SAF - GREYVILLE   05 Sep 2025
 
GOING: G

Lucky Fish Winning Streak CLASS 5 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 21)    

Pace a scorcher, headed by Kaapse Klopse, L'ultimo and Gorgeous Dude, closely followed by Firelighter and The Mask. GORGEOUS DUDE (1) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at Scottsville. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. SAIL TO THE MOON (2) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1750m at Scottsville. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. THE MASK (7) wasn't far away last time out, finishing third over 1200m at Scottsville. The extra journey should play into his hands. Among the winning hopes. FIRELIGHTER (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to find some form.
