Takeover targets Jubilee

Australian speedball Takeover Target will bid to join compatriot Choisir by claiming a Royal Ascot double on Saturday when he contests the Golden Jubilee Stakes over his preferred trip of six furlongs.

Joe Janiak’s charge won the King’s Stand Stakes on Tuesday over the minimum trip and will face a maximum of 18 rivals including fellow Australasian raider Glamour Puss – although Falkirk has been taken out of the race.
