Races ARB Fairview - SAF

Placed again when third in a MPLTE over 1600m at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths behind Scented Path after drawing some market support. He had also been third the run prior, beaten just under two lengths by Silva Streaker, and his overall profile is one of reliability rather than a sharp winning edge. With six placings from nine starts at this venue and solid 1400m credentials, he sets the standard to beat.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a sound second at this track, beaten a length and a half by Madra Rua in a small-field Mdn. His previous run was also respectable when fourth over 1200m, beaten two lengths behind Royal Dawn at outside odds. Lightly raced enough to have improvement in him, and that recent placing gives him a practical minor-money profile.

Resumes from a five-month break after ending his last campaign with a well-held last over 1800m at this track behind Osmium. The run prior was only fair when fifth at Fairview, beaten nine lengths by Pick A Pomodoro, despite being near the top of an open market. He has yet to place in two tries around 1400m, so a much sharper fresh return is required.

Back from a three-month break after finishing third at this track over 1200m, beaten just under five lengths by Taste The Rainbow at big odds. His prior second reads better on paper than in substance, with the margin more than 12 lengths behind Soundsofsymphonies. He has placed twice from two starts at this venue, but 1400m is new and he has to raise the level.

Worked through the line fairly when fourth over 2000m at this track last start, beaten four lengths by Secret Eruption while near the top of an open market. He had been fifth at Fairview before that, beaten just over four lengths by Dead Poets Society. The key support is his track-and-distance record, with three placings from four attempts, so he profiles as a genuine placing hope.

Found less than expected when fifth at this track last start, beaten seven lengths by Alesian Beau after firming near the top of an open market. His previous fourth behind Ain'T No Sunshine was more competitive, beaten just over two lengths at long odds. A 26-start maiden record tempers confidence, but he has enough recent evidence to be considered for exotics.

Kept battling when sixth over 1200m at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths behind Ain'T No Sunshine at big odds. Two back he was fourth to Madra Rua, again at long odds, so the form is more competitive than his 17-start maiden record suggests. He is unplaced in eight tries around 1400m, but the class drop gives him a credible path into the race.

Resumes from a four-month break after a plain seventh at Scottsville, beaten nine and a half lengths by Anatoly at big odds. His previous run at Greyville was no better, finishing second last and unwanted in the market behind Coast Of The Sun. With three unplaced starts overall and no placing at this distance, he has to produce a clear career-best.

Back after a five-week freshening following a narrow second in an FM Mdn at this track, beaten a nose by Alleyah's Rocket at generous odds. That was a strong response after falling at her previous start, and she has now placed twice from four runs at this venue. With weight relief and a perfect draw, she brings a genuine winning case if she repeats that latest effort.

Resumes from a three-month break after finishing eighth on debut at Fairview, beaten six and a half lengths by Jewel Mule in a FM MPLTE. She is a R450,000 yearling purchase from a strong family that includes Greeting My Master, but the race evidence is still very light. From the outside barrier, she will have to show far more than she did first time out.
