Friday's South Africa (Fairview) preview

RACE 1 (1,100M)

(1) DANILO and stable companion (2) DEMONTE are capable of improving.

RACE 2 (1,600M)

Respect (8) RUN FLORIST RUN.

RACE 3 (1,400M)

(5) MODAKHAR looked an unlucky loser first-up and could go one better this time.

(6) LION OF EDEN can improve.

(1) EXION has been disappointing but capable of earning some money.

(2) LITTLE DRUMMER BOY needs to do more to win a race but could play a minor role.

RACE 4 (1,400M)

(3) BEYOND TEMTATION is in good form and can contest the finish again.

RACE 5 (1,400M)

(4) MARCH MUSIC usually finds one or two a bit too good, but could earn some money.

RACE 6 (1,600M)

(1) BOLD STRIKE has won only once but has been in very good form. Deserves another win.

(2) MOUNT EVEREST is coming off a recent maiden win but will find this a tougher task.
