Painite to score for Louie and Sharon

Trainer Sharon Kotzen has had a tough year so far but is still managing to tick over some winners and she must have been well pleased to have her stable jockey, Louie Mxothwa, back from injury.

He was aboard Painite when the gelding won earlier this month over 1900m on the turf and as

Painite has a better record on the Polytrack, the surface over which they will race on Friday at Fairview, he can follow up.

The Richard Fourie-Alan Greeff combination continues to dominate the Eastern Cape and they have a number of winning chances.

Arabian Red in Race 6, a MR 74 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1600m, should be the best of them, and looks the banker for the exotics.

This Heavenly Blue filly has been improving all season and has won her last three starts over this course and distance.

In theory, it should be getting harder for her the higher her rating goes, but she seems to do enough to score each time.

Duchess Of Seville in Race 1 and Sharapova in Race 7 could both score for Fourie.

Duchess Of Saville tried blinkers last time out and did not seem to make much difference but it could second time around.

Sharapova has been threatening a second victory and a first for the yard for some time now but is suited to the course and distance.
