Fairview Race 1 - Welcome To Nelson Mandela Bay Mdn Plate (3-Year-Olds)
SEATTLE GLOW (4) sets the benchmark after consecutive seconds over 1400m at Fairview AW, the latest when favourite and beaten just over two lengths by Grey Eagle. She has placed in two of four starts at the track, gets Richard Fourie back aboard and looks ready to convert if she runs the 1600m strongly. WEEKEND IN ASPEN (6) has opened her career with two thirds here, including finishing behind SEATTLE GLOW in that same Grey Eagle race, so she brings honest exposed form but has a margin to turn around. HIGHWAY CODE (1) resumes from a four-month break after fair MPLTE efforts at Vaal and Turffontein Inside, and the class drop plus first-time blinkers give him a pathway into the placings. SILVER VISION (5) is lightly raced and gets weight relief from her last-start FM Maiden fifth, though she must improve sharply on what she has shown to become more than an outside threat.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing sixth in an MPLTE at Turffontein Inside, beaten just over four lengths by Knowmore when sent around at long odds. The run prior at Vaal was a safely held fifth, but he was at least near the top of an open market there and has placed twice from five starts. First-time blinkers and the class drop help, though the 1600m remains the point to prove for a genuine place chance.

Second-up after a plain return at Fairview, finishing seventh in an MPLTE over 1400m and beaten just over eight lengths by Love From Afar at long odds. His previous run at Fairview Aw was weaker again, sixth in a 2yo MPLTE and beaten over 12 lengths by Rush Green. The class drop and gear angle are positives, but he is unplaced in five starts and has to lift sharply at 1600m.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing last in an MPLTE at Kenilworth, beaten over 18 lengths by Warrior Of Destiny when unwanted in the market. Two back he was sixth at Durbanville and beaten over 14 lengths by Royal Light. He does come through a class-drop setup, but the recent margins are too heavy to ignore and he looks one of the harder runners to recommend.

Returns from a two-month let-up off consecutive seconds at Fairview Aw, most recently beaten just over two lengths by Grey Eagle over 1400m when favourite despite drifting from opening odds. She had earlier been beaten just over a length in a 2yo F MPLTE here, and Richard Fourie is back aboard after placing on her once. The rise to 1600m is new, but her track form and current campaign profile make her the one to beat.

Returns from a two-month let-up with two placings from two starts, both at Fairview Aw over 1400m. She was third behind Grey Eagle last time, beaten four and a half lengths, after debuting with a third behind Fyfield Legend when sent around at generous odds. The form is honest and Craig Zackey has already placed on her, but she must turn the tables on Seattle Glow and prove the mile suits.
