She was well supported to win on debut last time and the form of the winner has been franked. WILDCATTING (IRE) Finished 6th at Toulouse over 2000m on 30 September in a Maiden. She had a decent enough debut run over further and the drop in trip could prove ideal. XITIDE (FR) Came home 7th at Deauville over 1300m on 19 October in a Conditions race. That was not a bad debut effort and this well-bred filly will enjoy the longer distance. LA PEPA (FR) In good form and finished 3rd at Pau over 1400m on 21 October in a Maiden.

Fairview Polytrack, 11.11.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R92.000, 12:15GMT+2
Race Summary: EL COHETE makes her local debut trying the Polytrack. She is the one to beat. TAKEACHANCEONME disappointed on local debut but is capable of better and should make the frame. AMERICAN GEM and AMONG THE WILLOWS are both threatening a first success and must be respected. CERTAINLYDIFFERENT is capable of improvement and has a place chance.
Selections: #7 El Cohete, #3 American Gem, #5 Among The Willows, #2 Takeachanceonme
Fairview Polytrack, 11.11.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R103.600, 12:50GMT+2
Race Summary: A very open looking race. IMAGINABLE is probably better over a shorter distance but is also quite capable of beating these rivals. TRIPPING THUNDER does not always show his best but is capable of scoring. JOKER MAN has not won a race for some time, but jockey Richard Fourie sticks with him so he must be respected. Stable companion AUGUSTA ROSSO is not reliable but is also clearly in with a chance. Another Greeff runner COASTAL PATH is in good form but this is a tougher task. DYNALLEY struggled last time out but is capable of making all over this course and distance.
Selections: #6 Imaginable, #2 Joker Man, #3 Augusta Rosso, #4 Dynalley
Fairview Polytrack, 11.11.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R92.000, 13:25GMT+2
Race Summary: SCOTT’S BAR was only run out of it very late on local debut. He clearly has no issues with the Polytrack and can go one better. LADY OF FATE is not reliable but has a place chance. RUSSIAN FORT did not show much on local debut but will prefer this distance. COCO BEACH steps up in distance and could be a threat. FREESTYLE DANCE was seen to be finishing off her race well last time out and can be competitive. DIGITAL WARFARE is improving and is another to be considered.
Selections: #7 Scott’s Bar, #4 Freestyle Dance, #3 Coco Beach, #8 Digital Warfare
Fairview Polytrack, 11.11.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R105.300, 14:00GMT+2
Race Summary: KLEINZEE has stretched her unbeaten streak on the Polytrack to 7 and can add another win to that tally. She does try further this time and meets some talented rivals. DON’T CRY FOR ME was unplaced in his attempt at the Algoa Cup but did run well before that and can be a real test this distance. THE MIKADO has twice been beaten by another Alan Greeff trained runner Masterofthebaroque and is threatening to score. This course and distance suits him. HOME REEF is consistent and can contest the finish yet again. INTUITIVE SPIRIT needs to do more to score but might play a minor role.
Selections: #6 Kleinzee, #2 Don’T Cry For Me, #5 The Mikado, #3 Home Reef
Fairview Polytrack, 11.11.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R105.000, 14:35GMT+2
Race Summary: PRETTY AWESOME looked an unlucky loser last time out. This appears a tougher task but she may well be up to it. SABRAGE remains in very good form but does have to give weight to most of his rivals. POLICY OF TRUTH is a dangerous front-runner and could make all the running if given a soft lead. WARHAWK BOMBER struggled in better races than this recently and could be the surprise package of the race. VILA VICOSA is in good form and should be included in all bets. HOODWINKED and LAGUNA VERDE both have a place chance.
Selections: #7 Pretty Awesome, #1 Sabrage, #2 Policy Of Truth, #5 Vila Vicosa
Fairview Polytrack, 11.11.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R92.000, 15:10GMT+2
Race Summary: REAL WAR remains in good shape and deserves a winning turn. Stable companion WHATEVER NEXT is on a long losing run but is quite capable of beating these rivals. DIAMOND MAKER is consistent and clearly not out of it. FLYING SKITT is improving and could be better than rated. IN THE BAG did not show his best on local debut. He returns from a break but could surprise for jockey Craig Zackey. CHARLIE MALONE and ALESIAN BEAU are not easy rides but are capable of playing minor roles.
