Fairview Tips on January 31st - Best Bets and Predictions

WINTER IN PARIS produced a decent local debut effort over this C&D. She should have finished closer to the winner that day as she hung outwards in the final 200m. It must be noted that the horse that finished second has come out and won since. The daughter of What A Winter gets the blinkers fitted which should keep her mind on the task at hand. Muzi Yeni is booked to ride and the combination may find themselves in the winner’s enclosure.

OH MANDY cost herself winning last time as she lost a length leaving the start. However, the manner in which she ran on at the finish was eye-catching. The daughter of Rafeef will love racing on this course with the longer run-in. She gets the blinkers fitted and from her good draw of two, she may be the one to beat.

ONO NO KOMACHI has fair form lines to her credit. She returns from a 10-week break and is having her first run for the Alan Greeff stable. The daughter of One World carries a handy galloping mass of 54kgs and if settled into her new surroundings, she should be involved at the finish.

BOURNEMOUTH stayed on when fifth in the Listed Betway Algoa Cup last time. He finished 2.5 lengths behind Firealley that day. He is 5kgs better off at the weights this afternoon and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He has won twice and finished third once from as many starts over this C&D. If jumping on terms, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.

MAKHACHEV finished 1.25 lengths behind EL ROMIACHI last time. He is 4.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. The son of Red Ray has a wide draw to overcome, but Muzi Yeni should give him all the necessary assistance from the saddle. He may be the one to side with.
