Last seen winning the $250,000 Inglis Premier back in February, the Ciaron Maher trained Jukebox (image Darryl Sherer) produced a powerful finish to reel in Sebring colt Plutocracy and win the Group III MRC Vain Stakes by half a neck.
It was a dominant return and Maher has high hopes for the colt who was a $200,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Blue Gum Farm draft.
"He had a good long break and has come back really well," said Maher, who will consider his options going forward with Jukebox.
"He's had a smooth campaign and it's lovely to see a three year-old colt resume like that. It's very exciting."
Jukebox has won three from three earning $240,900 and is entered for the Group
I MRC Caulfield Guineas.Bred by Oakland Park Stud in WA, Jukebox is the best of four winners from stakes-winning Rory's Jester mare Jestatune, a half-sister to Group I WATC Kingston Town Classic winner Ihtsahymn.
Jestatune has a yearling filly by Not a Single Doubt, but was not covered last spring.
