The Central Test Junior 1k event returned the 14th different winner from 14 races.  This week it was the turn of Baxter Parker who showed the field a clean pair of heels to win by 12 seconds.  Despite a tightened handicap after last week’s win Harper-Lee Basten backed up well and narrowly claimed second place, managing to hold off the fast finishing backmarker Jazlin Fear by 1 second, with 3 more runners finishing within 13 seconds of Jazlin.

This all makes next week’s Junior event to be held at the Bendigo Livestock Exchange at Huntly one of the most difficult to pick for the season.  Possible winners include Ava Stewart, Connor Findlay, Harper-Lee Basten, Jazlin Fear, Jaymin Boulton and Tanner Fear.
