GOING:

LUCKY FISH WINTER STAKES 2400m

Track: STANDARD   Rain (Max: 19)    

Strong tempo with Shoot The Rapids, Holding Thumbs and Enflame leading the way. NATIVE RULER (2) finished 2 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1900m at this track when fresh from a spell. That was in Grade 3 company and a strong return. Steps up in journey today and should be an improver. HOLDING THUMBS (5) finished midfield on his return from a spell in the same race. Relishes the longer journeys and form good for this. Chad Little who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Should be in the finish. ENFLAME (7) made it two wins in a row last time out when he scored by 3.5 lengths over 3200m in stakes class at Turffontein Standside. Winning rider Serino Moodley retains the mount. Loves the trip and in great form. SHOOT THE RAPIDS (4) has been in the money at his last couple of runs but struggling to break through, the latest effort a second over 3200m in Listed grade at Turffontein Standside. Has a win and one minor placings at this trip from five starts. Among the chances.
