WSB’s Top Tips for Fairview

• Race 1 – Ono No Komachi
  (Trainer: A C Greeff / Jockey: S Khumalo)
  Improving with each run, finished second over course and distance last time. Strong contender again.

• Race 2 – Desert Cloud
  (Trainer: Z Oosthuizen / Jockey: L Mxothwa)
  Very unlucky not to win on local debut. Can go one better today.

• Race 5 – Enchanting Choice
  (Trainer: A C Greeff / Jockey: S Khumalo)
  Two impressive wins on turf; now switches to Poly in search of a hat-trick. Big chance.

• Race 8 – Royal Kingdom
  (Trainer: A C Greeff / Jockey: S Khumalo)
  Two nice runs before being gelded in March then winning his Maiden. Rested since May, expect improvement and another bold effort.

Race Day Schedule

• First Race: 12:55pm

• Last Race: 5:00pm
