The new week starts off today with an eight-race programme on the polytrack at Fairview Racecourse. The first is due off at 13h05 and the lucky last is set for 16h55.
Hollywoodbets-sponsored trainer Gavin Smith saddles Modern Magician in Race 3. He got going too late when third over 1200m on this course last time.
The drop to 1000m should not pose a concern as he has won once and finished second once from four starts over this trip.
The son of Willow Magic is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. If not too far out of his ground turning for home, he should take a power of beating.

Mrs Hotline from the Alan Greeff stable takes her place in Race 6. She finished 1.1 lengths behind Demigod last time.
She is 1,5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She jumps from pole position and if getting away to a clean start, she may be the one to beat.
Jockeys JP vander Merwe and Wayne Agrella will not be riding today.
