The non black-type Founders Trophy heads the Fairview eight-race polytrack meeting this afternoon.
As it’s month end, exotic pools are expected to be healthy, but without a standout banker, the card looks tricky.
Back from holiday, Greg Cheyne has a decent card of rides and he pilots the former Brett Crawford runner Union Jack in the feature.
The son of Captain Al has improved steadily at his three runs here and beat Stormy Eclipse with authority last time. His polytrack ability is unknown – although it is inconceivable to think that trainer Alan Greeff would have taken his chances on the surface. He is a big runner.
Gimme The Stars lost his last race in the stipes boardroom and could set the record straight here.
Dawnbreaker is a powerful front-runner who bids for a hat-trick of wins.
