FAIRVIEW WELCOMES THE SA JOCKEY ACADEMY APPRENTICE CLASSIFIED STAKES 2000m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 22) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Expecting a genuine pace with a number of these pressing forward. Even race for the apprentice riders. BACK FOR MORE (2) has been in great form, just missing this trip two back then scoring over a mile last time. Drops in weight with the claim and expected to go close again. BEER WITH THE BOYS (8) has been a while out of the winners list but is going well without success. Fifth behind Back For More last time and does meet her worse at the weights but best figures stack up and looks a definite threat again. OLIVE OYL (9) has been racing well including a narrow defeat last time. Has the featherweight here and looks a top chance again. FLASH LIGHTNING (7) is another racing well and is long overdue to break through. Has placed last three and was beaten just a head behind Back For More two back.
