WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY MAIDEN PLATE 1000m
PRINCESS CHANTE (7) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1000m at Fairview All Weather. Got a long way back but found the line strongly. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. ETERNAL SPIRIT (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fourth in a 1400m contest at Fairview All Weather six weeks ago after being in the firing line on the turn. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. STORM BALLET (1) is returning from a spell of four months. Finished sixth at Turffontein Standside over 1600m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer D A Mckenzie. Can make her presence felt. CAMBIASO (9) is a three-year-old filly facing the starter for the first time. From a very strong family, being by The United States from the former top race mare Enchanted Kingdom. |

WWW.TAB.CO.ZA MAIDEN PLATE 1400m
LOVE FROM AFAR (1) met with solid support last start over 1400m at Fairview All Weather when second, beaten 2.25 lengths. Overdue for a win. Nice alley and can make amends. MONKEY'S WEDDING (2) finished 1.75 lengths away in third last time out at Fairview All Weather. On a seven-day back-up. Nice run last time and shapes as a major threat. WINDOW TO MY SOUL (3) is a 13-start maiden who finished eighth, beaten 11 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1900m at Fairview All Weather. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. CARAVANTOVACCARES (10) is a well-related three-year-old gelding lining up for the first time. By Erik The Red from Gypsy Madonna who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Ready to run well despite an awkward barrier. |

RACING TODAY MIDDLE STAKES 2000m
Good race with plenty of form but WILD FIG (2) had been in great form. Won three on end before finishing second last time out over 2000m at this track. Hard to fault and can find winning form again. ABOVE THE HORIZON (3) was an emphatic winner last time over 1600m at Fairview All Weather with today's rider Chase Maujean engaged. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and five minor placings from eight outings. Among the leading chances. MAKHACHEV (1) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 2000m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. LAGUNA VERDE (4) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third over 1600m at Fairview All Weather. Likely improver with strong prospects. |

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MR 96 HANDICAP 1400m
SILVONIAN (5) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish fourth over 1600m at Fairview All Weather at his latest appearance. Has a high cruising speed. Not far away last time in open class. Gets chance to atone. JOKER MAN (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1000m at Fairview All Weather, beaten 1.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DON'T CRY FOR ME (1) finished sixth over 1800m at Turffontein Standside at his most recent appearance on July 5. Now under the care of new trainer Alan Greeff. Makes plenty of appeal. MONTELENA (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1300m at Fairview All Weather, beaten 2.25 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts. |

#YOUCANBETONUS! CLASSIFIED STAKES 1400m
BLAME IT ON ME (3) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at Fairview All Weather. Chad Little who has two wins when partnering stays on. Placed 2/2 here. Likely to feature. GIVETHATMANABELLS (4) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when sixth over 1400m at Fairview All Weather after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. RULES OF CONDUCT (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at Fairview All Weather, beaten 4 lengths. The engagement of Richard Fourie is noteworthy. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EL CAPITAN (9) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when third over 1200m at Fairview All Weather. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Deserves respect on best figures. |

TAB 4RACING APP FM 66 HANDICAP 1200m
RED BIRCH (7) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by half a length over 1200m at Fairview All Weather. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Winning rider Craig Zackey stays aboard and she is a key runner. DAFFODIL DELIGHT (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when seventh over 1200m at this track five weeks ago. Worth noting Richard Fourie goes aboard. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. QUEEN OF JAZZ (8) is back from a break of ten weeks. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when ninth over 1400m at Fairview All Weather. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. MARKETA (5) has not won for a long while. Last raced on August 21 when beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth at Fairview All Weather over 1300m after being prominent until the final stages. Can turn things around. |

TAB TELEBET 011 074 0300 MR 86 HANDICAP 1200m
ASTRONOMICAL BOY (2) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on March 4, finishing ninth and beaten 8 lengths over 1400m at Durbanville. Lining up today for the first time for trainer Dean Smith. Comes here with definite claims. DETAILED FORECAST (7) didn’t threaten when resuming last start over 1000m at Fairview All Weather, finishing fifth, beaten 3 lengths. Has been in the money at each second up start. Among the winning hopes. FIRST OFFICER (11) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1400m at Fairview All Weather, clocking in 6 lengths from the winner as favourite. Must be respected. SPECIAL STAR (13) closed last campaign with three consecutive minor placings and is back today after a break of three-and-a-half months. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. One of the better hopes. |

NEXT FAIRVIEW RACEMEETING FRIDAY 18 SEPTEMBER MR 68 HANDICAP 1600m
PYRO EDITION (2) lifted strongly only to just miss last start over 1600m at Fairview All Weather. Overdue for a win and looks hard to beat in this suitable race. HOSPICES DE BEAUNE (3) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Fairview All Weather, finishing second and only a neck from the winner at the end of 1400m after being prominent at the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ROYAL DAWN (7) wasn't far away last time at big odds, finishing fourth over 1400m at Fairview All Weather. Capable of testing this field. RUN THE WORLD (10) saluted two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when second over 1400m at Fairview All Weather, beaten 1.5 lengths. Worth another chance. |
