Fairview Race 1 - Welcome To Nelson Mandela Bay Open Maiden (F & M)
LAYDELAY (5) Missed by a narrow margin last start at the track. Richard Fourie is in good form for this stable. Among better hopes. KENTUCKY LASSIE (4) Close to a win last run here and promising career start. Very competitive this preparation and gets a favourable draw. Should go close. SOMBREUIL (7) Competitive effort when 2nd last run around here. A win wouldn't surprise. ENGELANDPARK (6) Tidy run when 2nd last run at the track. Will be around the mark at odds.
