GOING:

LUCKY FISH HORSESHOE HEAT B STAKES 1000m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 29)    

First Origin and Connery can be prominent. MAJOR TOMMIE (2) is racing well and wasn't far from the winner last time and rates highly. Go close. SERENGETTI SUN (10) has won only try course and distance. Fitter and looks a top chance. DONQUERARI (1) finds it hard to win with six victories from 67 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1000m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. CIRCUMBENDIBUS (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 2 lengths into fourth. No surprise to see him in the mix.
