Fairview Race 1 - Welcome To Nelson Mandela Bay Mdn Plate
TURBULENT (10) First up and placed 3rd first up last preparation at this venue. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. MOETHEMONEYMAN (8) Tidy effort when 2nd last start around here. Winning hope. HERE COMES JOHNNY (11) Finished 4th last run at this track. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Will be around the mark at odds. NORSE WARRIOR (7) Ran 5th last time at this track and hoping that the added weight won't hurt. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Solid place bet prospects.

Returns from a lengthy five-month break after ending last campaign with two well-beaten Fairview Aw runs. He was fifth in a MPLTE over 1600m last start, beaten over 16 lengths at long odds, after finishing fifth in a PLATE when beaten over 13 lengths at big odds. Barrier one and Craig Zackey are positives, but his exposed form leaves him with plenty to find.

Race-fit gelding who has been safely held at his past two Fairview Aw starts, most recently sixth in a Mdn when beaten six and a half lengths and unwanted in the market. The start prior was also plain when second last in a MPLTE. He has placed once from four tries around 1200m, so there is enough to consider him for a minor cheque rather than a strong winning play.

Returns from a three-month break with only two race starts behind her, both unplaced at Fairview Aw. She was sixth in a FM Mdn last time, beaten just over seven lengths at big odds, after a debut seventh behind Spirit Of Nical. A R550,000 yearling purchase, but the race form is still modest and she has to show a sharper turn of foot fresh.

Returns from a five-month break after a sole debut run at Fairview Aw, where she finished last of six in a MPLTE over 1000m, beaten over 17 lengths at long odds. She is untried around 1200m and remains very light on race evidence. The pedigree gives some longer-term interest, but she must produce a much more competitive effort here.

Resumes after an eight-month spell with a five-start maiden record that has not yet produced a placing. His best recent result was fourth in a Mdn at this track on soft ground, beaten five lengths in a big field and unwanted in the market, but the run prior was a distant last at Fairview Aw. With no placing from four starts at this track and distance, others look better placed.

Resumes after an eight-month spell for a leading Fairview stable and gets Richard Fourie aboard, which gives her a stronger set-up than her exposed form. She was sixth at Vaal when last seen, beaten seven and a half lengths and unwanted in the market, following a heavy debut defeat at Turffontein Standside. Stable and jockey factors keep her in the place mix.

Has had plenty of chances, with no win from 28 starts, but there is some place substance in his recent pattern. He was fifth at Fairview Aw last start, beaten just over six lengths, after a better third over 1400m when beaten a length and a half at big odds. Four placings from ten rides with Jason Gates help, though his turf record remains a genuine knock.

Returns from a five-week let-up after producing the best run of his campaign, a second in a MPLTE over 1000m at Fairview Aw when beaten just under two lengths as a well-supported favourite. He is third-up and should be fitter for two runs back, though his only previous attempt around 1200m brought no placing. The latest effort still makes him a major contender.

Second-up after a very plain Fairview Aw debut, where he finished second last in a Mdn and was beaten over 20 lengths at big odds. The 4kg claim and Alan Greeff stable are useful pieces of the set-up, but there was no market or race-day evidence to suggest he is close yet. He has to improve sharply to trouble the main chances.

Returns from a four-month break with some of the better overall maiden form in the field. He ended last campaign with an eighth at Fairview Aw when near the top of betting but easing, yet his run prior was a second in a MPLTE over 1000m as a firming odds-on favourite. Four placings from ten starts and strong recent ratings give him a proper winning case fresh.

Second-up after a sound fourth in BM68 company at this track, beaten just over five lengths at long odds, and that grade gives him a clear form edge back in this maiden plate. He has placed two times from three starts at this track and distance and four times from nine overall. The wide barrier is the one reservation, but his recent rating profile makes him the one to beat.
