Fairview Tips on April 18th - Best Bets and Predictions

AUGUSTA ROSSO produced a promising debut effort over 1000m on this course. The daughter of Erik The Red would have gained from the experience and will love the rise to 1200m. With the natural improvement that is expected, she should go one better.

MHLABENI has shown good signs of a form return in his last two starts. He set the pace over 1600m last time but found one too good in the form of Bingwa. He won his only attempt over this C&D. The son of Elusive Fort is likely to get his own way in front from barrier two and he may be hard to peg back.

LADY SILVANO won a good race over 1600m on the polytrack last time. She set the pace and kept finding all the way to the line. The daughter of Bold Silvano has won over this distance previously. She is the stable elect with Richard Fourie in the saddle and can follow up.

IGUGULETHU was given a peach of a ride when winning his last start over this C&D. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He received a six-pound penalty. The son of Erupt is in a good space and he can follow up with another victory.

DIRECT HIT followed up her impressive debut win with an equally impressive victory in the Grade 3 SplashOut Cape Of Good Hope Nursery, at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. The daughter of Canford Cliffs is the class horse in this contest and she should keep her unbeaten record intact.
