SAF - FAIRVIEW   24 May 2024
 
GOING: N

FAIRVIEW 1400 1400m

Track: AW   Rain (Max: 18)    

Cherry Ano has enough early speed to find the lead at a decent clip. CHERRY ANO (1) won well last start over 1600m on this course. He is unbeaten from two starts over this course and distance. He is in a good space and he can notch up the hat-trick. INHERIT THE RAIN (5) was running on well when finishing third of nine over 1200m on the polytrack last time. He finished third in his only attempt over this course and distance. If getting away to a clean start from pole position, he should be figuring in the finish. BRENDEN JAMES (8) is a distance specialist who could only manage fourth two runs back then improved last start to finish third of nine over 1900m at Fairview All Weather. Meets a stronger field here but he is well up to the task. THE MAURITIAN (7) improved sharply last time out to score by a nose over 1600m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can feature prominently.
