SAF - FAIRVIEW   20 Feb 2026
 
GOING:

IBHAYI STAKES 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 22)    

Moderate tempo expected with Silva City likely to find the front over Buffalo Bill and Royal Kingdom. POMP IT UP (3) is a progressive type who was solid fresh and unbeaten second-up from two tries. Big improver expected to go close. BUFFALO BILL (1) is yet to miss the frame from eight starts including four wins. Won only try course and distance last time. Go close again. ROYAL KINGDOM (2) is yet to miss the frame here and won three on end before placing behind Buffalo Bill latest. Hard to beat again. SILVA CITY (5) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1300m contest at Fairview All Weather last time out by half a length. Hard to knock.
