Scottsville Race 2 - Lucky Fish New Fortune Maiden Juvenile Plate
QUEST OF VALOR (9) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1200m at this track when third, beaten 5 lengths. Got home hard in a big field to place. Will benefit from that experience so he will prove tough to beat. ONE PEPPER (3) is a two-year-old colt on debut. From an elite family that includes Grade 1 winner Sweet Pepper, being by One World from the stakes winner Green Pepper. FLAMETHROWER (7) debuted three weeks ago when he finished fourth over 1200m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Finished just off QUEST OF VALOR. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well. NIGHTMAREONELMST (10) is a two-year-old colt who was purchased for ZAR R 250,000 (Bloodstock South Africa 2025 National Yearling Sale). Watch for leads from market fluctuations.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, 10th of 16 at this track on February 18 over 1200m, 11 len behind Steamy Windows carrying 57.5kg at $101. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.

At debut, 4th of 16 at this track on February 18 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Steamy Windows carrying 60kg at $17. Got home well in a big field to just miss the frame. Will have benefited from that outing and is likely to measure up.

Jumped at big odds at debut, 3rd of 16 at this track on February 18 over 1200m, 5 len behind Steamy Windows carrying 58.5kg at $41. Wound up strongly in a big field to place. Improver who can get off the mark this time.

Was at long odds at debut, ran last of 16 at this track on February 18 over 1200m, 30 len behind Steamy Windows with 60kg at $34. Needs to do a lot more than he did on debut.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, 8th of 12 at this track on December 14 over 1000m, 10 len behind Master Magician carrying 60kg at $51. Second-up second last of 8 at this track on January 25 over 1000m, 8 len behind Master Magician carrying 60kg at $41. Big chance.
