SAF - SCOTTSVILLE   21 Sep 2026
 
GOING:

LUCKY FISH AVIATOR CLASS 4 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 24)    

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by The Marquee. SPARROW MAN (2) was a most impressive winner last time out over 1600m at this track, putting 2 lengths on his nearest rival. Down in the weights this time. Stick with him. WAR REPORTER (5) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1700m at Vaal. Looks a winning chance. MASTER BOMBER (8) finished second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten a long neck. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. THE MARQUEE (7) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Will benefit from that outing. Nicely placed to run well again.
