Proven group winner Doubtful Jack made a triumphant return to the racetrack tonight when he scored a dashing win in the listed $90,000 Premium Stakes (1200m) at Launceston.

A classy performer by in form stallion Not a Single Doubt, Doubtful Jack was sent out a hot $1.40 favourite with bookmakers and he lived up the quote with a comprehensive victory.

Always on the speed throughout, Doubtful Jack, with Luke Nolen up, had a three quarter length margin over his rivals when the finish line in the 1200 metre event was reached.

Too Many Reds came from well back in the field to grab second, while local star Conquering was a similar margin back in third place.

Doubtful Jack, who won the Group Three Bobbie Lewis Quality at Flemington in early September, hadn’t raced since finishing out of a place behind Captain Sonador in the Epsom Handicap in October.

The classy four-year-old showed he’d lost nothing in the ability stakes with tonight’s highly impressive first up success.

Trainer Peter Moody looks to have an imposing team revving up for the autumn carnival features and Doubtful Jack is sure to be given his chance to add to his growing list of feature race victories.

Raced by good stable client Allan Meads, Doubtful Jack is a son of former outstanding Magic Millions graduate Not a Single Doubt.

Moody purchased Doubtful Jack on his behalf for $100,000 from the Millbrook draft at the 2008 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

As it stands his impressive record reads out at eight wins and two second placings from just 16 runs. He’s earned an ever increasing haul of $544,665.

Doubltful Jack is a half brother to two winners including the four time victor Furla.

That daughter of Spartacus is the dam of current Gold Coast trained speedster Fab Fevola – a stakes placegetter in Queensland.

Doubtful Jack’s dam, the unraced Marscay mare Tootside Roll, is a full sister to the Adelaide group winner Honour Code.
