Fairview Race 2 - Racing Today Maiden Plate
BROOKSIDER (3) was his own worst enemy over 1400m last time as he over raced in the early stages. He has finished second once and third once from three starts over this course and distance. With a bit of luck in the running can shed his maiden tag. CHIEF RUNNER (2) was reported to be not striding out in his last two starts. He has scope and can show good improvement in this field. FLIGHT ENGINEER (1) has been in the market at his recent starts but yet to break through, the latest running seventh at Fairview. Has upside and expected to be in the finish this time. GARDEN SUN (4) finished ninth last start at Kenilworth over 1800m. Comes here with definite place claims

Resuming. Not seen since he finished last of 14 at Kenilworth January 15 over 1600m, 20 len behind Red Dawn carrying 60kg at $126. On debut 15th of 17 at Kenilworth November 26 over 1200m, 12 len behind Cavalry Commander carrying 59kg at $67. Certainly one to consider.
