GOING:

LUCKY FISH NEW FORTUNE MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 28)    

Many of these youngsters step out for the first time so a strong pace is anticipated. QUEST OF VALOR (9) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1200m at this track when third, beaten 5 lengths. Got home hard in a big field to place. Will benefit from that experience so he will prove tough to beat. ONE PEPPER (3) is a two-year-old colt on debut. From an elite family that includes Grade 1 winner Sweet Pepper, being by One World from the stakes winner Green Pepper. FLAMETHROWER (7) debuted three weeks ago when he finished fourth over 1200m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Finished just off Quest Of Valor. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well. NIGHTMAREONELMST (10) is a two-year-old colt who was purchased for ZAR R 250,000 (Bloodstock South Africa 2025 National Yearling Sale). Watch for leads from market fluctuations.
