Trainer Alan Greeff and jockey Richard Fourie can have another very successful meeting at Fairview on the Polytrack on Tuesday
They hold a number of winning chances but probably two of the best look to be Ono No Komachi in Race 2 and Lady Silvano in Race 7.
One World filly Ono No Komachi has had just the five starts and has finished in the first four in all of them, considering her first start was over 1000m and her last was over 1900m.
In her last start she was making late progress into third place and now she will try 2200m in this Maiden Plate.
Blinkers have also been added and she will taste the Poltrack for the first time.
Bold Silvano filly Lady Silvano was off the track from November 2023 to October 2024 but has made good progress since her return. She was particularly impressive when scoring by 3.25 lengths in December and followed that up with two good runs.
It will be Fourie’s first race-ride on her when she lines up in this Conditions Plate for fillies and mares over 1600m. She is probably better over further but based on her penultimate start over this distance when she finished a 0.75-length second behind Luna Halo, one should not ignore her chances.
It is worth noting that stable companion Catch Your Breath, who is also in this race, has disappointed twice under Fourie on the turf and returns to the Polytrack where she has been impressive.
Jockey Kendall Minnie does not ride too many winners in a season but has a real chance on Catch Your Breath.
