Fairview Race 4 - Betway Summer Cup 28 November Pinnacle Stakes
U S RANGER (6) Solid win by 1 3/4L last time at this venue. Has plenty of early speed. Jockey Richard Fourie has a high strike rate on board. This looks ideal. ASTRONOMICAL BOY (4) Average performance when 8th last run at the track. Expecting improvement here and suited by the weight drop. Suitably placed in this race. FAIRY KNIGHT (5) Came in 4th last run around here. Giving another chance here and strong performer at this distance. In a purple patch of form since resuming from a break. Open to improvement and has a show in this field. GALILEO STAR (3) First up and handy enough when winning by 1L first up last preparation here. The large claim from Varun Jodhee should help. Could surprise at odds.

Has been safely held in two recent Fairview Aw runs, finishing fifth behind U S Ranger last start over 1000m, beaten five and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market. He was also fourth to Anuschka's World start prior, beaten just under six lengths. The barrier and three wins at this track and distance give him some base, but recent figures leave him with work to do.

Comes through the same Fairview Aw race as U S Ranger and was last of six, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. His start prior was not much stronger, finishing seventh behind Danish Dynamite and beaten just over nine lengths after also being unwanted in the market. Five wins at this distance are a positive, but his current form has to improve sharply.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing last in a BM96 at Fairview Aw, though the margin was only beaten three and a half lengths at big odds. He had been fifth there start prior, beaten just under six lengths by Cruise Control. The 4kg claim helps and he has a win and a placing from four good-track runs, but he profiles as a minor hope unless he returns sharper.

Was well below his best when last in a CUP at Fairview Aw over 1400m, beaten over 14 lengths despite being near the top of betting. The stronger guide is his start prior, when he won a BM86 at this track by a nose from Kwagga Blitz. Drops in weight, has Craig Zackey back aboard and owns two wins from four around 1200m, so he can rebound into the placings.

Worked back towards form when fourth to All Systems Go at Fairview Aw over 1600m, beaten just over two lengths at long odds. The run prior was plain when last of five behind Anuschka's World, but his broader profile is much stronger than that. He has three wins and three places from six at this track and distance and remains a genuine place hope if he runs to those figures.

Resumed in winning style at Fairview Aw over 1000m, scoring by two lengths from Danish Dynamite after being near the top of betting. He is four wins and two places from seven starts overall, has two wins and one placing from four around 1200m and has also placed every time from four starts at this track. With Richard Fourie staying on, he sets the standard again.
