Fairview Tips on April 11th - Best Bets and Predictions

READY produced an encouraging debut effort over 1200m on this course, last week Friday. He showed good pace, but found one too good in the form of Winter Warfare. Stable Jockey Craig Zackey jumps aboard the son of Red Ray and if this run has not come too soon, he may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.

WAHEED ran a good race when second in the Listed Bryanston Auctioneers East Cape Guineas last time. He raced from a handy position, but found one too good in the form of My Best Shot. The son of Time Thief tries the 2000m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he may be the one to beat.

LOTUS ISLAND is a winner of her last three starts over this distance. She raced from a handy position last time, quickened up well and drew clear of the opposition. The daughter of Ideal World has found a new lease of life since relocating to the Eastern Cape and she is the horse to beat.

KINGDUNDEE should have finished closer to the winner last time as he hung outwards in the final 250m. His penultimate run when winning over this C&D was super impressive. The son of The United States is having his peak run and with Craig Zackey back in the saddle, he should take a power of beating.

CHAMPONELLE has produced two good second place finishes since winning his maiden. He finished 0.25 lengths behind SWEET AND TRUE last time. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. It is encouraging that Marco van Rensburg steps back into the saddle and the combination may find themselves in the winner’s enclosure.