Selections: #7 Real War, #1 Diamond Maker, #3 Whatever Next, #8 Charlie Malone
Fairview Polytrack, 11.11.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1300m, Poly, R90.000, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: SAY A PRAYER proved just in need of her last run. She is not well drawn but can beat these rivals with luck in running. POWEROFPEACE is clearly better than her last run suggests and would not be a surprise winner. MIDNIGHT MUSIC also did not show her best last time out but is capable of making the frame. REMIND ME OF YOU will strip fitter this time and could be a threat. TOKYO PRINCESS does battle to finish off but can earn some more money. LOVELY DANCER liked it back on the grass last time out and might be competitive in this line-up.
Selections: #10 Say A Prayer, #4 Powerofpeace, #6 Midnight Music, #7 Remind Me Of You
Fairview Polytrack, 11.11.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1300m, Poly, R90.000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: VIVO PER LEI has been very consistent of late. She makes the trip from the Western Cape and could prove hard to beat if as good on the Polytrack. JEWEL MULE is not well drawn but she is improving and can fight out the finish once again. MARKETA gets a good draw and can be competitive this time around. PRINCESS OF AJIAAL is not reliable but does have a place chance. MY AMI BEACH is unreliable but did win her penultimate start and cannot be ruled out from earning some money.
Selections: #5 Vivo Per Lei, #10 Jewel Mule, #2 Marketa, #3 Princess Of Ajiaal
Best Win: #7 SCOTT’S BAR
Best Value Bet: #7 REAL WAR
Best Longshot: #7 REAL WAR

Race Summary: PRETTY AWESOME looked an unlucky loser last time out. This appears a tougher task but she may well be up to it. SABRAGE remains in very good form but does have to give weight to most of his rivals. POLICY OF TRUTH is a dangerous front-runner and could make all the running if given a soft lead. WARHAWK BOMBER struggled in better races than this recently and could be the surprise package of the race. VILA VICOSA is in good form and should be included in all bets. HOODWINKED and LAGUNA VERDE both have a place chance.
Selections: #7 Pretty Awesome, #1 Sabrage, #2 Policy Of Truth, #5 Vila Vicosa
Fairview Polytrack, 11.11.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R92.000, 15:10GMT+2
Race Summary: REAL WAR remains in good shape and deserves a winning turn. Stable companion WHATEVER NEXT is on a long losing run but is quite capable of beating these rivals. DIAMOND MAKER is consistent and clearly not out of it. FLYING SKITT is improving and could be better than rated. IN THE BAG did not show his best on local debut. He returns from a break but could surprise for jockey Craig Zackey. CHARLIE MALONE and ALESIAN BEAU are not easy rides but are capable of playing minor roles.
Selections: #7 Real War, #1 Diamond Maker, #3 Whatever Next, #8 Charlie Malone
Fairview Polytrack, 11.11.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1300m, Poly, R90.000, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: SAY A PRAYER proved just in need of her last run. She is not well drawn but can beat these rivals with luck in running. POWEROFPEACE is clearly better than her last run suggests and would not be a surprise winner. MIDNIGHT MUSIC also did not show her best last time out but is capable of making the frame. REMIND ME OF YOU will strip fitter this time and could be a threat. TOKYO PRINCESS does battle to finish off but can earn some more money. LOVELY DANCER liked it back on the grass last time out and might be competitive in this line-up.
Selections: #10 Say A Prayer, #4 Powerofpeace, #6 Midnight Music, #7 Remind Me Of You
Fairview Polytrack, 11.11.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1300m, Poly, R90.000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: VIVO PER LEI has been very consistent of late. She makes the trip from the Western Cape and could prove hard to beat if as good on the Polytrack. JEWEL MULE is not well drawn but she is improving and can fight out the finish once again. MARKETA gets a good draw and can be competitive this time around. PRINCESS OF AJIAAL is not reliable but does have a place chance. MY AMI BEACH is unreliable but did win her penultimate start and cannot be ruled out from earning some money.
