Kenilworth Race 3 - Lucky Fish New Fortune Open Mdn
CAPTAIN'S ANGEL (1) Was competitive when 2nd last run at Durbanville and has the ideal draw. Likely to be well placed early. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Up in weight. Warrants a bet. QUIET PLACE (3) Fresh after a spell. Was ordinary when 9th last start here. Richard Fourie and Des A Mclachlan have a good working relationship. Has shown early pace in races to date. Must respect in this event. SPARKLING SKY (6) Came in 7th last time at Durbanville. Capable of a strong comeback. Won't be far away during the run. Goes very close. WAR HAWK (7) Finished 5th last start at Durbanville. Has the potential to improve sharply and going over more ground. Each way appeal.

Has been safely held in two runs this campaign, finishing second last at Durbanville over 1600m last start when beaten just under six lengths at big odds. He was also last over 1250m at Durbanville the start prior, beaten over 13 lengths. Third-up and dropping in grade are positives, but the first attempt at around 1950m asks another question and he requires a sharper finish.

Returns from a lengthy three-month break after ending last campaign well beaten by 30 lengths at this track over 1800m. The run prior was much better when third at Durbanville, beaten just over three lengths as a heavily backed favourite. He has placed twice from four starts around 1950m and Richard Fourie goes on, but an unplaced record from ten starts at this venue keeps the assessment guarded.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing second last at Durbanville over 1400m, beaten just over nine lengths at long odds. Her previous fifth, beaten just under three lengths, was more encouraging, but she remains unplaced from five starts. Weight relief and the apprentice claim help her setup, while the first try at 1950m leaves plenty to prove against stronger profiles.

Made a sound debut at Durbanville over 1600m, finishing sixth but beaten just under three lengths behind Daley Park after being unwanted in the market. That reads well enough for this, especially with second-up improvement likely and a class drop now in play. The first look at around 1950m is a small query, but this R1.6m yearling purchase has the pedigree depth and recent-form rating to make him the horse to beat.

Resumed with a seventh at Durbanville over 1600m, beaten four and a half lengths after attracting some support despite long odds. The start prior was a heavier defeat at the same venue, but her broader profile includes two placings from three starts at this track. The 2.5kg claim assists, though her only previous try around 1950m produced no placing, so she profiles as a genuine minor hope.

Was beaten over 18 lengths when fifth at Durbanville last start over 1400m, and that followed a last placing over 1600m at the same venue. He does have two placings from six starts at this track and is now fourth-up with a class drop, but the recent margins are too heavy to ignore. First time around 1950m under a big weight leaves him with a serious task.

Finished fifth at Durbanville last start in a MPLTE over 1600m, beaten two and a half lengths at long odds behind Daley Park. That was a more competitive result than his previous fifth, when beaten over 11 lengths by Havoc. He remains unplaced from four starts and tackles around 1950m for the first time, but the R600,000 purchase lands with a strong trainer-jockey combination and has place claims.

Comes to his third run after finishing tenth at Durbanville over 1600m, beaten just under five lengths by Daley Park. That followed a debut eighth at this track where he started a well-supported favourite after firming, so there was early market confidence in the profile. Villeneuve has him covered on their latest meeting and 1950m is new, but race fitness and the class drop keep him a live winning chance.
