GOING: G(4)

SEACORP - FAIRETHA STAKES 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Horcrux leading the way. Progressive colt SEPTEMBER BORN (5) was clearly the run of the race first-up in the Belgravia, coming from a mile back to finish just 0.3L off the winner. He draws out again, but he gets the blinkers on first time today and it's hard to see the horses who finished behind him turn the tables today. OLYMPIC PARK (7) is another who looks to possess some class, coming into this undefeated after a nice win last time out. This is much tougher, but he's untapped and has all the makings of a smart horse. Can put himself in the finish. HORCRUX (6) stuck on well in the Belgravia after doing plenty of work early. Draws a much better gate today and drops in weight this time out. Can be in this for a very long way. THE MERRYMAN (11) just missed in Open 3YO company last start and now gets Pike in the saddle from a good draw. Needs to improve but is open to doing just that. STREET BAND (3) was good late in the Belgravia and can improve now. SUGGESTED PLAY: September Born is the one to beat.
