Iron horse Apprehend from the Tony Vasil stable made it three wins from his last four starts winning the $90,000 TAB BIG6 Mega Jackpot Handicap (2600m) at Flemington on Lightning Stakes day.

 

Apprehend

 

Apprehend ($3,$3.50,$3.40) was dominant throughout and sprinted well upon straightening to score a comfortable length win from Grand Destiny ($4.80,$5) with Macedonian ($2.60,$3.20) a further half length away third.

Remarkably it has been twenty starts since Apprehend was last in the spelling paddock, but Aquanita foreman Trent Penutto says the gelding is thriving.

"He just continues to thrive with what we are doing with him," said Penutto.

"He actually likes a fair bit of work between runs and blows hard after his gallops."

Racing in a rich vein of form currently Penutto believes that the $300,000 Launceston Cup in Tasmania could be an option.

"I think he has just hit his peak," joked Penutto.

"We will look towards the Launceston Cup with him and perhaps fish around the Mornington Cup as well, but it depends on how he pulls up."

According to apprentice Brent Evans it wasn't his toughest ride.

"He is a lovely horse to ride," said Evans.

"He does everything himself all you have to do is steer him," he added.

Another son of Hold That Tiger (USA), who currently stands at Swettenham Stud in Victoria, Apprehend has already accrued more than $350,000 in prizemoney in just his fourth year.
