Durbanville Race 3

Lucky Fish Turf Luck Maiden Plate

Stake: $10,101

NIGHTRAIN (7) has produced two good efforts to date. He raced from just off the pace over 1000m last time, but found one too good on the day. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He is coming along the right way and should be the horse to beat. DELTA PRIDE (9) produced a promising debut effort over 1000m at Kenilworth last start. He took time to find his feet but the manner in which he finished off his race was eye-catching. The son of Hawwaam would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be competitive. USA DANCER (6) ran a fair race on debut over 1200m at Kenilworth last start. The son of The United States would have come on from the run and should make the natural improvement needed. LOVING PRAGUE (1) is on debut for the W A Nel stable. Should get into a favourable position after jumping from an inside gate and can place.
