GOING:

LUCKY FISH MAIDEN DASH JUVENILE PLATE 1400m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 20)    

Plenty of pace with From The Island and Lava Strike up front, pressured by Hero's Journey and Moonshine Bay. HERO'S JOURNEY (4) was beaten just a nose last start when second in a small field over 1400m at Durbanville. Yet to find winning form this prep but has been thereabouts with two placings from three starts. Gets chance. FROM THE ISLAND (6) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a nose over 1400m at Durbanville. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be discounted. UNCLE SAM (1) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Vaughan Marshall. By Master Of My Fate from Aunt Polly. Bold showing expected. IT'SGOOD IT'SNICE (2) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Vaughan Marshall. By Hawwaam from Quepid. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
