Fairview plays host to an eight-race programme on the turf track this afternoon.
Muzi Yeni and Kelly Mitchley team up in all eight races with a couple of decent winning chances. The combination may be worth following and the first is due off at 12h25.

Muzi Yeni teams up with Kelly Mitchley for eight of the eight races today (Pic – Candiese Lenferna)
Seattle Ripper from the Kelly Mitchley stable may be the horse to close off the meeting. He has consistent form lines to his credit.
He finished 1.05 lengths behind Wordsworth in his penultimate run. He is 1kg better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish.
Both his career victories have come over this distance and with Muzi Yeni on board he can return to winning ways.
Ono No Komachi from the Alan Greeff stable takes her place in Race 2 and she is the best bet on the card.
She ran a good race when second in her local debut effort over 1400m on this course. She ran on well before getting caught late by Mayor Of Merrivale.
It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since.
The daughter of One World should have no issues with the rise to 1900m and in this line-up, she should take a power of beating.
