SAF - FAIRVIEW 20 Sep 2024

GOING:

FRIENDLY CITY STAKES 1800m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 15)
Fast tempo assured with Pacaya, Cherry Ano and Zatara Magic going at each other early in the piece. PACAYA (1) took the lead at the 300m mark at Durbanville last time, but was caught in the shadow of the post when resuming from a spell. He has won once, finished second once and third twice from six starts over this distance. He will strip a much fitter horse and with a bit of luck from his wide draw should be too good for this field. FAIRY KNIGHT (4) was given a gun ride when winning his last start over 1300m on the polytrack. He has won four times and finished second three times from eight starts on this course. Should be fighting out the finish. JOY AND PEACE (8) is a winner of her last five starts. She is unbeaten from two starts over this distance and will be looking to keep that record intact. CHERRY ANO (2) won a game race in a Listed event last time. He is at his best over a shorter distance but in this line-up can't be ignored.
