WSB’s Top Tips for Fairview
Race 3 – Green Isle
🏇 Richard Fourie | Alan Greeff
A proven performer over this course and distance. Looked unlucky not to win last time and can make amends here.
Race 4 – Wishes And Dreams
🏇 Richard Fourie | Alan Greeff
Chasing a hat-trick and remains in top form. Carries a 6-point penalty for her last win but could go in again.
Race 5 – Mercantour
🏇 Richard Fourie | Alan Greeff
The standout of the day. Two commanding victories in the first two legs of the Poly Challenge — looks hard to oppose for the hat-trick.
Race 7 – Guy Gibson
🏇 Richard Fourie | Alan Greeff
Has been knocking on the door with two strong local efforts. Expected to go close again and could finally get his reward.
