Mauritius Race 7 - 7f Stakes
LAVA COUNTY (4) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 1450m at this track. Yet to miss the frame from three starts at this trip, including a win. Will be tough to hold out again. RIVER HAWK (5) was last at the races when he finished third over 1400m at this track on December 21. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. BRAND NEW WORLD (2) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1600m at this track. Can play a role. FORTUNE HUNTER (3) resumes from a spell of 16 months and is having his first outing under new trainer Shirish Narang. Finished fourth at Greyville All Weather over 1400m at the opening run last time in work. Keeping safe.

Last start eased back early on 8th of 10 at this track on June 13 over 1600m, 7 len behind Master Of Mystery with 56.5kg at $10.30. Before that won by 0.9 len at this track May 23 over 1500m defeating Kola Tonic carrying 60.5kg at $19.20. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
