Durbanville Race 3 - Lucky Fish Hot Hot Fruit Mdn Plate
CATCH ME (2) Just missed last start at Kenilworth and good career start. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Been in the money multiple times this preparation and drawn nicely. Will give a strong sight. ZANFAN MORIS (1) Ran 5th last time at Kenilworth. Should improve here and has minimal work to do from the alley. Likely to be well placed early. K De Melo rates highly aboard. One of the better chances. YOU MADE ME LOOK (5) Back from break. Finished 3rd last run at this venue. Definite winning chance. CANNON BOLT (6) Came in 7th last run at Scottsville but facing a rise in trip. Might have to make up considerable ground. Minor claims.

Was $8.50 and came in 5th last time at Kenilworth. Should improve here and has the ideal barrier. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Absolutely right in this.

Narrowly beaten last start at Kenilworth and has a positive barrier. Should jump out and bowl along. Producing consistent results since returning from a break. Tough competitor.

Was $81.00 and sub-standard effort when 6th last run around here and has to cope with a weight increase. Expecting to settle positively. Others much better.

Jumped at $41.00 and average performance when 11th last start at Kenilworth but was a debutant last start. Gets back and needs luck. Racing over more ground. Overlook from a betting angle.

Jumped at $8.00 and finished 7th last run at Scottsville but rising in distance. Likely to get back in the field. Can run into the placings.
