Durbanville Race 3 - Lucky Fish Diamond Rise Open Maiden
QUIET PLACE (1) Below par performance when 8th last start at Kenilworth but drawn beautifully. Fights on bravely so consider. HEAVENLY PRINCE (2) Resuming after a spell. Came in 5th last start at Kenilworth. Should improve here and has a good draw. Expected to settle towards the rear. This field suits. READY FOR THE ROAD (9) Right in the mix last run at this venue but hoping that the added weight won't hurt. Likely to get back. Strong chance. DOUBLE DISTILLED (6) Uncompetitive when 8th last run at Kenilworth. Key player.

Odds of $8.00 and underperformed when 8th last start at Kenilworth but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Right in this.

First run back from a break. Started $9.50 and finished 5th last start at Kenilworth. Should improve here and gets a favourable draw. Likely to get back in the run. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Started $67.00 and came in 7th last start at Kenilworth but facing an increased distance. Jockey Luyolo Mxothwa and trainer Lucinda Woodruff are a strong combination. Long shot.

Competed in a tight contest last run at the track but will have to carry more weight. Likely to get back in the field. Has claims.
