Fairview Race 4

6F Hcap

Prize Money: $6,219

DUKE OF ORANGE (7) is putting together some solid results. Finished second of nine at this track two starts back then scored by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1300m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves plenty of thought. WILLIAM THE FIRST (3) returned from a spell a week ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth over 1200m at Fairview. Has never missed the placings at the second run back. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BYTHELITEOFTHEMOON (6) was far from disgraced when fourth last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. That followed a win at Fairview the start prior. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is right in contention. EYJAFJALLAJOKULL (2) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was beaten 7 lengths into 10th over 1200m at Fairview. Fitter this time and has each-way claims.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 11 at this track on June 24 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Youcrackmeup with 62kg at $6. The race before that won by 2.25 len at Fairview May 24 over 1200m defeating King Of Queen with 57.5kg at $4.30. Not a bad effort last time and is open to improvement.
