GOING:

NEXT FAIRVIEW RACEMEETING WEDNESDAY 22 APRIL CLASSIFIED STAKES 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 22)    

Genuine pace with Hoodwinked finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. KLEINZEE (5) is a distance specialist who improved sharply on her seventh two starts back at Durbanville with success over 1600m at Fairview All Weather three weeks ago, getting home by a neck. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. A BIT CHILLY (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fourth over 1900m at Fairview All Weather five-and-a-half weeks ago after being in contention on the bend. Has the class to take care of this field. JOHNNY DRAMA (1) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 6 lengths when fourth in a 1200m contest at this track two weeks ago. Faces an easier assignment so he is one of the main contenders. QONDANEKUKHANYENI (8) finished third last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. In the mix.
