Anotherdanceforme set to tango at Fairview

Jack Milner

When you have good two-year-olds you have building blocks for the next three years.

That was the comment made by trainer Alan Greeff after Anotherdanceforme won the Grade 2 Golden Slipper over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Greyville on HWB Durban July day.

There is no question in Anotherdanceforme, Golden Palm and Direct Hit Greeff had the best performing two-year-old fillies in the country in his yard and now it is time to plan for the likes the Grade 1 Cape Fillies Guineas later in the year.

“Definitely, you’ve got to think about those races with these fillies and place them accordingly,” added Greeff.

Direct Hit has already set the standard with an impressive comeback win and on Friday it is the turn of Anotherdanceforme, who lines up in Race 6, the ROA Plate for three-year-olds over 1400m on the turf at Fairview.

The Master Of My Fate filly is unbeaten in five starts and won the Golden Slipper far easier than the 1.40-length margin over Quickstepgal as she ducked right across the track.

Hopefully she will have matured a little since her last start and got over her habit of hanging but she will have Richard Fourie back in the irons and he knows how to handle her.

She will be taking in the colts for the first time and she also has to give them. However, she is still at least 6kg better handicapped than any of her rivals and it comes as no surprise she has been priced up at 1-10 to make a triumphant comeback.

The feature race on this card is Race 7, the Cradock Stakes over 1200m, and it looks very interesting. The Greeff – Fourie team is well represented by Fairy Knight. The Global View gelding remains in good form and has finished runner-up in his last two starts, the latest when 3.25 lengths behind Song Of Myself over 1000m at this track. He clearly found that trip a bit sharp and now meets that rival on 3.5kg better terms.

Song Of Myself was impressive that day and was full of running, but she will need to prove she is as good over this distance.

Snaith Racing are represented by Royal Aussie, who is capable of breaking a long losing run, if he can cope with the severe drop in trip.
