Friday sees yet another competitive meeting full of quality at Fairview in Port Elizabeth.
The main race is the Fairview Mile and last year’s winner Celtic Fire (Yvette Bremner) has a good chance of winning the race again.
Celtic Fire is one of three horses in the race with a merit rating of more than 100 – the others being stable mate Blaze of Fire and the big danger Indian Hawk (Justin Snaith).
Indian Hawk will have lots of followers, the only concern being that it is his first run after a rest of more than two months.
In the Racing Association Sophomore Plate for three-year-olds over 1 400m the promising Way Clear (Greeff) will be looking for his fourth victory in a row. He will have strong opposition and does carry the most weight but is in such great form that he looks a banker in all bets.
A Conditions Plate for fillies and mares over 1 100m is another race to look forward to. Lunar Lee, Agra and Vivalda will ensure a great contest. It is a pity that Cashmere Mafia has been scratched.
