Race 3: Crystal Maiden
A C Greeff / R Fourie
Consistently performing well in maidens on the Highveld, this horse brought that good form to Fairview, finishing 2.5 lengths second over 1600m on its local debut. Richard Fourie retains the ride, and it should perform well if it takes to the Polytrack
Race 4: Lady Writer
K Mitchley / S Khumalo
Kelly Mitchley’s filly is in good form and shouldn’t be far off winning from a good draw today. Both previous runs were on the grass, but she has run well on the polytrack in the past.
Race 6: Slings And Arrows
G D Smith / M Yeni
Jumps from a good draw, likes the course and distance, and is never far away. Could go close again under Muzi Yeni.
Race 8 American Dream
G D Smith / M Yeni
Strong running frontrunner who has won his last two races. Big chance to complete the hat-trick. Respect
