Summary
JJ THE Jet Plane can show his true worth in today's Darley July Cup at Newmarket.
A champion back home in his native South Africa, his reputation was tarnished somewhat when he could finish only fourth in the Golden Jubilee at Royal Ascot. However, that run was not as bad as it originally looked because he showed great courage to fight back and was actually gaining on the leaders again at the line. The excuse was that he was racing on over-watered ground and could not grab the turf properly, having been used to fast surfaces. This theory would stand up as his only other recent defeat came when tried on dirt in Dubai, where he bombed out badly. He showed he could handle racing in this country when winning with his head in his chest at Windsor and, while the Aussies Scenic Blast and Takeover Target will be tough nuts to crack, Mike de Kock has lost none of his faith in the five-year-old.See the full content of this document
