NEXT FAIRVIEW RACEMEETING FRIDAY 18 APRIL CLASSIFIED STAKES 1200m Track: AW |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Abundant pace from Sweet And True, Silvery Surfer and Electric Storm vying for the lead with War Sword on their backs. CHAMPONELLE (6) has produced two good second place finishes since winning his maiden. It is encouraging that Marco van Rensburg steps back into the saddle and the combination may find themselves in the winner's enclosure. SWEET AND TRUE (1) was given a perfect ride by Luyolo Mxothwa when winning his last start over this course and distance last start. He raced from just off the pace, moved up well and kept finding all the way to the line. He is in a good space and can follow up. COASTAL PATH (3) finished fourth of seven last time out as favourite over 1200m at this track. Has a sound record here with three wins and five placings from 17 starts. Best form puts him right in this. SILVERY SURFER (2) scored last start at this track over 1200m at long odds and is expected to go forward here. In the mix.
