SAF - DURBANVILLE   04 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

LUCKY FISH DIAMOND RICHES CLASS 4 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 24)    

A solid tempo on the cards with It Is My Time leading the way. SHOW OFF (6) was luckless last time and charged late when in the clear and just missed. Can go one better. KING'S QUEST (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when sixth over 1600m at Kenilworth a month ago. That was in open class and drops in grade for this. Placed 4/5 here and placed only try course and distance. Can make amends. COASTAL COMMANDER (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on February 4 when beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth at Kenilworth over 1400m after being prominent at the turn. Has the talent to produce a better result. NIGHTRAIN (5) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 2 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
