Durbanville Race 7 - Lucky Fish Mystic Fortune Class 4
VERCICAT (3) ran on strongly only to just miss last start over 1250m at this track. Will derive great benefit from recent racing. Overdue for a win and just missed in a similar race here last time. Can go one better. BEHAVE HARRIS (7) lines up on the back of a 2 length fourth over 1250m at this track as favourite. Race sets up well for him. PARATROOPER (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1250m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Nearing a win with placings three of last four. Genuine contender. LIKE DYNAMITE (6) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when fourth over 1200m at Kenilworth, beaten 3 lengths. Has ability and expected to feature.

At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track on August 22 over 1250m, 4.5 len behind Avignon carrying 61kg at $9.50. The run before that 5th of 7 at Greyville All Weather on July 15 over 1200m, 2 len behind Chicarito carrying 55kg at $6.50. Nearing a win with placings three of last four. Genuine contender.
