IN-FORM Mike Bass should have an exciting day at Kenilworth on Saturday with Pocket Power and River Jetez lining up in feature races, and he looks to have another ace up his sleeve on Friday at Fairview.
He sends out promising four-year-old filly Temair, who participates in the Lady’s Bracelet (Listed) over 1600m, and looks the part.
Temair has been runner-up in five of her last seven outings and it has been 11 months since she last tasted victory. But Temair has faced some useful opposition in the past year.
Over 1400m, she finished second to Mother Russia twice in a row and followed up with another good second to Love Is In The Air over 1600m.
More recently, she was a good second to Sparkling Gem - and if that does not tempt one’s taste buds nothing will.
She takes on much weaker opposition and from a good draw, should win with ease.
Bass said: "She left early Wednesday morning and if she has a good journey, she will be in with a big shout. She is looking well and her work has been good.’’
Another Cape visitor, Ladonna, can pick up the pieces should Temair not perform to her true ability.
She has been runner-up in her last three starts back home and is clearly worthy of her fourth career win. Of the locals, Tuvana Silva looks best and is sure to earn a decent enough prize.
Local hopeful Hear The Drums will be having his preparatory run for the Cape Flying Championship at the fixture. He shoulders 64kg, which is the type of weight he has become accustomed to carrying, and looks to have his opposition stone cold at the weights.
So the Jackpot at Fairview looks relatively easy with two bankers - Temair and Hear The Drums.
