Take a Walkonthewildside at Fairview

Trainer Alan Greeff looks set for a strong meeting at Fairview on the Polytrack on Wednesday.

However, he won't team up with jockey Richard Fourie this time as the champion jockey is medically indisposed.

Andrew Fortune has stepped in to take over the majority of his rides. 

Golden Grey, in the very first race, could get the ball rolling for them. This Danon Platina gelding has been costly to follow, with four runner-up finishes in his last six starts. The four-year-old is a difficult ride who tends to flatten out right when it matters most. However, he meets a weak field this time and could finally go one better.

Smashing, a daughter of the very speedy dam Wrecking Ball, has taken her time to find her best form but looked good when winning on this surface.

The Rafeef filly picked up a five-point penalty for that win over 1200m, yet she can follow up and take out Race 4, a FM 64 Handicap over 1000m. She is not well drawn but has the speed to make all the running.

Like her stable companion Golden Grey, the filly Walkonthewildside is also a tough ride. The Gimmethegreenlight filly tends to lose interest mid-race and often gives her rivals a head start going into the final 400m. However, she is capable of a strong finish and has won 3 of her 7 starts.

Walkonthewildside tries the 2000m of Race 8 for the first time, but she could well send favourite punters home with a winner.

Gareth Wright will replace Fourie on this ride.
