SAF - FAIRVIEW   13 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 PINNACLE STAKES 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 28)    

Pace only fair with Cheeky Laddie rolling to the lead ahead of Zinovi and Guy Gibson. ZINOVI (1) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in third last start over 1800m at this track. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in five starts, including three wins. Expected to go close. LANCIAFIAMME (5) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a nose over 1800m at this track. All five career wins have been here. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. GUY GIBSON (6) was not far away last time out, finishing fourth over 1200m at this track. The extra journey should play into his hands. Poses a significant threat. GOLDEN PEACE (4) finished fourth last time out over 1800m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Has a solid record here with three wins from seven starts. Major player.
