GOING:

NEXT FAIRVIEW RACEMEETING FRIDAY 26 JUNE CLASSIFIED STAKES 2000m

Track: STANDARD      

Plenty of pace on show, headed by Mont Tremblant, Lucky Chance and Wild Fig. WILD FIG (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 15 starts. Best form is here though and leading rider stays aboard and record reads well. Gets chance to find winning form. DARLING GIRL (12) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 2.75 lengths victory over 1900m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Should be poised just off the lead. Among the leading chances. GARDEN SUN (6) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1900m at this track when beaten 2.75 lengths. Should park just off the speed. Will be in this for a long way. DONNY'S BOY (7) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2200m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh. Finds a nice race and can atone.

The start before that favourite; won by 3 len at this track June 8 over 2000m defeating Lana View carrying 50.8kg at $5.50. Rates highly and hard to fault recent form. Big chance.
