Pre-race comments Fairview 22 Augustus 2014

Snow and Ice
Event: Race 3, Maiden Plate (F & M)
Distance: 2000m
Pre-race Comments: She is strengthening up and her work at home is much better than her form. If she takes to the poly, gets the trip and brings her work at home to the track, we should see an improvement in her form.

King of the Deep
Event: Race 5, Merit Rated 66 Handicap
Distance: 2200m
Pre-race Comments: He is having his 1st run in PE and on the polytrack. He is drawn a bit wide but on his Cape Town form and with luck in running, he should have a chance in this race. His work at hom has been good.

Sylvie
Event: Race 7, FM 63 Divided Handicap (F & M)
Distance: 1600m
Pre-race Comments: She unfortunately hasn’t managed a decent draw for quite a while, but she enjoys the polytrack and if she overcomes the wide draw without doing too much, she will run a competitive race.

Exotic Jet
Event: Race 4, Maiden Plate (F & M)
Distance: 1800m
Pre-race Comments: She was a bit one paced over the mile last time, we will try and get her to the front in this 1800m and she should hopefully stay on. We are hopeful of a better run this time

Saint Sophia
Event: Race 5, FM 68 Handicap (F & M)
Distance: 1800m
Pre-race Comments: She hasn’t raced for a while but is doing quite well at home in her work. She has always been a consistent type and should be there about again in this competitive handicap.

Titus
Event: Race 6, Merit Rated 96 Handicap
Distance: 1800m
Pre-race Comments: He draws well and fortunately carries a light weight here. This field looks strong and he may well have a fair chance here after his encouraging first run back.

African Fish Eagle
Event: Race 8, Merit Rated 73 Handicap
Distance: 1200m
Pre-race Comments: He has had a nice break and is really strengthening up well this year. His work is very good at present and although this looks a bit short for him, we think he will give a good account of himself here.

Elite Jet
Event: Race 8, Merit Rated 73 Handicap
Distance: 1200m
Pre-race Comments: He has always been a tricky customer to access as he is an erratic type because of his temperament. He will prefer this 1200m trip and hopefully he brings his best here, if he does he must have a chance
