Hugely talented four-year-old gelding Kangaroo Jack (Querari) showed his class with a facile victory in the Gr3 Spring Spree Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday. It was a fourth consecutive win for the Gary Alexander trained gelding, who had won the Gr2 Post Merchants last time out.

Kangaroo Jack, who jumped as the even money favourite, raced mid-field as Mod Barley (Antonius Pius) set the pace, with fancied runner Buckland (Western Winter) another to race prominently in Saturday's R250 000 contest.

The favourite, who always looked to be travelling well under jockey Andrew Fortune, looked at one stage as if he may not get a clear passage, but Fortune, who knew what he had under him bought Kangaroo Jack with 200m left to run -and from there it was no race.

Kangaroo Jack, who had to lug top weight of 61 kgs in Saturday's 1200m event, powered clear to register a 1.75 length victory from a fast finishing Angel's Power (Miesque's Approval) -despite giving the latter being in recent of no less than 7.5 kgs!

Former Gr3 Tommy Hotspur Handicap winner Moofeed (Duke Of Marmalade) put up an honest effort back in third ahead of Buckland (Western Winter) back in fourth place.

The winner, who has now won five of just nine outings, stopped the clock in a time of 70.98.

One of two graded winners produced in his sire's first crop (Cosmic Light being the other), Kangaroo Jack is one of five winners produced by Listed The Scarlet Lady winner Rainbow Flag (Model Man).
