Fairview Race 1 - Welcome To Nelson Mandela Bay Open Mdn (F & M)
AMERICAN GEM (3) Close to a win last run at this track and suited by the weight drop. This suits. EL COHETE (7) Tidy run when 3rd last run at Durbanville and goes down in weight. Shows good early pace. Racing for a new trainer. Winning chance in what appears a suitable race. TAKEACHANCEONME (2) Ran 7th last start around here. Capable of a strong comeback and can find a nice position from the draw. Will be facing a significant drop in distance. Can give this a shake. MEDITERRANEANFLAME (1) Backs up quickly. Came in 5th last time here but has drawn the rails. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Could work into the placings.

Backing up quickly. At $13.00 ran 5th last time at this venue but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Likely to get back. Possible place chance.

Fresh after a break. Was $67.00 and unimpressive effort when 7th last time at Vaal but carrying less weight this time. Coming to a new trainer. Long shot.

Was competitive when 3rd last run at Durbanville and gets some weight relief. First start for a new trainer. Should come to hand quickly. Good tough competitor that can be supported.
