The Richard Fourie – Alan Greeff partnership should have a very good at Fairview on Friday with a number of outstanding winning chances.
It could starts as early as Race 1, a Maiden Juvenile Plate for fillies over 1200m, with Augusta Rosso.
This Eric The Red filly received plenty of betting support on debut but found more experienced rival Bonjour La Ville a bit too speedy on the day, but she did run with plenty of merit. Augusta Rosso was doing her best work late and she will have learned plenty from that debut performance.
She will be hard to beat.
So too should stable companion Lady Silvano in Race 3, a Conditions Plate for fillies and mares over 2000m.
This Fourie-ridden Greeff-trained filly has got better with each run this season. She picked up her fifth career win last time out on the Polytrack over 1600m but is just as good over this distance. Although she does give weight away to all her rivals she is clearly the one to be with.
The feature on this card comes up in Race 8, the Listed East Cape Nursery over 1200m where Greeff has a very strong hand.
Unbeaten Canford Cliffs filly Direct Hit has been very impressive to date, winning both her starts.
She won on debut at this track over 1000m by a wide margin and followed that with a raid to the Western Cape to win the Grade 3 Cape Of Good Hope Nursery over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, by 2.75 lengths.
Jockey Fourie was aboard her for both those wins and it will take a very good one to beat her.
Stable companion and another Canford Cliffs filly, Hot Sauce, could be anything. The filly was very impressive over the course and distance on debut and will not go down easily.
