Friday’s Fairview card looks competitive, but bettors should get a decent run out of the Alan Greeff-trained Cliff Top in Race 7, a MR 82 Handicap over 1200m on the turf.
The three-year-old who will be having his first run as a gelding, was named Eastern Cape Champion Two-Year-Old Colt after winning both the Listed Summer Juvenile Stakes over 1000m at Kenilworth on Cape Town Met day and the East Cape Nursery over 1200m at Fairview. Richard Fourie takes the ride for the first time.
While there are no feature events on the card, there is still some thrilling racing at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Saturday.
Once again, the card features a number of runners who looked to be useful juveniles making their first appearances as three-year-olds and hopefully they can shed some light on their prospects in Classic races later in the season.
However, the main event of the day is Race 7, a strongly contested Pinnacle Stakes over 1000m. Candice Bass-Robinson could hold the key to this race as she sends out two extremely talented performers in African Rain and Resonate.
They are also the two best weighted runners in the line-up and could well fight it out.

Warren Kennedy won the National Jockeys’ title last season by a distance and he was expected to be flying him and his family off to New Zealand to continue his riding career in that country.
However, in the interim he will be riding at a few meetings.
In that regard, he is carded for three rides at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Sunday and could come away with a winner or two.
The best of his trio comes up in Race 6, a MR 86 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1900m on the turf track, where he rides Southern Cape for trainer Paul Lafferty.
