PREVIEW:FAIRVIEW (TURF) - 29 AUGUST 2014

A very tricky card.

NICE CATCH has run well in her last two. Has a shout in this field. SAIL INTOTHECLOUDS races for an in-form yard and top jockey. Has had two good runs. ROYAL KATE needs to find a better finish. DIAMOND CUT is a weak favourite on debut. Must have shown something at home. LEVONCA has not been too far back in her two starts but needs a better finish.

1st – NICE CATCH (71/10) (9); 2nd – SAIL INTOTHECLOUDS (17); 3rd – ROYAL KATE (3); 4th - DIAMOND CUT (5/1 F) (5); 5th – LEVONCA (15)

ONEMANWOLFPACK did get going late last time. Chance if repeating. BADGER'S TRAIL is a Mike Bass inmate. Has done enough in his nine runs to date to suggest that he has something of a shout. MULAAZEM has the form to win and will be doing his best work late. PICTURE BOOK made incredible improvement when racing in PE for the first time last time. is only his second run. DADDY COOL has not run since May. May need the run.

1st – ONEMANWOLFPACK (15/1) (7); 2nd – BADGER'S TRAIL (1); 3rd – MULAAZEM (37/10 F) (4); 4th - PICTURE BOOK (14); 5th – DADDY COOL (3)

CRUZWITHMECAPTAIN could be good value. Ran an improved race last time when running on last time. Chance if repeating that polytrack run. Has earned on turf. MIA FORZA had to work hard to win last time. Has won this C & D. I GOT YOU BABE has been running on. Last run was in May. HARLEM NOCTURNE weakens. First PE run. Decent Cape Town form. INTIMATE TOUCH is inconsistent. the favourite PRICELESS SAIL is a weak favourite.

1st – CRUZWITHMECAPTAIN (20/1) (6); 2nd – MIA FORZA (14); 3rd – I GOT YOU BABE (4); 4th - HARLEM NOCTURNE (3); 5th – INTIMATE TOUCH (5); FAVOURITE - PRICELESS SAIL (5/1 F) (9)

DREAM TO REALITY has been showing good form on both the turf and polytrack. Will be running on. ARTIC SAILS has had four good post maiden runs and could pick up her second win soon. SISSY GRAY is always finishing well but from a distance back. HOLLYWOOD SUNSET could improve with S'Manga Khumalo aboard. DIAMOND ALLY has had her problems. Can threaten. Respect the favourite WIDGIT. Mediocre form though.

1st – DREAM TO REALITY (71/10) (10); 2nd – ARTIC SAILS (3); 3rd – SISSY GRAY (2); 4th - HOLLYWOOD SUNSET (6); 5th – DIAMOND ALLY (13); FAVOURITE - WIDGIT (357/100 F) (8)

BLACKMALKIN finished well last time. Can improve with S'Manga Khumalo riding. BOIS DE VAR ran well on the polytrack last time. May have more to find. OATS has good and consistent form. A factor. FOREST DIGGER got going late last time. Can earn something on that run. PACYANO has very good form but has had his problems. The gelding appears to have improved his form,

1st – BLACKMALKIN (62/10) (1); 2nd – BOIS DE VAR (3); 3rd – OATS (4/1 JF) (5); 4th - FOREST DIGGER (4); 5th – PACYANO (4/1 JF) (11)

HOUSE OF WAX drops in class. Has been slow to start in most of his recent starts but does finish well. Good value for place bets at least. PRINCIPLED has a mind of his own but on his day can win a race such as this. ZEZINHO CAMPEAO faced stronger last time but needs to find more to win. TROUBLE AGAIN is never far back against weaker. More to find. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE is beginning to find his feet in PE.

1st – HOUSE OF WAX (11/1) (3); 2nd – PRINCIPLED (4/1 F) (5); 3rd – ZEZINHO CAMPEAO (1); 4th - TROUBLE AGAIN (9); 5th – NAVAL INTELLIGENCE (11)

PETARA makes her PE debut. Has faced stronger in Cape Town. The extra distance will not be a problem. STARLIGHT BEAUTY can challenge on her best form which has not been too bad. DEEPO takes on stronger but has a good finish. Not well weighted though. FOAM PARTY produced a very good finish last time against weaker. LA SALLE shows heart and could find a place at best.

1st – PETARA (31/20 F) (2); 2nd – STARLIGHT BEAUTY (1); 3rd – DEEPO (8); 4th - FOAM PARTY (9); 5th – LA SALLE (4)

Trainer Alan Greeff has a strong hand in this race. KIRKBY NINJA must have a chance on the manner in which he has finished his last two races. Stable companion, CLIFTON SURF, won on debut last time. May need to confirm but win was impressive and this is not a particularly strong field. Yet another stable companion, FIRST SURPRISE, has good post maiden form. SARTORIUS was not disgraced in his post maiden effort last time. That was his PE debut run. CHILL FACTOR weakened last time. Had decent form before that.

1st – KIRKBY NINJA (11/1) (7); 2nd – CLIFTON SURF (357/100 F) (9); 3rd – FIRST SURPRISE (6); 4th - SARTORIUS (3); 5th – CHILL FACTOR (4)

LAURIE'S DANCER looks to be good value and on form has a very good chance. Ran against stronger last time. UP AND RUNNING won his last two and ran on well in both. HERMANUS finishes well and is never too far back. LAND OF MEADOWS takes on stronger and has more to find. Improved last two. KONO disappointed last time. Ran on well in her previous four starts. 

1st – LAURIE'S DANCER (71/10) (1); 2nd – UP AND RUNNING (37/10 F) (4); 3rd – HERMANUS (11); 4th - LAND OF MEADOWS (12); 5th – KONO (5)
