The R150 000 Listed Memorial Mile heads the eight-race Fairview programme today and is the final Eastern Cape feature of 2018 – at what is the penultimate meeting of the year in that region.
Star Chestnut – close to a banker today
Justin Snaith and Richard Fourie will be looking to close their away book on a high and they could do so with the Horse Chestnut gelding who looks favourably in on the weight-for-age terms plus penalties conditions of the mile contest.
Star Chestnut ran a cracking sixth just over 3 lengths off his stablemate Kasimir in the recent Cape Merchants and it is going to take a brave man to back against a champion combination with a fit and talented horse.
The Snaith-Fourie combination only have two runners on the day and they must have a major shout in the fifth, where they take on the locals with the well-performed Fifty Cents.
