Flichity By Farr can go well
THE Alyson Wright-trained Flichity By Farr will be out to impress the Vodacom Durban July final field panelists when running in the Track and Ball Oaks over 2400m at Scottsville on Saturday.
Assistant trainer Kevin Wright said the three-year-old Go Deputy filly was fit and well and added, “She will need a big run to get in to the July.”
A case can be made for her to qualify as things stand as she was staying on strongly when a 1,2 length second in the Grade 2 SA Oaks at Turffontein and the winner of that race, Secret Potion, was high up on the last July log.

Two other points in Flichity by Farr’s favour is that she is by Go Deputy, so will be improving consistently, and she has run well at Scottsville before. She has also drawn well in six. Piere Strydom will be aboard, another plus.
Flichity By Farr made her debut at Scottsville over 1200m and then in September last year made her second appearance at the Pietermaritzburg venue over 1400m in a three-year-old handicap. She gave Fiorella 3kg that day and was beaten just one length after producing a flying finish.
Fiorella has since booked her place in the July by winning the Grade 2 Daisy Fillies Guineas and finishing second in the Grade 1 Woolavington 2000.
Flichity By Farr is currently a 125/1 shot for the July. Wright concluded, “The distance is absolutely ideal and she has improved since the Oaks.”
