NEXT FAIRVIEW RACEMEETING FRIDAY 8 AUGUST MR 66 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT   Clouds (Max: 27)    

Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. ROUGAROUIN (5) showed very good improvement when second in his local debut over 1200m on the polytrack. He may have cost himself winning that day as he hung inwards over the final 250m. He would have come on from the run and if confirming his recent improvement, he can go one better. MUNCHKIN (4) is better than his last start over 1200m on the polytrack. His form prior to that outing on the turf was fair. Has each-way claims. BUFFALO BILL (2) made the expected natural improvement when winning his last start over this course and distance. He takes on stronger rivals but he has plenty of scope and should be well up to the task at hand. DANISH DYNAMITE (3) was an easy winner of her last start over 1200m on the polytrack. She is coming along the right way and can finish in the placings.
