Fairview Race 7 - Betway Cradock Place Stakes

CRUISE CONTROL (1) is the horse to beat after putting together consecutive Fairview Aw wins, the latest by just under two lengths from Mercantour after easing slightly near the top of betting. His 1200m record is deep, his past 12 months have been faultless for top-three finishes, and he has already had the measure of ANUSCHKA'S WORLD. ANUSCHKA'S WORLD (3) is the clear danger after going under by a nose as heavily backed favourite over 1000m, and his record at this track and distance, plus the return to 1200m, give him a strong platform. ASTRONOMICAL BOY (7) brings a lighter-weight profile after winning a BM86 by a nose at this venue on yielding ground, though he still has to show he can reproduce that in stronger company. FAIRY KNIGHT (4) has been beaten by key rivals lately, but his unbeaten place record from six starts at this track and distance keeps him firmly in the minor-money mix.

Comments

Returns from a six-week let-up in outstanding form, having won his past two at Fairview Aw and most recently scoring by just under two lengths from Mercantour. The start prior he beat Anuschka's World by just over two lengths as an odds-on favourite, and his 1200m record is backed by six wins and five placings from 18 tries. Proven with 62kg and already effective at this track and distance, he sets the standard again.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending his last campaign with a third to Zatara Magic in a Handicap over 1900m at Fairview Aw, beaten just under four lengths as favourite. Earlier he was well held in the G1 Summer Cup at Turffontein Standside, so the class of his background is clear. His track record is strong, but two unplaced 1200m runs make this a fresh assignment with more place appeal than winning confidence.

Comments

Went within a nose of winning at Fairview Aw last start when heavily backed favourite over 1000m, a sharp return after being unwanted and safely held in a Listed Handicap at Greyville. The move back to 1200m suits his profile, with three wins and six placings from 11 starts at this track and distance. Cruise Control has a prior edge, but this gelding is race fit, well placed and a serious winning threat.

Comments

Worked into fourth at Fairview Aw last start over 1000m, beaten two and a half lengths behind Danish Dynamite after easing near the top of betting. His previous run was a fifth behind Cruise Control, beaten four and a half lengths at longer odds, so the recent form has him chasing a couple of these. The positive is his excellent record at this track and distance, which makes him a genuine placing hope.

Comments

Resumed with a plain seventh at Fairview Aw over 1000m, beaten just over nine lengths and unwanted in the market. His run before the break was also below his best when last at Vaal after attracting market interest. The return to 1200m is supported by a solid distance record, and first-time blinkers are noted, but he has to find a much sharper level to trouble the better chances.

Comments

Resumed with a sixth at Fairview Aw over 1000m, beaten just under six lengths at long odds, and that followed a fourth behind Cruise Control in a small field in June. He has a long record around 1200m and past track credentials, but the current form line has him safely behind several key rivals. Second-up improvement would help, though others bring stronger recent figures.
