Takeover on target for Ascot

Takeover Target has booked his place at Royal Ascot for the third successive year with a record-breaking victory in Singapore.

Australian owner-trainer Joe Janiak nominated next month's five-day jamboree as the next port of call after his veteran speedster knocked 0.2 seconds off the six-furlong course record at Kranji when registering his sixth Group One success in the KrisFlyer International Sprint on Sunday.
