Eight races are carded on the turf track at Fairview Racecourse this afternoon.
The main event of the day is the Listed East Cape Oaks over 2000m.
The first is due off at 12h40.
Blonde Act from the Alan Greeff stable takes his place in Race 5. He is a winner of his last four starts, the latest of which was over this distance on the polytrack.
It must be noted that the horse that finished third in his last outing has come out and won since. He continues to rise in the ratings but may still be ahead of the handicapper in the Eastern Cape and can win again.
Hollywoodbets-sponsored trainer Cliffie Miller saddles Stage Play in Race 1 and she represents decent each way value. She ran a fair race behind Luna Halo in the Listed East Cape Fillies Nursery last time.
She showed good pace in both her efforts and will enjoy the drop to 1000m. The yard is in fine form and back against Maiden Company, she may be the one to side with.
