GOING:

NEXT FAIRVIEW RACEMEETING FRIDAY 21 AUGUST CLASSIFIED STAKES 2000m

Track: STANDARD      

Plenty of pressure with Royal Influencer, Blackberry Breeze and Global Drumbeat leading the charge. ROYAL INFLUENCER (1) broke through for his maiden win over 1500m at Durbanville last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths. Inside draw will assist and a bold showing is expected. GLENALMOND (6) made it two wins in succession last start when he scored by half a length over 2000m at Durbanville. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. SAN QUINTIN (4) finished fourth two runs back at Fairview All Weather then improved last time out to score by 2.5 lengths as favourite over 2000m at Fairview All Weather. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. TERMINAL VELOCITY (10) is better than recent form suggests. Placed 5/8 here and can sneak into the finish again.
