Winning Form brings you their top tips for an exciting Fairview race day on Friday, 9th February 2018. These expert picks come from Winning Form along with their respected back page tipster – Magic Tips by eMeM.
Race 2: SECRET WARNING (3)
Race 3: LIMERICK RIDGE (3)
Race 4: RATSO RIZZO (3)
Race 1: ICARUS FLIGHT (2)
Jockey: J Penny – Trainer: C Spies
ICARUS FLIGHT showed great promise on his recent local debut on turf despite a not-so-ideal ride. The additional furlong today should suit this lightly raced bay colt, who may benefit from switching to this more forgiving surface given his past issues.
Race 2: TREES OF GREEN (6)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: Laing Tara
TREES OF GREEN brings versatility and solid recent form, narrowly beaten over the mile and comfortably ahead of the next rival. The six-year-old entire has the capability to handle the stronger field today and should make the most of an advantageous draw.
Race 3: SEARCHING (2)
Jockey: G Cheyne – Trainer: A Greeff
SEARCHING is developing well, finishing strongly when runner-up over a shorter trip at this course recently. The addition of blinkers should enhance her performance, and the extra furlong today will be to her advantage.
Race 8: JOKING DICE (9)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: C Spies
JOKING DICE has a solid record with this in-form jockey, having run creditably in recent races. Benefiting from a three-pound reduction in merit rating and a good draw, this daughter of Crusade has a strong chance to shine.
VALUE BET
Race 5: TUBULAR BELL (2)
Jockey: L Hewitson – Trainer: Y Bremner
This novice race is intriguing, with merit ratings not always the best guide. TUBULAR BELL impressed in his local debut over a mile, showing a strong finishing burst. The son of Oratorio looks well-suited to this longer distance, especially on this surface, and could outperform his current rating.
