Youth Day At Fairview

Eight races on the polytrack today

Eight races are carded at Fairview on the polytrack this afternoon for the Youth Day racemeeting.

Don’t forget about the free to play Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge and the first is due off at 12h40.

Trainer Kelly Mitchley sends out Short Sharp Shock in Race 2. She ran a good race when second over 1200m on this course, three weeks ago.

She raced from a handy position but found one too good in the form of Siberian Fox. The daughter of Greys Inn jumps from a mid-field draw of five and in this field, she is the horse to beat.

Dream Scape from the Cliffie Miller yard represents decent each way value in Race 7. She may not have seen out the mile in her last start on this course.

She moved up to a point but did not go on with the effort. Her penultimate run when second over 1200m catches the eye. The 1400m should be right up her alley. She is drawn in barrier one and if jumping on terms, she can notch up her second-career victory.

Please note that jockeys Muzi Yeni and Kaidan Brewer are not riding today.
