Fairview

Race 5 – 14:50
1200m – Betway Cradock Place Stakes (Non-Black Type)

1 – Cruise Control
Breeding: Querari (GER) – Eurythmics by Sail From Seattle (CAN)
Trainer: Gavin Smith
Jockey: Luyolo Mxothwa
Wgt: 61.0kg
Draw: 6 (6 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/10

He was an easy winner in the Non-Black Type Speedsters Stakes last time and he is very well. He does have top weight to carry but he is the class horse in the race. The son of Querari is unbeaten from five starts under Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Luyolo Mxothwa. He is expected to be a huge runner once again.

Winning Form Comment: Ex Howells D C-2024.07.28. Best MR:118. Hard to oppose on form.

Race 5 – 14:50
1200m – Betway Cradock Place Stakes (Non-Black Type)

2 – Cliff Top
Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – Baqueira by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Alan Greeff
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 61.0kg
Draw: 5 (6 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1

He returns to the Eastern Cape after two below par efforts in KZN. This is a small but competitive field and Cruise Control is the horse to beat. He is doing well at home and we are hoping to see him find his best form.

Winning Form Comment: Ex Muscutt P B-2024.06.17. Rested 16 wks. Best MR:116. Better than last two runs.

Race 6 – 15:25
1600m – Betway MR 80 Handicap

2 – Tirpitz
Breeding: Silvano (GER) – Exotic (IRE) by Galileo (IRE)
Trainer: Alan Greeff
Jockey: Kendall Minnie
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 3 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1

He is better than his last start on the polytrack and will enjoy the return to the turf. The son of Silvano has dropped in the ratings and will be at peak fitness. He is doing well at home and we are hoping to see him produce his best form.

Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:89. Is better than latest on the polytrack. Will enjoy this C&D.

Race 6 – 15:25
1600m – Betway MR 80 Handicap

7 – Meetatthewindsor
Breeding: Pomodoro – Flight Zone by Jet Master
Trainer: Alan Greeff
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 55.5kg
Draw: 5 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1

He was touched off in his last start over this distance on the polytrack. The son of Pomodoro is ideally suited to this course and distance. Ridgemont-sponsored Jockey Richard Fourie steps back into the saddle and with a nice weight of 55.5kgs, we can expect a competitive effort.

Winning Form Comment: Best MR:77. Just touched off in latest and the form line has been franked.

Race 8 – 16:35
2000m – Betway MR 86 Handicap

1 – My Golly Molly
Breeding: Fire Away (USA) – Molly R by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Gavin Smith
Jockey: *Donald Geerthsen -1.5kg
Wgt: 60.5kg
Draw: 2 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1

He is carded to carry 60.5kgs but gets the services of Apprentice Donald Geerthsen who takes 1.5kgs off his back. He is better than his two local efforts as he had excuses in both runs. The son of Fire Away steps up to 2000m for the first time. He is doing well and from his good draw of two, we are expecting to see improvement.

Winning Form Comment: Ex Sands AE-2024.05.26. Best MR:100. Had excuses in both local efforts. Can improve.

Race 8 – 16:35
2000m – Betway MR 86 Handicap

8 – El Rey Viene
Breeding: William Longsword – Brave Bid by Qui Danzig (USA)
Trainer: Gavin Smith
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 3 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1

He has been disappointing since relocating to the Eastern Cape. The son of William Longsword is doing well at home and jumps from a good draw of three. Craig Zackey retains the ride and we are hoping to see him find his best form.

Winning Form Comment: Best MR:86. Is held by number 3 on latest. Don’t ignore.
