts.
“He won very handsomely on debut,” Kent Jnr said of Job Done.
“I think he will love 1200-metres and he is a very straightforward horse – point and shoot.
“The Flemington straight will suit him and when you ask for him to sprint, he does it.”
Debutant Street Artist, trained by Anthony and Sam Freedman, is rated a $5.50 chance across early markets.
