Say good day to Mitchley’s La Ville at Fairview

Jack Milner

Muzi Yeni is out of his suspension and will be in action at Fairview on Friday when they race on the turf. He has picked up some decent rides for trainer Kelly Mitchley and with the stable in top form, they could pick up a winner or two.

Best of the bunch could be talented filly Bonjour La Ville, who could follow up on a decent win over Danish Dynamite in Race 6, a MR 86 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1000m.

This William Longsword filly has won three of her nine starts and looked better than ever when slamming the Gavin Smith-trained Danish Dynamite by 1.50 lengths over Fairview’s 1200m on 5 September. That form has held up very well as Danish Dynamite had won her previous start and went on to win her next outing after that defeat.

Bonjour La Ville quickened up very nicely that day and is clearly improving. That was only the second time Muzi Yeni had ridden her and he is getting to know her better. It was also her second attempt over that distance, and being dropped off the pace clearly suited her.

A five-point penalty may not be enough to stop another victory but she does face some decent rivals. Gavin Smith-trained Instaworthy was two lengths ahead of Bonjour La Ville when they met over this course and distance back in March and she showed she has regained some of her sparkle with a good win on the Polytrack last month.
