Juvenile fillies to the fore at Fairview

Eastern Cape Champion trainer Gavin Smith has been in very good form of late and his runners could take centre stage once again at Fairview on Friday.

It is great to see it is a turf meeting with bigger fields and lots of competitive racing.

The meeting will kick off with the first Juvenile fillies only race and Heavenly Blue filly Happy Holly will represent Smith. This filly will be ready to run on debut.

Trainer Alan Greeff usually has a good one lined up for this race and Master Of My Fate filly Splicethemainbrace and the pair have been riced up joint favourites at 22-10.

The other newcomer to catch the eye is the Captain Of All filly Serendipitous with Muzi Yeni in the irons.

Jet Bund in Race 3, a Maiden Plate over 1600m, will be carrying the hopes of most exotic players as he could be a banker bet.

The Coup De Grace gelding has been runner-up in both of his local starts and should go one better this time.

Jet Bund was caught out of his ground on the Polytrack in November and was only run out of it late last time out on the turf. The step up to 1600m will suit him.

The main danger looks to be Give Us A Smile and Swingers and Exactas with the two looks the way to go in this race.
