GOING: N

NEXT FAIRVIEW RACEMEETING FRIDAY 19 APRIL MR 80 HANDICAP 1400m Track: AW 3m out at the 421m mark
Big field and with plenty of pace engaged they are not likely to loaf. AMERICAN DREAM (9) is a winner of his last two starts over this course and distance. He raced from a handy position last time out and fought hard to the line to score by a nose. He resumes from a spell and having won in that state previously can easily notch up the hat-trick. DONNY TEE (3) resumes from a spell having placed in his last four starts. He tries the 1400m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer should go close to taking this race out. COASTAL PATH (10) showed good pace over 1200m on the turf last time but was outrun late, finishing a close-up third of 12 when well supported. With luck in the running after jumping from his wide draw should go another solid race. LIFE ON MARS (1) resumed from a spell to score by a neck over 1200m on this course last start when well supported. He has placed previously when produced second-up and jumping from the inside gate can add to that record. Include in exotic bets.
