PREVIEW: FAIRVIEW (POLYTRACK) - 18 APRIL 2014

A BIT OF ALRIGHT has finished fourth on three occasions and second last time in only four runs. Stays on well. Biggest threat will be DANCING NATASHA. She has improved in her last two but doesn't start well. SAY HI made a good debut last time. Should improve. SINGITA SUNRISE will need to repeat her penultimate start. VISHNEE weakened on debut last time. Can improve.

1st – A BIT OF ALRIGHT (37/10) (1); 2nd – DANCING NATASHA (9/4 F) (2); 3rd – SAY HI (5); 4th - SINGITA SUNRISE (7); 5th – VISHNEE (9)

ROARING SEA weakened on debut last time. Can improve at this track. SEATTLE SAINT has more to find but this is no strong field. FUTURE LEADER improved by nine lengths last time. That was his second start. Respect. LORD KELLY improved by ten lengths in his second start last time. Can place. WHISTLE INN makes his debut. Betting could be significant.

1st – ROARING SEA (15/20 F) (3); 2nd – SEATTLE SAINT (5); 3rd – FUTURE LEADER (1); 4th - LORD KELLY (2); 5th – WHISTLE INN (7)

DIOCESE is improving. Was run out of it last time. Should go close. HERMANUS ran his best race in ten last time. That was his PE debut. Should go very close. BILLY OF BEAUMONT finished in steady fashion last time when staying on. BULTA did not stay on last time. ATSO FIELDS runs for the seventeenth time. Has had a few chances.

1st – DIOCESE (5/2) (1); 2nd – HERMANUS (2/1 F) (3); 3rd – BILLY OF BEAUMONT (5); 4th - BULTA (2); 5th – ATSO FIELDS (6)

SUGAR PRISM could be coming back to form again. Usually finishes well. GIULIANI runs well at this track. A big threat and will be finishing well. BLACK BALLADEER makes his PE debut. Has had a few decent races in KZN. Watch for improvement. ICEMAN ran the race of his lifetime last time. ENEMY AT THE GATE also makes his PE debut. Had one decent run from three starts in Cape Town.

1st – SUGAR PRISM (5/1) (11); 2nd – GIULIANI (357/100 F) (5); 3rd – BLACK BALLADEER  (33/ 10 F) (1); 4th - ICEMAN (6); 5th – ENEMY AT THE GATE (2); ADD - DON'T CARE (3)

MY JELLY BEAN is never too far back. Takes a rise in class. Could take it on form. COVARIANCE could have won any of  his last two starts. Should go close. RIVER TING is a horse that interests me. He comes off a lengthy break. Last ran in February 2013. He could cause an upset at 50/1 and over the shortest trip. He has been racing over two and a half times this distance. A small each way bet could be the way to go. SUSTAIN SPACE has recovered some form. Not out of it. BENEDICT is C & D suited and won well last time. Load up in the exotics.

1st – MY JELLY BEAN (66/10) (9); 2nd – COVARIANCE (11); 3rd – RIVER TING (1); 4th - SUSTAIN SPACE (3); 5th – BENEDICT (357/100 F) (4)

BLOW ME A KISS  ran well over 1400m when winning last time. Is distance suited. Another big run likely. CRUZWITHMECAPTAIN is in good form and ran on well this trip but on turf. Expect another good run. I GOT YOU BABE stayed on when showing improvement last time. IRISH MAID has been running on and should run into the money. DAINTREE DANCER was not well last time. May improve.

1st – BLOW ME A KISS (2/1 F) (1); 2nd – CRUZWITHMECAPTAIN (11); 3rd – I GOT YOU BABE (2); 4th - IRISH MAID (3); 5th – DAINTREE DANCER (5)

VAUCLAIR won a feature race on turf last time. Runs for the first time on this track. CAP ALRIGHT finished a distance behind VAUCLAIR and once again meet at level weights. IN A RUSH has run at this track but last run was way below best. LITTLE PEARL won his last two very well but this will be tougher. MURMERING SKY has good KZN form and is never too far away.

1st – VAUCLAIR (5/2 F) (2); 2nd – CAP ALRIGHT (1); 3rd – IN A RUSH (4); 4th - LITTLE PEARL (8); 5th – MURMERING SKY (9)

LAURIE'S DANCER goes for the hat trick. Runs well at this track. Will be running on and on form is the one to beat. HOUSE OF WAX is holding form well but has not shown in two runs this track. ZEZINHO CAMPEAO has been weakening. At best could place. SPELLCASTER should have his latest effort ignored. Will be better over this distance. KANTAKA will also prefer this distance.

1st – LAURIE'S DANCER (37/10 F) (8); 2nd – HOUSE OF WAX (3); 3rd – ZEZINHO CAMPEAO (1); 4th - SPELLCASTER (2); 5th – KANTAKA (7)

BERRYMILLER showed some form return last time when running on. Can make the winner's box. COMMANCHE MOON takes on far weaker this afternoon. Not disgraced last time when finishing sixth. HE'S A NADOE has good form and gets the services of S'Manga Khumalo. BLACK THUNDER disappointed last time. Better than that run. PIANO FOREST ran on well and showed improvement when making his PE debut last time.

1st – BERRYMILLER (17/2) (7); 2nd – COMMANCHE MOON (1); 3rd – HE'S A NADOE (9/4 F) (3); 4th - BLACK THUNDER (4); 5th – PIANO FOREST (11)
