Durbanville Race 3 - Lucky Fish Maiden Dash Open Maiden
BONELLI (7) wound up strongly last time out to finish a long neck adrift in second over 1600m at this track. Has a big finish and looks close to getting off the mark. PROTECTOR OF PEACE (3) has three placings from four runs this preparation, most recently finishing third as favourite over 1200m at Kenilworth after being prominent at the bend. Has the advantage of a good draw. Likely to be in the finish again. WATERFRONT (5) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 1.75 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1400m at this track four weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Among the chances. OH SO ONEDERFUL (4) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
