Kleinzee to extend winning streak at TAB Fairview

It is back to the Polytrack at TAB Fairview on Wednesday for an eight-race card and trainer Alan Greeff and his jockey Richard Fourie look all set for a number of winners.

They have chances in some of the earlier races, but it is Race 4 over 2000m where things could start heating up for them. They combine with the five-year-old mare Kleinzee.

She has been a revelation since joining Greeff and switching to the Polytrack, winning her last seven starts.

The Gimmethegreenlight mare arrived at the Greeff yard as a two-time winner from 11 starts and made her local debut in March with a merit rating of 73. From a tricky No 7 draw, she was dropped off the early pace but quickened nicely late to win by 0.25 lengths under Xolane Ndhlovu at odds of 9-2 over 1600m.

Fourie was aboard her for her second local start and had to work very hard to get her home by a head over 1400m. Another win followed over the same distance, and then her next four victories came over 1600m, with Fourie aboard for three of them, including her latest start.

This will be her first attempt at 2000m, but she has won over 1600m full of running, and there is every reason to suggest the extra distance will not be a problem.

In Race 5, a MR 80 Handicap over 1600m, Pretty Awesome will represent the pair.

This Gimmethegreenlight filly is still learning about the game. She was an impressive debut winner in May but has shown signs of inexperience in her last three starts.

A wide draw last time out pretty much forced Fourie to drop her out at the back and hope to get lucky in the straight. That did not work out, and although she finished fifth, she was less than a length behind the winner.

This distance clearly suits, and it will be interesting to see how Fourie handles a tricky draw of seven.
