Fairview
Race 3 – 13:50
1400m – TAB 4Racing App Maiden Plate
1 – Asinantanga
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Zante by Ideal World (USA)
Trainer: Gavin Smith
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 9 (18 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 12/10
He has been touched off in both his runs since arriving in the Eastern Cape. The son of Rafeef has come on with each outing and he is doing very well at home. He jumps from an awkward draw of eight and with luck in running, we are hoping to see him in the winner’s enclosure.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Marcus A N-2025.01.18. Best MR:77. Beaten a short-head in last two runs. Ready to win.

Breeding: Lancaster Bomber (USA) – Wild Date by Judpot (USA)
Trainer: Cliffie Miller
Jockey: Marco van Rensburg
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 14 (18 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He was unlucky over this course and distance last time. The son of Lancaster Bomber is working very well, and he is in a good space. Marco van Rensburg is booked to ride and he is capable of finishing in the first three.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:72. Should have finished closer to the winner in latest. Respect.

Trainer: Alan Greeff
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 15 (16 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
She has produced three good runs since relocating to the Eastern Cape. The daughter of Rafeef was unlucky not to have won her last start over this course and distance. Ridgemont-sponsored Jockey Richard Fourie steps back into the saddle and she is the horse to beat.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:72. In good form. Won local debut performance under Fourie and has strong claims.

Breeding: Master Of My Fate – Forest Lecture by Lecture (USA)
Trainer: Gavin Smith
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 5 (16 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
She returns from a 24-week break and has freshened up during her time off the track. The daughter of Master Of My Fate drops to 1200m and she is a happy horse going into this race. Craig Zackey is booked to ride, and she is capable of finishing in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 24 wks. Best MR:75. Better than last two runs. The break would have done her the world of good.
