SAF - DURBANVILLE   11 Feb 2026
 
GOING: G

LUCKY FISH LUCKY BREAK MAIDEN PLATE 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 25)    

Looks to be plenty of pace with Inquisitor and Phantom Man battling for the lead. PHANTOM MAN (2) has been edging towards a win. Solid run last time when just missed as favourite and can go one better this time. I AM SAM (7) really wound up strongly over 1400m latest and looks suited by the extra ground now. Worth following up. FREQUENT TRAVELLER (10) is overdue and was strong to the line over a bit further in the latest. Sure to be right there at the business end. FORT LIAM (3) is another overdue for a win with a few strong runs back to back. Genuine hope.
