Fourie back at Fairview, Countess best in the Cape

Richard Fourie is back in action at Fairview today with racing taking place on the Polytrack.

Fourie was away last week, and trainer Alan Greeff struggled, but they will be back in the winners' box soon enough.

Ironically though, it does appear that Fourie's best ride will be Oliver Twist for trainer Gavin Smith in Race 2, a Maiden Plate over 1600m.

This Ideal World colt has improved with each run and was also a runner-up under Fourie twice in a row.

He was only run out of it late by Karoo Gold last time out over this course and distance last month. That was his first run on the Polytrack and he will have learned from that experience.
