GOING: S

LUCKY FISH NEW FORTUNE OPEN MAIDEN 2000m

Track: AW   Rain (Max: 17)    

Off The Charts, Irish Anthem and Intro can set the pace. Moderate distance maiden. INTRO (5) is the one to beat on recent form. Has had loads of chances to break through but hard to knock the recent string of solid runs, the latest beaten narrowly here over 1800m. First try this trip and rates the one to beat. CARNIVAL PARK (11) is in the same boat, who remains a maiden after 14 tries but recent form is solid. Freshened since finishing third here last time and should feature again. OFF THE CHARTS (4) was safely held over 1400m fresh and will be fitter. Aided by the extra ground and Habib goes aboard. Looks a big improver. REIGN ON IMPACT (12) did little at first start then was put away. Ran a much improved race fresh over the mile and looks well placed over the longer trip. Has good upside and leading rider goes aboard.
