Kenilworth Race 3 - Lucky Fish New Fortune Maiden Plate
FAST TRAIN (12) returned from a break of three months with a solid second last start at this track over 1000m when he was prominent throughout. The extra journey should play into his hands. Perfectly placed to salute. VOLEGOV (13) raced on the speed and was game in defeat when a close third last start over 1400m at Durbanville when well supported. Has registered two minor placings from four runs this preparation. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. MADRA RUA (3) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished ninth over 1400m at this track. Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at this track over 1200m. Rates highly and is a chance to break through. ZAGREB (11) returns after three months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three hope.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, second last of 14 at this track on January 13 over 1000m, 12 len behind Trailfinder with 60kg at $101. Might need more time based on that poor debut.
