Races ARB Fairview - SAF

Held his form together strongly when winning over 1400m at this track last start, beating All Systems Go by a neck while near the top of betting. He had been a heavily backed favourite when second to Cruise Control at this venue over 1200m the run prior, so the current campaign profile is hard to fault. The mile remains a small question, but his synthetic record and Richard Fourie combination make him a major winning chance.

Finished last of five over 1200m at this track a fortnight ago, beaten just over seven lengths by Anuschka's World after being near the top of an open market. His previous fourth to Danish Dynamite was more competitive, and the 1600m record is genuinely useful. Even so, he has been unplaced in all three starts this season, so he appeals more as an outsider than a leading hope.

Went very close at this track last start, finishing second to Mercantour by a neck after firming as a well-supported favourite. That followed a decisive NPLTE win at this venue over 1200m, where he beat Ventura Boulevard by just under three lengths. He has placed twice from three tries at the mile and Craig Zackey stays aboard, so he is a genuine chance to run another bold race.

Ran better than his price suggested when fourth to Mercantour at this track last start, beaten just under two lengths at big odds. He had also finished fourth to Cruise Control the run prior after firming from bigger odds, so the recent form is respectable without being dominant. His mile record offers some support, but he still has to find a sharper winning edge against these.

Returns from a five-week let-up after winning a BM96 at Fairview, where he was well backed and beat Montelena by half a length over 1400m. He comes back from 60kg to 57kg, has already won at around 1600m, and was only beaten just under three lengths at this venue the start prior. With the class drop in his favour and the recent win confirming his form, he looks the runner to beat.

Worked into the placings behind Mercantour at this track last start, finishing third and beaten just under two lengths despite being unwanted in the market. The run prior was only fair when fourth in a BM88, but his record at this track and distance is a genuine asset. With Muzi Yeni back aboard and suitable mile credentials, he profiles as a sound place hope.

Finished sixth behind Mercantour at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths and unwanted in betting. That was an improvement on his previous last placing behind Cruise Control, but the market has offered little encouragement in either run this campaign. He gets in light and has won at the distance, yet others bring stronger recent credentials.
