Junipal on track for Toorak Handicap and Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes

Junipal has returned this campaign as a gelding and co trainer David Eustace felt he was racing at his peak.

He said Junipal now had enough ratings points to gain a start in the Toorak Handicap and he might go to that race via the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes

In Junipal’s race, Dwayne Dunn was injured when his mount Shot Of Irish reared at the start, causing the jockey to hit his head on the barrier stalls.

Shot Of Irish came out 10 lengths behind the field and stayed in last position throughout.

Dunn needed assistance from the clerk of the course on pulling up and complained of neck and head soreness after the race.

Dunn was stood down by Racing Victoria stewards for the rest of the meeting.
