Fairview Race 4 - Nomads Eastern Cape Pinnacle Stakes
Hard to go past ZINOVI (1) who is in sparkling form, winning four of his last five. Top record course and distance as well and the winning rider stays aboard. Hard to beat. ZATARA MAGIC (2) comes here off a break of four-and-a-half months. Scored over 2000m at this track to launch the last campaign. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. LANCIAFIAMME (3) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at Fairview All Weather, beaten 3 lengths. Nice return and fitter again. Solid top-three hope. MR FOX (4) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.4 lengths of the winner in third last start over 1200m at Fairview All Weather when returning from a spell. Should be winding up late again.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently ran last of 9 at Fairview All Weather on May 22 over 1400m, 11 len behind Zinovi with 58kg at $26. The start before that raced on the pace before fading ran second last of 11 at Vaal on March 31 over 1500m, 7 len behind Bob's Your Uncle carrying 58kg at $17. Would be better placed in something easier.
