SAF - FAIRVIEW AW   22 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 PINNACLE STAKES 1200m

Track: STANDARD      

Sizzling pace from Cruise Control, Imaginable and Play Act locking horns ahead of Cliff Top and Roman Agent. FAIRY KNIGHT (2) is going well placing on the turf two back then scoring here as favourite last time out over 1400m. Has the ability to take care of this field. ROMAN AGENT (7) has been in good form, scoring three back at Fairview then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second over 1000m at this track. Tackling a more suitable race so he is likely to play a big role. CLIFF TOP (4) finished fifth two runs back at Fairview then improved last time out to score by 1.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner over 1000m at this track. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is all set to build on that latest effort. CRUISE CONTROL (1) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1000m at Fairview, beaten a long neck. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Nicely placed to take this out.
