Fairview Race 1 - Betway Work Riders Mdn Plate
PALME D'OR (5) made the clearest fresh statement of the main hopes when second at Fairview Aw last week, beaten just over a length after being unwanted in the market. That was a sharp lift on his earlier form and he has the direct edge over two key rivals from that race. ALESIAN BEAU (2) is the most reliable exposed maiden, placed in both runs this campaign and drawn barrier one after finishing third behind Ain't No Sunshine. His 15-start maiden record is the obvious reservation, but he continues to hold his form. NORSE WARRIOR (4) has also turned in two competitive efforts at long odds, finishing third then fourth, and the quick back-up is assessed as a plus. AMERICAN GEM (7) comes through a solid third at this venue, gets weight relief and has enough 1200m substance to be a minor winning chance if she improves again.

Comes through two solid placings this campaign, most recently third in a MPLTE at Fairview Aw when beaten two lengths by Ain't No Sunshine after easing near the top of an open market. He was second to Rock Up over 1000m the run prior and now looks suitably seasoned third-up. Barrier one helps his overall profile, and while the long maiden record tempers confidence, this sets up as a genuine winning chance.

Has been safely held at his past two starts, finishing second last behind Ain't No Sunshine last week when beaten seven and a half lengths after drifting from opening levels. His previous run over 1400m was also plain, although he was respected enough in an open market. First-time blinkers give him a possible spark, but on recent figures he profiles more as a place hope than a winning threat.

Has found better form at his past two runs, finishing third behind Madra Rua then fourth behind Ain't No Sunshine last week, beaten just over two lengths at big odds. That latest effort leaves him close to Alesian Beau and Palme D'Or on the same line of form, and the quick back-up is considered suitable. The 25-start maiden record is the drag, but his current form reads well enough to win this.

Made a strong return when second in a MPLTE at Fairview Aw last week, beaten just over a length by Ain't No Sunshine despite being unwanted in the market. That run clearly improved on his earlier eighth behind Half Moon Island, and he beat both Alesian Beau and Norse Warrior in the same race. The quick back-up is the only note of caution, but second-up from that near miss he looks the horse to beat.

Returns from a three-month spell after ending last campaign with two fifths in 2yo MPLTE company at Fairview Aw, beaten eight and a half lengths then over 14 lengths. He was sent out at big odds both times and remains unplaced from five starts overall. With no placing from previous attempts around 1200m, he has a fair amount to find before becoming a serious player.

Improved when third in a FM MPLTE over 1000m at this track three weeks ago, beaten two and a half lengths by Eternal Spirit after firming from bigger odds. She had been last in a small field at Fairview Aw the start prior, so that rebound was important. Weight relief helps and she has placed once around 1200m, making her a realistic each-way runner if she sustains that latest improvement.

Finished sixth behind Eternal Spirit at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths in a FM MPLTE after being unwanted in the market. Her previous fifth behind Lovely Dancer at Fairview Aw was no stronger, and the 13-start maiden record remains a concern. Weight relief and first-time blinkers are positives, but she must find a sharper finish to turn those into a placing.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing second last at Scottsville, beaten over 14 lengths in a FM MPLTE at long odds. Her debut fourth in a five-horse 2yo F MPLTE was also well held, beaten over 10 lengths despite firming from bigger odds. She is third-up and has changed trainer, but the exposed form leaves her with a sizeable task.
