Raiders to dominate PE feature

March 2021

The Listed Breeders Guineas over 1600m takes centre stage at Fairview on Friday and it does look an interesting race.

Local hope and decent filly Santa Therese faces a number of visiting rivals and will probably need to up her game to see them off.

Her record of three wins from five starts is good and she deserves the utmost respect as she has been getting better the further she goes and should have no problem with this distance.

So Flawless is one of a number of Andre Nel raiders for this meeting with a winning chance as she is proven over this distance, having won twice.

Brave New World was disappointing when unplaced last time. But it is worth noticing she did not wear blinkers and they are back on for this race. She will do a lot better this time.

There is probably not a more in-form yard than that of Justin Snaith and they have had two glorious weeks.

Gertrude Bell looked an unlucky loser last time out and the way she finished off that race suggests this course and distance will suit.

Jockey Richard Fourie knows how to get the best out of her and has made the trip so punters must include her in all bets.

The winner is likely to come from these four runners but the other four carded could also be considered for minor places.

Stable companions Musical Glitch and Sovereign Rose for trainer Glen Kotzen have made the trip so are not easily dismissed.

Kiss Of Life and Upper Ten have good local form but this is a tougher task for them.
