Fairview Race 4 - Ibhayi Stakes (Listed) (3-Year-Olds)
MY BEST SHOT (1) has won his last two starts with ease. He was slowly into stride last time but quickened up well and drew clear over the latter stages. He has won four times and finished third once from as many starts over this course and distance. He is the class horse in this line-up and should notch up his seventh-career victory. GOLDEN LINK (2) finished third at this track over 1400m last start. Freshened up since that run and has solid each-way claims. SAKURAJIMA (3) resumes from a spell and having placed fresh-up previously is a must include in exotic bets. PLAY ACT (5) finished second last start at Fairview All Weather over 1600m last start when well fancied. Resumes from a spell and having won fresh-up previously has to be considered. GLOBAL STATE (7) has finished second in both of his runs this prep. He jumps from a handy draw and having won third-up previously can take this race out.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 35 day let-up. At the latest run favourite; won by 2.25 len at this track January 17 over 1400m defeating Global State with 60kg at $1.50. The race before that favourite; won by 3.5 len at Fairview All Weather November 29 over 1600m defeating Play Act with 60kg at $2.80. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Useful type. Returns from a 35-day let-up. Last start 3rd in a small field at this track on January 17 over 1400m, 3 len behind My Best Shot carrying 58kg at $9. The run before that 7th of 10 at Fairview All Weather on December 30 over 1200m, 6 len behind Fairy Knight carrying 58kg at $17. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming 2nd of 9 at Fairview All Weather on December 27 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Abound with 57kg at $17. Second-up 2nd in a small field at this track on January 17 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind My Best Shot with 54kg at $11. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.
