Scud produces cracker run
Crackerjack Scud pulled out a personal best run to make it back-to-back wins at Free For All level with victory in the 400m FFA at Mandurah last Friday night.
Two weeks after his previous success in a five dog 488m race, Crackerjack Scud faced a much harder task against a full field of quality short-course chasers.
Crackerjack Scud looked up against it from the lemon, 'box five', and went to starting line at big odds but inserted himself into the contest when he landed behind the quick launching Fancy That Fred at the jump.
Fancy That Fred held the front down the back straight but swung wide at the turn, which allowed Crackerjack Scud to burrow through to the lead along the rail.
Your local paper, whenever you want it.
It was the only opportunity Crackerjack Scud needed and he kicked away to secure the victory in a personal best time of 22.31 and finish three lengths ahead of Fancy That Fred, with Surf The Sun a further half-length behind in third.
Crackerjack Scud improved his record to 10 wins from 28 starts for trainer Lexia Issac.
