Durbanville Race 3 - Lucky Fish Magic Mile Middle Stakes
IN A TIMELY MANNER (4) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1600m at this track last time out. Has a win and four minor placings at this journey from six starts and is a leading contender. MIAMI SUMMER (2) closed too well to score by half a length last time out over 1400m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Was a winner at the only previous third-up run. Big chance make it two on end. CLARK GRISWOLD (1) finished second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten half a length. Up to open class but big weight drop and racing well. Has to be considered. SOHO HEARTTHROB (6) built on a nice third two starts back at Kenilworth with a win over 1600m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a long neck. Likely to be in the finish again.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 39-day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 8 at this track on July 14 over 1600m, long-neck behind Soho Heartthrob with 57kg at $2.10. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Kenilworth on June 21 over 1600m, long-neck behind Blind Date with 60kg at $2.40. Close to a win. Doesn't need to improve much to salute.
