Mauritius Race 4 - 1m Stakes
FEAR OF FIRE (4) earns top billing through consistency and proven conditions, having won over this track and distance two starts back before a sound second to Kola Tonic, beaten just under two lengths as favourite in 0-26 grade. His track record reads one win and two places from three starts, and the move into BM31 company gives him a strong winning profile. CANFORD CLUB (1) is the immediate danger after beating Sea Dance by two lengths over 1500m at this track last start, with a prior BM36 sixth looking less persuasive but offset by his overall upward form. FLAG CHAMP (3) won first-up over 1400m as favourite and has the talent to press on, although his 1650m record makes him a slightly more qualified chance. WUGUG (2) gets a class drop and barrier 1 after a last-start fifth, and her earlier third at this track keeps her in the minor mix.

Returns from a six-week let-up after winning over 1500m at this track, scoring from Sea Dance by two lengths while near the top of betting. That was a clear turnaround from a sixth in BM36 company start prior, beaten five and a half lengths by Ashikule at generous odds. He has placed at around 1650m and, with the winning rider back, profiles as a genuine top-three hope.

Was last of five over 1500m at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths by Not In Doubt as an outside chance in the betting. Her third to Blackjack Randall over 1400m start prior was better, albeit at big odds and still beaten just over four lengths. The class drop, barrier 1 and two wins with nine places from 28 starts give her a minor hope rather than a strong win profile.

Back after two months between runs following a first-up win over 1400m at this track, where he started favourite and beat Kaisarissa by just under a length in 0-25 grade. His Greyville fourth start prior was sound, beaten a length and a half, also as favourite. He has placed once from three tries around 1650m, so the last-start win gives him a solid place platform.

Returns from a five-week freshening with the most reliable recent profile, having won over this track and distance two back before running second to Kola Tonic last start, beaten just under two lengths as favourite in 0-26 grade. His record at this track is one win and two places from three starts, and Manoel Nunes has been aboard for all three. Dropping into BM31, he sets the standard and looks the runner to beat.

Has to rebound from a tailed-off last of five over 1850m at this track, when an outside chance in the betting behind Lava County. The start prior was only marginally better in BM36 company, fifth and beaten just over eight lengths by Lomu at long odds. He drops 2.5kg and is third-up, but is unplaced in three tries around 1650m, leaving him a rough place chance only.
