The first meeting of today’s local double-header takes place at Fairview.
An eight-race programme has been carded with the first due off at 12h20 and the lucky last set for 16h30.
Richard Fourie and Alan Greeff team up again at Fairview today (Pic – 4Racing)
Trainer Alan Greeff sends out Ignitethelight in Race 7. She ran a good race when second in the Non-Black Type Aloe Stakes last time.
It must be noted that Splicethemainbrace has come out and won again since.
The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight will strip a much fitter horse. If taking to the turf course, under jockey Richard Fourie, she should take a power of beating.
Flash Lightning from the Jacques Strydom stable takes his place in Race 6. He was given a peach of a ride when winning his last start over 1600m on this course.
The son of Visionaire won his only attempt over this course and distance. He meets a similar field this afternoon.
He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from the widest draw and will be mowing down the frontrunners.
- Race 2 – #1 KINGDUNDEE – 196 day break – being rested
