A pair of Listed races top the card at Fairview on Friday and both could go the way of raiding trainers.
Race 2 is the Ibhayi Stakes for three-year-olds over 1400m and is the first leg of the Sophomore Challenge.
It should be an interesting affair as Tara Laing’s talented gelding Buffalo Bill heads up the field and comes out as best weighted. The son of Buffalo Bill Cody has raced eight times for four wins, three seconds and a third, and has done little wrong.
He also gets on with jockey Wayne Agrella who will be on board once again.
However, Justin Snaith is coming to town and he will be bringing useful Danon Platina colt Pomp It Up. While only a two-time winner, he has raced against stronger in the Western Cape and was probably a touch unlucky last time when a close up fifth over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth.
JP van der Merwe takes the ride.
Race 7 is the Lady’s Pendant, over 1200m, featuring a strong mix of local and visiting runners. Leading the local challenge are Dean Smith’s pair, Danish Dynamite and Song Of Myself, who are both in fine form.
Danish Dynamite has won four of her seven starts, while Song Of Myself is four from five since joining the yard. Both are very speedy but may be tested over 1200m.
The distance will be no problem for Candice Bass-trained Symphony In White and she could prove hard to beat in this field and will also have Van der Merwe in the irons.
Former Equus Champion Broodmare Halfway To Heaven will be in the spotlight at HWB
