It is a competitive card on the Polytrack at Fairview on Tuesday but it could be worth being with Alan Greeff’s runners.
Greeff went through a storm, having had 50 losers in a row last month, but his yard is back and is doing well.
On Tuesday he has made some interesting jockey arrangements.
Miss Greenlight and The Mauritian are two Greeff-trained runners with jockey Richard Fourie aboard that come to mind.
Greeff has three of the nine runners carded in Race 7 and his star, three-year-old colt Fairy Knight, is back as well as his decent Polytrack sprinter Inherit The Rain. So, it was a bit of a surprise that The Mauritian gets the services of Fourie.
The Mauritian has had six starts for Greeff and has just one win to show for it. That win was his second time on the Polytrack when he won over 1600m.
The Mauritian had previously finished fifth and 6.35 lengths behind Inherit The Rain over 1400m.
The four-year-old gelding is also badly out at the weights with some of his rivals, in particular Prince Of Fire.
Fourie has also been aboard Fairy Knight in all his wins and the Global View gelding is best forgiven for his run in the East Cape Derby as he clearly failed to get the trip.
Fourie was aboard recent Greeff recruit Gocekwithlove when a well backed and very easy winner in June.
Gocekwithlove picked up an eight-point penalty for that win but the manner of that victory suggested there are wins left in her.
She runs in Race 6, but Fourie is now aboard another recent recruit, Miss Greenlight, who has not won this year but is in good form and is well-drawn.
Another Greeff-trained runner that might be worth a bet or two is For All We Know in Race 5.
This Silvano mare was in good form earlier this year, winning twice, and her last run was too bad to be a true reflection of her.
However, a tough No 10 draw will not make it easy for Fourie.
