Fairview Turf Friday Formguides and Selections
R1 (2) AWAY WITH RED has been consistent recently and will be a strong contender. (1) AMERICAN MATADOR ran well in the last start and is overdue to win, include in everything. (3) BOMBER STREAM is capable of much better, he should be involved and should be respected as he makes his provincial debut. (12) MONEY GALORE is holding good enough form and has scope to go well. (Devonne Govender 2-1-3-12).
R2 (1) DIRECT HIT has been very impressive, she oozes class and will take an absolute power of beating here, banker in everything. (3) SWEETIE DARLING is capable of much better and that last run is best ignore, she can place at best. (2) ELLORIX won a gutsy race in her last start and is another that should get into the placings. (4) MONTELENA is a very honest type and must be included in the quartets. (Devonne Govender 1-3-2-4).
R3 (15) FULL OF MAGIC is holding consistent and will have a strong winning chance. (10) ICE CAP is another who has always been there in the mix and will be a big challenger. (1) JAPANESE GARDEN won well when shedding her maiden and has scope to go well. (13) JUST ONE KISS has plenty scope to go well, she wasn’t far in her last run and should be respected here. (Devonne Govender 15-10-1-13).
R4 (7) SPORTS FAN ran a cracker in the last start, she has plenty scope to continue progressing hence she is the top choice. (2) SMASHING is holding consistent form and looks the main danger to the top selection, she is very capable on her day and needs to be respected. (1) FIERY COUNTESS won a gutsy race in the last start, she cracks the ace draw and will be in the firing line. (5) ENCHANTING LADY hasn’t been far in recent starts and could add value to the quartets. (Devonne Govender 7-2-1-5).
R5 (7) BEER WITH THE BOYS is holding form and will be in the firing line from the ace draw. (2) BACK FOR MORE ran a cracker in the last start and a repeat will see him challenging strongly. (4) STRANGE MAGIC is never far back and could represent value with a top rider aboard. (1) ALWAYS SHINING is capable of much better, although he jumps from a tough draw he has a top rider up and must go into larger perms. (Devonne Govender 7-2-4-1).
R6 (8) OUTBACK EXPRESS is knocking on the door and looks set to run a cracker. He was narrowly beaten in the last start and will go extremely close to winning. (1) BOMBER BAY jumps from the ace draw however has had many chances. She will need to be respected with a top rider up. (4) SEMPRE BELLA is another who is holding form and very capable of running a big race, include in everything. (6) DARLING GIRL ran a much improved race in the last start and must go into the quartets. (Devonne Govender 8-1-4-6).
R7 (3) MY BEST SHOT packs plenty of class, he clearly may have needed his last start back in the province and is expected to bounce back with a bang, banker in all bets. (1) ROYAL AUSSIE ran a cracker in his last start and another honest run is expected however he will need to lift to beat the top selection. (2) BINGWA is never far back and could get a lot closer so he needs to be respected. (8) LANCIAFIAMME is holding good consistent form and is on the up, he meets a strong field but could get into the action. (Devonne Govender 3-1-2-8).
R8 (8) GOLDEN GREY is holding solid form and looks very tough to beat from the best draw. (3) GRAND ALLEGRO is another who has been consistent and is expected to be in the firing line. (1) NEW MEXICO was a sudden improver in the province and is expected to go well again. (2) FRENCH FLAME ran well in the last start and will be in the mix once again. (Devonne Govender 8-3-1-2).
