SAF - KENILWORTH   17 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

LUCKY FISH MAGIC MILE CLASS 4 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 20)    

Strong pace with Beneath The Clouds, Girl Magic and Hunga Tonga pushing forward, closely attended by Queen Regent and Rikkitikkitavi. HAMPSTEAD HEATH (2) made a strong return when kept on to place. Has a strong record this course and distance. Fitter and off the low draw looks a top winning chance. AMERICAN BEAUTY (1) is a progressive filly who stepped up to 1800m for the first time and score an impressive win before a break. Mile suits fresh and will be tough to stop. ACT OF GRACE (5) is racing well lately. Yet to fire at two runs at the mile but last run in open class strong for this and looks a leading player. HUNGA TONGA (7) beat all bar one here last time. Should be at top and unbeaten rider back aboard. Worth following up.
