GOING:

NEXT FAIRVIEW RACEMEETING FRIDAY 27 JUNE MIDDLE STAKES 1800m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 18)    

Solid tempo from Only A Poet, Brenden James and Harold The Duke battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. GREEN MANDARIN (9) should have finished closer to the winner in his stable debut over 1600m on this course, as he had no luck in the straight. He would have come on from the run and will like the rise to 1800m. He does have a wide draw to contend with, but Andrew Fortune should give him all the necessary assistance needed from the saddle. JUAN CARLOS (4) was an easy winner of his last start over 2000m on this course. He is in a good space and can follow up with another victory. MASTER FORESTER (1) is better than his last start run would suggest. He drops back in distance and on previous form, he should be finishing in the money. PEACE IN OUR WORLD (2) stayed on well when third of eight on this course last time when sent out at long odds. He has won over this course and distance previously. Back in form is worth including in combinations.
