Fairview Friday the 13th

Fingers crossed on this superstitious day

Race 4: Ultra Boost , think the blinkers will help to get this home today , will include in a yankee

Tace 6 no 3 :Yutacan , improved with the tongue tie and should win today if putting in a similar effort

Value bet on the day for me is in Race 7: Belfast Child , good introduction to Poly last start over shorter , think she will love the extra 2 furlongs and can only improve lengths on the last run , will be having a bet on the 16/1

Sure we will greffed a few times today

Race 3 no 1 : Cider for me the best bet of the day, looks ready to win now, Hollywood Thunder always seems to find one to beat her and the rest of the field will have to improve on current form

TRAINER COMMENTS and Nadine`s 1st 4 selections

RACE 1 :

1st four selections

1 / 7 / 6 / 3

• GAVIN SMITH - Numbers 1 and 4 - BOLD LINNGARI & SURFIN’ AFRICA : Bold Linngari ran a good race in his last over track and trip and should follow up. Surfin’ Africa is working well and can place.

• MONTANA TURNER - Number 7 - GIMME EXPRESS : He ran very green on debut and in snatches. He has come on, further improvement is expected and I hope to see him in the first three again.

JACQUES STRYDOM - Number 2 - MASTER DANIEL : He has his second run for the yard, this is still short for him but it is a step in the right direction and we are expecting improvement.

STEPHEN LERENA - Number 3 - SILVER STONE : There is definitely improvement to come from him. The 1000m last time out was way too quick for him and he will be better suited to the 1300m. It is a small field and he could maybe place.

SHARON KOTZEN - Number 5 - VIBERMATIC : He needs to learn to settle as he is doing too much early in his races. It’s a small field and we are hoping for improvement.

RACE 2 :

1st four selection

1 / 2 / 6 / 3

• ALAN GREEFF - Numbers 2, 3 and 4 - RACINE, AMBRA & CAUSE AND EFFECT : Racine is in great form, she does have Princess Rebel to beat at the weights. Ambra is consistent and drawn well. Hoping for improvement from Cause and Effect.

• TARA LAING - Number 6 - CAPTAIN ANNE BONNY : She takes on a tough field but will run a place.

RACE 3 :

1st four selections

2 / 1 / 8 / 3

• GAVIN SMITH - Numbers 2 and 3 - HOLLYWOOD THUNDER & CINNABAR : Hollywood Thunder is a professional maiden and has a chance again here. Cinnabar has her first run for the yard, she is working well and could place.

• DUNCAN MCKENZIE - Number 8 - RILEY DE VIE : The 1000m trip will be better for her, she can use her pace and I am hoping for better.

MONTANA TURNER - Number 9 - SHEENA BEAN : She has her first run and is expected to be green. I am just hoping that she jumps on terms and runs a decent race.

RACE 4 :

1st four selections

3 / 4 / 2 / 8

• DUNCAN MCKENZIE - Number 2 - BUSHY PARK : She is always honest and has done well from a wide draw before, she is in with a chance.

• GAVIN SMITH - Numbers 3 and 8 - WILD MOVE & EXALTATION : Wild Move won his last well over track and trip and can follow up. Exaltation loves course and distance but the wide draw is a concern.

JUAN NEL - Number 5 - NATURAL JADE : Expecting improvement trying a new surface.

TARA LAING - Number 12 - ZABIVAKA : He was disappointing in his last and we are expecting better from him.

JACQUES STRYDOM - Number 1 - BENEFICIARY :Top weight is a concern, especially against the boys, but she always tries and is better than her last.

RACE 5 :

1st four selections

3 / 5 / 4 / 6

• ALAN GREEFF - Numbers 1 and - GREAT ACHIEVEMENT & YUCATAN : Great Achievement is never far back and has a place chance. Yucatan is trying further, Greg Cheyne did feel the 1000m was too quick for her, she has an each way chance.

