Fairview Race 4 - Youcanbetonus! Open Mdn
CAPRANICA (3) Average performance when 7th last run around here. Has the ability to turn things around but back to a shorter distance. Winning chance in this line up. BUGLE (4) Looked good when 2nd last start at the track and returns to an increased distance. Good prospects. WITCHING HOUR (6) Tidy effort when 3rd last run here. Displays good tactical speed. Include in chances. STRAIGHT RED (2) Came in 5th last time here. Happy to forgive that run and will try to take advantage of the gate. Not out of this.

Finished fourth in an MPLTE over 2600m at Turffontein Inside last start, beaten just over three lengths after starting a heavily backed favourite. The drop to 1800m is not an automatic plus given his record of one placing from 13 tries around the trip, but the class drop, weight relief and Craig Zackey booking offset that concern. This looks his best recent chance to break through.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fifth in an MPLTE at Fairview Aw, beaten four and a half lengths when unwanted in the market. His third at this track the run prior was sound, and he has placed twice from three starts at this venue. The 1800m record is the sticking point, so he profiles as a rough place chance rather than a win play.

Dropped out to finish last at Fairview Aw over 2200m last start, beaten just under six lengths despite being a heavily backed favourite. His previous run reads much better, a half-length second to Secret Eruption in MPLTE grade, and Richard Fourie is a significant booking. With top weight and an unplaced record around 1800m, he is more a place candidate than a runner to take on trust.

Lifted sharply last start when second in an MPLTE at this track over 1400m, beaten just over a length by Lightning Red at big odds. That was a much stronger piece of form than his Fairview Aw seventh the start prior, and he now has a fitter platform. With eight placings from 21 starts, another minor placing is within reach if he holds that level.

Finished fourth at Fairview Aw last start, beaten a length and a half after firming from opening levels, so the market gave him respect and the run had merit. He was also fourth at this track the start prior as favourite, beaten three lengths. The concern is an unplaced record around 1800m and on turf, but his recent margins are close enough to give him realistic place claims.
