Fairview Race 3 - Racing Today Open Mdn (F & M)
CAUGHTUBYSURPRISE (3) Below par when 7th last time around here. Has the potential to improve sharply but going up in weight. Winning chance in what appears a suitable race. KITANA'S JOY (5) Unimpressive effort when 4th last time at this track. May see an upturn in form and has minimal work to do from the draw. Dropping weight. Strong hope. LYRICS AND SONGS (4) Disappointing outing when 6th last start at the track and down in distance. Has early speed and positions nicely. Deserves consideration. LOOKING GOOD (7) Average effort when 8th last start here but gets a favourable gate. Might have to make up considerable ground. Solid place bet prospects.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing fifth on debut at this track, beaten just over four lengths behind Rock Up when sent out at big odds. She remains very lightly raced and carries 61kg, while the 1400m is still an unknown. From the Alan Greeff stable and with scope to come on from that first race experience, she has enough upside to be a genuine place chance.

Produced a better run second-up when fifth at this track over 1200m, beaten just over three lengths by Tipsy after starting at long odds. Her debut had been plain, finishing last behind Madra Rua, but she is fitter now and gets Richard Fourie aboard again. The step back to 1400m asks something after one unplaced try around the trip, yet her latest effort gives her a strong winning platform.

Backs up after one week following a seventh at this track, beaten just under six lengths by Lady Limoncello without a clear excuse. She had been fourth in a FM MPLTE over 1600m the start prior and has placed twice from seven rides with Jason Gates. The 16-start maiden record is the clear brake, but a quick return gives her some outside place appeal.

Returns from a two-month freshening with the class drop and weight relief both in her favour. Her last run was sixth in a MPLATE over 1900m at this track, beaten just over six lengths by Masterofthebaroque, after an eighth over 2200m behind Night In Japan. She is a 13-start maiden and has not placed in four 1400m attempts, but this set-up gives her the right chance to break through.

Went around at long odds when fourth first-up in a FM MPLTE over 1200m at this track, beaten just over eight lengths by Lightscameraaction. She now gets blinkers on, weight relief and the winning rider back, while her record shows two placings from six starts and one placing from two around 1400m. She has to sharpen up, but the profile is better than the fresh run alone suggests.

Returns from a four-month break after ending her last campaign with a distant last at Durbanville over 1800m, beaten out of sight behind Liefling at big odds. Her previous run at Kenilworth was also safely held, finishing second last and beaten eight and a half lengths. With no placing from five starts, she has plenty to find before becoming a serious threat.

Finished second last at this track over 1200m a fortnight ago, beaten four and a half lengths by Tipsy at long odds, and was behind Twice A Queen in the same race. She had been fifth in a small-field FM MPLTE the run prior, beaten eight and a half lengths. Weight relief helps and she has placed with Yuzae Ramzan, but an 18-start maiden record keeps her to the fringes.