• GAVIN SMITH - Numbers 4 and 6 - ALASKAN FATE & VIVA LE BLEU : Alaskan Fate won a gutsy race in her last, she is working well and can be right there again. Viva le Bleu cost herself jumping badly in her last and she can do better.

JACQUES STRYDOM - Numbers 7 and 9 - HONEY SUITE & GO SNOW GIRL GO : Honey Suite is always thereabouts and can pop up to place. Hoping for improvement from Go Snow Girl Go.

GRANT PADDOCK - Number 8 - INTHEPURPLERAIN : She needed her last and I am looking for improvement.

RACE 6 :

1st four selections

1 / 5 / 8 / 3

• GAVIN SMITH – Numbers 2 and 8 - DAWNBREAKER & THE HIGHWAY MAN : Dawnbreaker is working very well, he is maybe at his most effective over a touch further these days. The Highway Man will enjoy track and trip and should be thereabouts.

• ALAN GREEFF - Numbers 5, 9 and 10 - BOLD COAST, SEVILLE & ALOYSIUS : Bold Coast will be thereabouts. Both Seville and Aloysius are up in class but Seville loves the Poly and Aloysius is in good form. All three runners have earning potential.

SHARON KOTZEN - Number 6 - LETS PLAY BALL : The 1200m is short for him, but it is the Poly Challenge so he must take his chance, he did win the series by points last year after all. He’s run some fair races over 1200m but does also have the deep draw to overcome.

TARA LAING - Number 7 - OMEGA ONSLAUGHT : He is in a very tough field and could run a place at best.

RACE 7 :

1st four selections

1 / 2 / 4 / 6

• GAVIN SMITH - Numbers 2 and 6 - LADY OF CHOICE & ROYAL SPLURGE : Lady of Choice ran a good race first time out for the yard, more improvement is expected. Royal Splurge is working well and enjoys track and trip.

• TARA LAING - Number 4 - PRECIOUS JEWEL : She has run two good seconds of recent. There are a couple of competitive runners in her race but she will run a place.

JACQUES STRYDOM - Numbers 5 and 7 - BELFAST CHILD & TEQUILA MARIA : Belfast Child is a tiny little filly, she hasn’t disgraced herself in three starts over the sprints so far especially since she is looking for further and will enjoy the extra here. Perhaps a place chance. Hoping for improvement from Tequila Maria.

SHARON KOTZEN - Number 10 - ASH KAT : She has only her second run, the extra is what she is looking for so we are looking for improvement.

ALAN GREEFF - Number 3 - AMPLE GLORY : Hoping for improvement.

RACE 8 :

1st four selections

3 / 4 / 1 / 2

• ALAN GREEFF - Numbers 1 and 4 - WOODSTOCK FAIRY & FOOLS GARDEN : Woodstock Fairy has a big weight, but she does have a chance here. Fools Garden is in great form and has a chance again.

• JACQUES STRYDOM - Number 2 - SAO PAULO : She ran a really nice race in her last and she’ll be there again.

GAVIN SMITH - Numbers 5, 6 and 10 - JAMESON GIRL, ROCKSETTE & CLOSE TO MY HEART : Jameson Girl tries further, it should suit. Rocksette is working well and can always pop up. Close to my Heart enjoys course and distance but this is a competitive field for her.

SHARON KOTZEN - Numbers 7 and 9 - KENTUCKY BLUE & SHADOW QUEEN : Kentucky Blue always gives of her best, she is never far back and is drawn well. We are hoping to see her run into the money. Shadow Queen is up in class, but the box seat will suit her handy racing style, though she must see out the 1900m that she tries for the first time.

TARA LAING - Number 8 - RED HERRING : She ran a good race over too short in her last. The extra again here will suit but she would prefer Turf.

Very hard to know which Bremner horses have done enough work at home.
Princess Rebel MR 119 60kg.
Racine MR 92 58kg.
11.5kg's better off with Racine and only manages 5th in a six horse field.

Good call on Cider Craig!
