Go lightly with Tracy on Fairview Polytrack

May 2022

Jack Milner

Probably the most interesting race on the Fairview Polytrack on Monday comes up in Race 6, a MR 78 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1600m.
Golightly has made good progress since joining the Alan Greeff (pictured) yard with three wins in just five starts since moving to the Eastern Cape.
Two of those wins were over this course-and-distance and although giving weight to all her rivals, she is a big runner.
Tamil Tiger won nicely in her first start for the yard and ran on well when runner-up to To The Max, both over this course and distance. Tamil Tiger will be receiving 7.5kg from her rival and she could prove better than her rating which suggests she could capsize the favourite.
There is also, however, a raider from the Western Cape, in Global Goddess who also deserves some respect.
Trainer Candice Bass-Robinson does not send down runners unless they hold a winning chance.
However, on a tricky card, it could worth making Golightly a banker in all bets.
Another decent bet comes up in Race 2 where Sharon Kotzen runs Tracy's Strike in a Maiden Plate for fillies and mares over 1300m.
She will be having her second run at Fairview and should go one better this time. The Rafeef filly has been runner-up in three of her seven starts and if she shows her best form, she could be a bit better than the rivals who are her taking on.
