Greeff looks the man to follow

- Nicci Garner

Trainer Alan Greeff looks the trainer to follow at Fairview today when racing will be held on the Polytrack.

He has strong chances in a number of races at a tricky race meeting and could drive home with four winner's cheques in his pocket.

He could open the meeting with a celebratio­n because Mambo Tango looks likely to finally get his first win on the board in Race 1 over 1400m. Others to consider are Big Three, Irish Brave, One Man Band, who will improve on a fair debut, and Ricketee.

Race 2 is a FM 60 Handicap over 1200m and Greefftrai­ned Stopthinki­ngofme could follow up on her win over 1000m last time out. That was her first run since relocating from the Western Cape and she has obviously relished her new environmen­t. She will be ridden by Teaque Gould, with Aldo Domeyer - who seems to be the stable's first-choice rider - on stablemate Pina, so punters should not ignore the hint.

However, Stopthinki­ngofme will start at nice Eachway odds. Silva Key, Meritocrac­y and Mock Mambo are others who could fight out the finish.

Greeff's Burning Mist looks the right one in Race 3 over 1200m and this Trippi filly is the stable elect with Domeyer in the saddle. Another possible Greeff winner is five-year-old mare Coastal Spell, in Race 8.
