There is some exciting racing coming up at Fairview in the next few days and racing fans are no doubt anticipating the return of unbeaten star filly Anotherdanceforme at Friday’s meeting.
But while that meeting is on the turf track, Wednesday’s meeting takes place on the Polytrack and there are some decent runners in action.
Perhaps the best bet on the card comes up in Race 3, a Novice Plate over 1600m, where trainer Sharon Kotzen sends out Honorable Member.
The stable is in top form and this daughter of Rabada has been very consistent of late. This filly has taken on far stronger than she will meet in this race and has had no problem on the Polytrack, finishing runner-up in all three her runs on the surface.
Based on merit ratings alone she looks a shoe-in to win this because had this been a handicap, she would have been conceding at least 7.5kg to her closest rival.
She has been running in local features and has run behind the likes of Bosnay, Red Sash, Epikleros and even My Best Shot.
Jockey Louie Mxothwa has also been in fine form of late, he knows her well and they do look a winning combination.
Danish Dynamite obviously has her issues, but she is very speedy and can make all the running in Race 6, a MR 84 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1000m. She has won two of her four starts so far and had excuses for both defeats. She met a decent filly on debut when outpaced late by Sports Girl, who has progressed very nicely since then and was an impressive winner earlier this month.
Danish Dynamite then thrashed Sylvan Mistress, who has won twice since and followed that with a good win over Buffalo Bill. She meets some useful opposition but back on the Polytrack Craig Zackey will make good use of her early speed.
