Fairview Race 3 - Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Open Maiden (F & M)
MYSTICAL BUTTERFLY (2) is returning from a spell of ten weeks. Finished ninth at Vaal over 1000m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Juan Nel. Will prove tough to beat. XTINES PRINCESS (3) is returning from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Finished seventh at Durbanville over 1400m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Dean Smith. Has ability and should be right in the finish. ALAKAZAM (5) resumes from a spell of ten weeks and is having her first outing under new trainer Alan Greeff. Finished seventh at Greyville All Weather over 1200m at the opening run last time in work. One of the genuine hopes in the race. FLEUR DE VILLE (6) is fresh from a spell of 11 weeks and did hit the frame when last resuming at Kenilworth over 1000m. In a different yard now.

Third-up today. First-up 3rd in a small field at this track on March 10 over 1400m, 6 len behind Lana View with 60kg at $101. Second run from a spell 3rd of 15 at this track on March 27 over 1300m, 1.5 len behind Elusive Bomba carrying 53kg at $13.50. Not far off the winner latest and looks a genuine hope.
