LUCKY FISH POWER PICK B STAKES 1000m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 25) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Expecting a solid pace with Bourbon Warrior, First Origin and Captain's Christy leading the charge. CAPTAIN'S CHRISTY (2) is a talented mare in great form. Has a top record course and distance. Plenty to like about her prospects. CIRCUMBENDIBUS (3) has won two of four this time in. First try this sharper trip but drawn for a soft run and looks a leading hope again. I'M A FIREBALL (1) is a talented galloper who was tackling the top level last time in. Won only other try fresh and likely to feature this class. BOURBON WARRIOR (6) might find this short of his best but goes well fresh and expect a bold showing.
