NEXT FAIRVIEW RACEMEETING WEDNESDAY 10 SEPTEMBER MR 80 HANDICAP 2000m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 20)    

Looks a solid tempo with Painite finding the front. HEART STEALER (3) is much better than his last start resuming run would suggest. He has won twice and finished second three times from six starts on this course. Richard Fourie steps back into the saddle and the combination may find themselves in the winner's enclosure. PAINITE (1) won a game race over this course and distance last time. He jumps from pole position and merits healthy respect. GEORGE HANDEL (8) won a good race over this course and distance last time. He gets the services of the 4kg claiming apprentice Girish Dookhit which will assist his cause. He is in a good space and can't be discounted. MAKHACHEV (2) performed well last start when second at this track over 2000m. Appeals as a leading player.
