The combination of trainer Alan Greeff and jockey Richard Fourie continue to have a steady stream of winners each week at Fairview and that can again be the case on Friday when he sends out Heart Stealer in Race 7, a MR 82 Handicap over 1900m.
Heart Stealer has already won two of just four of his starts for Greeff and was particularly impressive last time out when scoring by five lengths over 2000m at this track.
That was the third time the Time Thief gelding had worn blinkers and his second victory with them fitted.
An eight-point penalty for that win will make it tougher for him and there are some in-form and hard-knocking types but he looks likely to follow up.
Earlier on this card we could have a match race developing in Race 3, a MR 86 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1200m with Love grass and Bomber Girl expected to fight out the finish.
Bomber Girl has got the better of that argument in both of their recent starts but it has been close, and it can be even tighter this time.
On 4 February on the Fairview Polytrack Bomber Girl was 0.25 lengths ahead of Lovegrass and she was in receipt of 1.5kg.
Later that month on Bomber Girl finished fifth behind Gocekwithlove and 1.10 lengths behind while Lovegrass was a further length back. They were at level weights that day and Lovegrass will be giving 0.5kg to Bomber Girl this week.
The telling difference is that Fourie gets to ride Lovegrass again and he was a winner on the only occasion he has ridden her.
