Durbanville Race 4 - Lucky Fish Lucky Break Maiden Plate
PHANTOM MAN (2) has been edging towards a win. Solid run last time when just missed as favourite and can go one better this time. I AM SAM (7) really wound up strongly over 1400m latest and looks suited by the extra ground now. Worth following up. FREQUENT TRAVELLER (10) is overdue and was strong to the line over a bit further in the latest. Sure to be right there at the business end. FORT LIAM (3) is another overdue for a win with a few strong runs back to back. Genuine hope.

Returns from a 29-day let-up. At the latest run 6th of 12 at Kenilworth on January 13 over 1400m, 7 len behind District Master with 59kg at $9.50. The race before that 6th of 13 at Kenilworth on December 21 over 1200m, 4 len behind Influence with 60kg at $2.80. Really wound up strongly over 1400m latest and looks suited by the extra ground now. Worth following up.
