Fairview Race 6 - Betway Middle Stakes

TOO LATE MY MATE (7) is the one to beat after successive Fairview Aw seconds, the latest in BM88 when beaten just over a length by Vila Vicosa. She is third-up, gets meaningful weight relief and has placed in all four rides for Craig Zackey, so the profile is strong despite her 1600m win record. POLICY OF TRUTH (9) is the clear danger off a dominant BM80 win, scoring by five and a half lengths from George Handel, though the return to 1600m keeps the margin for error tighter. JOHNNY DRAMA (8) appeals as the value runner back to a more suitable mile with weight relief and first-time blinkers after being well found last start. JOKER MAN (1) has been close in BM96 company at his past two and his 1600m record is good enough to keep him firmly in the mix.

Comments

Closed off within a length and a half of Silvonian when fifth in a Benchmark 96 over 1400m at this track, having been near the top of betting despite easing late. The start prior he was third over 1000m at Fairview Aw, again beaten a length and a half. Back to 1600m suits his record, with two wins and one placing from six, though his track record is the main reservation. Still profiles as a genuine place hope.

Comments

Resumed with an eighth in a Benchmark 96 over 1400m at this track, beaten just under two lengths but sent out at big odds. His previous run was a seventh at Fairview Aw, beaten five and a half lengths, so the recent form remains plain. He does have a strong 1600m base and a good record at this venue, yet he will have to lift sharply to trouble the main chances.

Comments

Was safely held when fourth over 2000m at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Wild Fig after firming from a bigger opening quote. That followed a Benchmark 82 win at Fairview Aw, where he beat Too Late My Mate by just over two lengths. His 1600m record is strong, but no wins from seven on good tracks leaves him more as an each-way hope than a firm winning play.

Comments

Was beaten just under seven lengths when sixth over 2000m at this track last start, with no clear excuse offered by the form. Two back he placed in Benchmark 82 company at Fairview Aw behind Above The Horizon, but that still leaves him short of the stronger profiles. The 4kg claim and past 1600m wins help his case slightly, though he has to find more than recent figures suggest.

Worked home close enough when seventh in a Benchmark 96 over 1400m at this track first-up, beaten just under two lengths after firming from opening levels. He had also been well supported when fifth over the same trip at Fairview Aw before the break. The return to 1600m is in his favour given he is a track-and-trip winner, but he still has to turn narrow defeats into a sharper finish.

Back from a two-month break after finishing sixth over 2000m at this track, beaten just over three lengths by Wild Fig with some market support. His run prior was a fourth in the Listed CUP over 3150m at Fairview Aw, so there is depth in the profile, even if he has not won for some time. He owns a 1600m win and has placed often in the past 12 months, making him a realistic place chance.

Comments

Has returned in excellent order with two Fairview Aw seconds, most recently beaten just over a length by Vila Vicosa in Benchmark 88 grade. She was also runner-up to Above The Horizon in Benchmark 82 company, so the form ties in well. The mile is more a placing distance than a winning one, but she is third-up, gets weight relief and has never missed a placing for Craig Zackey. This is her strongest chance to break through.

Was well supported when fifth over 1900m at Fairview Aw last start, beaten just under four lengths in a small field. His previous third in a Benchmark 80 over 1400m at this track was better, especially at big odds. Back to 1600m is suitable, with two wins and two placings from nine, and the drop from 62kg to 54kg is significant. First-time blinkers add interest and he can be in the placings.

Comments

Produced the clearest last-start win in the field, taking a Benchmark 80 over 2000m at Fairview Aw by five and a half lengths from George Handel after being well supported. He had earlier finished fourth behind Above The Horizon in Benchmark 82 grade, so the current campaign is trending the right way. Back to 1600m is the query, with three placings but no wins from six, yet his recent form still makes him a major threat.
