Colletts head to Kembla Grange chasing midweek success
Jason Collett will travel to Kembla Grange on Tuesday, where he has a number of top mounts waiting. Collett was booked for five rides at the meeting, although the Matthew Smith-trained Runranirun in the Wollongong First Aid Conditional Benchmark 68 Handicap (1000m) went around at the same track on Saturday when finishing sixth. The group 1 winning jockey will link with his trainer father, Richard Collett, when partnering Nay Buoy in the Henry Clive Bar Maiden Handicap (2000m), as well as The Professor in the Illawarra Production Services Midway Class 1 Handicap (1500m). 'They both look to be really good chances,' Jason Collett said. 'Navy Buoy is lightly raced, having only had the five starts, but he has been placed in three of them, and he ran well at Kembla at his latest start when running fourth. Loading 'The step-up in distance looks like it should suit him, and he gets his chance.' The Professor has a win and five placings to his name from 12 starts and has finished second and third in each of his latest two starts at Goulburn. 'He's a horse with his share of talent, and he has been racing well,' said the jockey. 'If he can run up to his latest two runs, then there's no reason he can't break through with another win.
