Kavanagh ups stakes for Divine Madonna

MARK Kavanagh, fresh from a stellar Melbourne spring carnival, has turned his sights to Royal Ascot next year with outstanding miler Divine Madonna.
Kavanagh, who trained four Group 1 winners over the spring, yesterday revealed an ambition to run Divine Madonna in the Group 1 $585,000 Queen Anne Stakes.
"We will have a meeting in January and we will know more then," he told Sport 927.
Kavanagh is negotiating with Royal Ascot international scout Nick Smith for an invitation to run in the Queen Anne, run on the first day of the Royal Ascot carnival on June 17 over the straight mile.
Kavanagh had his appetite for Royal Ascot whetted when his friend, fellow trainer Danny O'Brien, ran Glamour Puss at Royal Ascot last year.
"Divine Madonna has four Group 1 wins here, would she be worth any more if she won six Group 1s here? I doubt it," Kavanagh said.
"It is inevitable she will be sold. There are nine owners and they are racers. We owe it to her to give her the best chance at stud. We don't want to die wondering."
Divine Madonna is being prepared for Sydney's autumn carnival. Stablemate Maldivian is back in work with a first-up run in the Carlyon Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley on January 25 pencilled in.
THE MIKE Moroney-trained Group 1 winning sprinter-miler and potential stallion, Jokers Wild, is still battling for his life after a blood infection following bone chip surgery on a knee three months ago.TAKEOVER Target can concede 4kg and still beat Dance Hero at Randwick next Saturday, according leading rails bookmaker Colin Tidy.
The two outstanding sprinters are set to again thrill racegoers in the $100,000 Razor Sharp Quality (1200m). Three weeks ago, champion Takeover Target carried 61kg to a magnificent long-head win over Dance Hero, who had 58kg, when the pair met over the same course and distance.
It is expected the Racing NSW handicapping panel will today allocate Takeover Target maximum top weight of 61kg for the Razor Sharp, but lessen Dance Hero's burden with either 57kg or 57.5kg.
"Takeover Target is a natural-born winner and I don't think it makes any difference if the handicapper gave Dance Hero 1kg less this time, the result will still be the same," Tidy said yesterday."Takeover Target reminds me of a lot of how Manikato used to win his races. Manikato never used to win by big margins but he would just keep winning. Takeover Target is similar because he seems to find a way to win."
Racing NSW handicapper Greg Pearson yesterday hinted there would be a weight "turnaround of between 0.5kg and 1kg" in Dance Hero's favour for the Razor Sharp.
The other four entries - Alverta, Beauty Watch, King Rex and Uber - are expected to receive the limit of 53kg.

Naked Beauty-Jessica

Born in Pomona, California, on April 28, 1981, Jessica Alba and her family moved to Biloxi, Mississippi, when she was an infant. Three years later her Air Force father brought the family back to California, then to Del Rio, Texas, before finally settling in Southern California when Jessica was nine. In love with the idea of becoming an actress from the age of five, she was 12 before she took her first acting class. Nine months later she was signed by an agent. A gifted young actress, Jessica has already played a variety of roles ranging from light comedy to gritty drama since beginning her career. She made her feature film debut in 1993 in Hollywood Pictures' comedy Camp Nowhere (1994). Originally hired for two weeks, she got her break when an actress in a principal role suddenly dropped out. Jessica cheerfully admits it wasn't her prodigious talent or charm that inspired the director to tap her to take over the part - it was her hair, which matched the original performer's. The two-week job stretched to two months, and Jessica ended the film with an impressive first credit. Two national TV commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penney quickly followed before Jessica was featured in several independent films. She branched out into TV in 1994 with a recurring role in Nickelodeon's popular comedy series "The Secret World of Alex Mack" (1994). She played an insufferable young snob, devoted to making life miserable for the the title character, played by Larisa Oleynik. That same year she won the role of Maya in "Flipper" (1995) and filmed the pilot for the series. She spent 1995 shooting the first season's episodes in Australia. An avid swimmer and PADI-certified scuba diver, Jessica was delighted to be doing a show that allowed her to play with dolphins. The show's success guaranteed it a second season, which she also starred in. Her involvement in the show lasted from 1995 to 1997. Since the show ended she has appeared in a number of TV shows and films. In 1996 she appeared in Venus Rising (1995) as Young Eve. The next year she appeared on the "The Dini Petty Show" (1989), a Canadian talk show, and spoke about her role in "Flipper" and her general acting career. She began working on P.U.N.K.S. (1999), featuring Randy Quaid, in 1998. In early 1998 she appeared in "Brooklyn South" (1997) as Melissa. That same year she was in two episodes of "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990) as Leanne and in two episodes of "The Love Boat: The Next Wave" (1998). She appeared in "Teen Magazine" in 1995 and various European magazines in the following several years. More importantly, she was featured in the February 1999 issue of "Vanity Fair" magazine. She also had major roles in two movies that year: Never Been Kissed (1999) and Idle Hands (1999). In 2000 she had roles in Paranoid (2000/I) and starred in the sci-fi TV series "Dark Angel" (2000).
