LUCKY LAD 1200m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 23) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong pace with Priceless Pearl, Send Me and Indecent Proposal pushing forward, closely attended by Kotinos and One Irish Rover. KOTINO (1) has won twice and finished third three times from nine starts over this distance. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. PURPLE POWAHOUSE (3) is better than his last start run over this distance on the polytrack would suggest. Well worth a second look in this field. NOW I GOT YOU (7) is a winner of his last two starts, the latest of which was over this course and distance. He gets the services of 4kgs claiming apprentice Dezahn Louw who is having his third ride. The son of Admiral Kitten is in a good space and can bring up the hat-trick. ONE IRISH ROVER (4) was a narrow winner two starts back at Greyville then finished in the placings last time at this track. Drops a little in the weights and is in the mix.
