Fairview Race 1 - Welcome To Nelson Mandela Bay Open Mdn (F & M)
WEEKEND IN ASPEN (8) Honest race when 2nd last run around here and showing consistent performance in races. Shows good early pace. Has run into the money 3 from 3 attempts this campaign. Expect to go close. BAI YULU (1) Finished 2nd last start at the track. Should be going forward early. In the placings on multiple occasions this preparation. Will be there at the finish. BURNING DESIRE (2) Disappointing effort when 5th last start around here and will be down in distance. Each way bet at a price. LYRICS AND SONGS (7) On a quick back up. Did well when 3rd last run around here. Use betting as best guide.

Nice run when 2nd last start at this venue. Should jump out and bowl along. In strong racing shape since returning from a spell. Strong prospects.

Odds of $4.50 and average at best when 5th last start at this track and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Has a credible chance.

Started $17.00 and only fair when 6th last time around here but has drawn to do little work. Still in maiden grade after 11 runs. Looks too tough.

Looked good when 2nd last run at the track and putting a tidy record together so far. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Carrying less weight this time. Very capable of taking this out.

Odds of $23.00 and came in 5th last time at the track but gets a favourable gate. Will be positive in the run early. Tough ask.
