Durbanville Race 4 - Lucky Fish Sahara Riches Cash Collect Apprentice Class 5
READY FOR THE ROAD (4) sets the standard on consistency, having won at this track two runs ago before going to Fairview Aw as favourite and missing by only half a length. The move to 2000m is the question after one previous unplaced try around the trip, but the class drop, track win and first-time blinkers give him the strongest winning profile. SUPERHERO (2) has been heavily backed at his past two starts and placed both times, including a close third at this venue last start, so he looks reliable without yet putting the race away. GOLD INDEX (3) beat Master Coiner at Kenilworth two back and then held his form with a close third at this track, with his 2000m record a clear asset. RUN FOR COVER (1) has placed at his past two and gets a kinder set-up, though he has to turn around a recent line through GOLD INDEX.

Put together two improved efforts in Open grade, finishing second at this track last start when beaten a length by Phantom Man after starting at generous odds. The start prior he was third at Kenilworth, beaten two lengths behind Gold Index, so there is a recent form line to overturn. Class and weight relief help, and barrier 1 suits his racing style, but he profiles more as an each-way hope than the one to beat.

Continues to race well without quite converting, running third at this track last start in Open company after being heavily backed favourite and beaten just over a length. He had also finished third at Kenilworth over 1800m behind Baton Rouge, again as favourite. Blinkers go on for the first time and the class drop is useful, so he looks a genuine place chance with winning claims if sharper late.

Held his form well when third at this track last start in Open grade, beaten a length and a half by Phantom Man after being near the top of betting. That followed a Kenilworth win over 1800m, where he beat Master Coiner by just under two lengths. He is proven around 2000m, gets weight relief and looks well placed to be prominent again, though others may have slightly more upside.

Returns from a two-month break after a solid Fairview Aw second over 1600m, beaten half a length as favourite in Open grade. He had won his maiden at this track the run before, scoring by a nose from Born To Master, and his overall profile is more consistent than most of these. The step to 2000m asks a question after one unplaced try, but the class drop, track record, claim and first-time blinkers make him the clear winning chance.

Second-up after finishing fifth at this track in Open grade, beaten two and a half lengths by Phantom Man when an outside chance in the betting. She had been well held at Kenilworth before that, finishing last and beaten over 12 lengths. The class drop and track record give her some footing, but she is unplaced in two runs at the distance and must find a stronger finish.
