SAF - FAIRVIEW AW   26 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

DIAGEO OPEN MAIDEN 2000m

Track: STANDARD      

Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Dead Poets Society and Can We Start. SATELLITE WORLD (3) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1800m at Fairview All Weather when he was prominent throughout. In the minor money in his last five runs. Go close. STRAIGHT RED (4) is still a maiden after 10 starts. Managed to find the placings at Fairview All Weather two starts back before finishing fourth over 1800m at Fairview All Weather last start. Cannot be left out of calculations. PEEKABOO (5) continues to improve and should be at his peak now after finishing in the money at Fairview All Weather over 1600m last time. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. CAN WE START (8) is a five-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 6 lengths when sixth over 1900m at Fairview All Weather. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
