NEXT FAIRVIEW RACEMEETING FRIDAY 30 JANUARY APPRENTICE CLASSIFIED STAKES 2000m

Track: AW      

Expecting Canford Queen and Blackberry Breeze to press forward and set the tempo. BLACKBERRY BREEZE (5) lines up on the back of a 3 length fifth over 1900m at this track. Been racing well without winning and with the claim and inside draw here gets chance. PYROMANIAC (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MAKHACHEV (1) raced below his best last time when eighth over 2000m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is likely to play a big role. BAHAMIAN BEAT (6) comes here following a win over 1600m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.
