Greyville Race 6

Lucky Fish Mystic Dash Mr 96 Open Hcp (3 Year Olds)

Prize Money: $13,617

RISING EAGLE (5) Back after break. Just missed last time at Turffontein and showing consistent performance in races. Has shown early pace in races to date. Sure to be thereabouts. NAUTICAL FIRE (2) Showed promise when winning by 1L last run at this venue and promising career start. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Should go close. SPANISH WORLD (1) First up after a break. Brave effort to win narrowly by 1/2L last time at Durbanville and solid career start. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Must be considered. MAJOR LEAGUE (4) Solid win by 1L last run around here. Won last 2 in succession. Likely to get back. Can get the job done.

Returns from a lengthy five-month spell after winning a FM MPLTE at Durbanville, where she was sent out favourite and beat Odds And Evens by half a length. Her previous second to Scandalize at Kenilworth on soft ground was also sound, and she is one from one at this distance. Race fitness is the obvious gap against sharper rivals, so she will have to return at a new level to upset the main hopes.

Resumed with a useful BM70 win at this track, beating Dog Soldier by just over a length after firming near the top of an open market. That followed a narrow Greyville Aw maiden win when also well backed, so the current form line is honest. He has won at this track and trip and should get a suitable run near the speed, but this asks for another small lift to turn place claims into a winning result.

Comments

Arrives in excellent form after consecutive wins at this track, most recently taking a BM82 over 1200m by just over a length from Follow Your Heart. He had earlier beaten Casino Royale by two and a half lengths, and his two-from-two record at this venue reads strongly. The first try around 1400m is the query, but Tristan Godden has won two from three on him and the winning case remains persuasive.

Was last at Turffontein Standside in Open company, beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in the market, with no clear excuse supplied. His prior run at this venue was also plain, finishing 11th and beaten just under ten lengths. The 1400m record is a genuine positive, but top weight and the quick back-up leave him with plenty to find on recent evidence.

Resumed in Open company at Turffontein Standside and was not disgraced, finishing eighth and beaten just over four lengths at long odds. He had earlier run third in a BM88 at Vaal behind Mount Darwin when heavily backed favourite, and his broader season record is solid. The distance still carries some risk, but the quick back-up is assessed as a plus and he has enough substance for the placings.