Selections: #5 Vivo Per Lei, #10 Jewel Mule, #2 Marketa, #3 Princess Of Ajiaal
Best Win: #7 SCOTT’S BAR
Best Value Bet: #7 REAL WAR

Sha Tin Track Spy: Sunday, 8 November

Video Stars
Race 5 – 8 LUCKY YEAR
Trapped wide from the 600m last start, he covered extra ground and was entitled to weaken in the straight, eventually beaten by 7.5 lengths over 1800m. In addition, the trip may have been beyond his best, and that performance is better than it appears on paper.
The drop back to 1600m should suit and, with a more economical run in transit, he could finally break through.
Race 8 – 6 ENSUED
He showed little first-up two weeks ago, carrying 135lb and settling off the speed throughout. However, his previous two starts carried plenty of merit, finishing a solid fourth in a Group 3 feature before finding one too good at the highest level two starts ago.
The drop in weight and rise in distance are both positives, and with added fitness second-up, he looks capable of causing an upset.
Sectional Stars
Race 3 – 11 KING’S ARROW
He comes off an improved first-up effort over this track and distance 28 days ago, reeling off the third-fastest final sectional to finish fifth behind the in-form AMOUR WAR EAGLE. Remaining well weighted in this week’s wide-open contest, he looks a strong chance of finishing in the top three.
Race 6 – 12 MIGHTY FIGHTER
After a fast-finishing sixth on his seasonal debut, he showed further improvement last start, charging home strongly to finish third in a slowly run race over this distance. Had he not been crowded near the 500m, he may well have gone even closer, having been beaten by only half a length.
7 November – Selangor Preview by Mark Lydeamore
RACE 4
HUDDL HOBART (1) has done little wrong in two Malaysian outings to date and finished runner up to a potentially smart type in Rapid Strike here two weeks ago. The former South Aussie gets his chance to shed the maiden tag. One galloper worth watching first-up is PERFECT INVINCIBLE (3), another former Australian which looked quite sharp winning a trial here Tuesday week ago.
RACE 5
LOYALTY BANKER’S (1) is also on the verge of breaking through and should atone for his head defeat last start. PACIFIC SPLASH (8), a beaten favorite on local debut, should not be dismissed either and sis well served by the barrier draw. From the recent trials, FAST FAMOUS (6) and IT’S DA BOMB (7) have shown ability and are worth throwing in to the exotics.
RACE 7
One galloper which deserves a win is THUNDER LOTUS (6), runner up in his past two runs and profiles well to break the Malaysian tag on the distance drop. Connections have switched back to a senior jockey to ride the five-year-old which is looking to break the 17-month winning drought also.
RACE 8
The G3 Sports Toto Supreme Challenge Cup highlights the 13-race card and an enthralling clash is expected amongst the high graders. CHOICE IS MINE (7) has won three from five in the country and seems to thrive on the big space between runs. Returned to winning form in a Combined Class 2/3 on September 26 and deserves a feature win. BANKER’S TWO SIX (1) will be resuming from a successful campaign and appeared on track fitness wise with a dashing trial win on Tuesday. ANJOU CROWN (8) ran home powerfully in that same trial and is also a definite winning chance.
RACE 9
HAPPY LEGEND (5) has undergone the complete makeover with a change of ownership, trainer and change of name. Formerly known as One Alakazam, the four-year-old returns to original trainer Frank Maynard and looks a chance to atone for his narrow defeat in a Benchmark 45 contest at Ipoh last month. MILITARY AWARD (7), despite not scoring in the grade previously, has shown rapid improvement recently and could provide the value.
RACE 10
Promising galloper, STRATEGISE (9) has overcome all obstacles during his progress through the grades and will be attempting to keep his unbeaten record intact against the Class 2 performers. The gelding produced a devastating turn of speed to blouse his rivals in a Max Two Stakes event here two weeks ago and is on target to go four on the bounce. IRISH GOODBYE (1) will resume, is a first up winner previously and remains unbeaten in four starts over the 1400m trip. The gelding is proven at this level and appears to be the main danger.
RACE 12
LEGEND SIXTY-THREE (1) may be testing the patience of his followers but has the hoof on the till with current leading jockey, SU Lim returning to the saddle. The five-year-old has improved vastly this campaign and draws perfectly for a winning return. IRON SAMURAI (2) and SHOW ALL SIXTY-ONE (3) are both eight-year-olds but continue to race competitively at this level and are worthy trifecta chances.
Peter Poised For TAB Turffontein Feature Double
Tony Peter has the ammunition to dominate Sunday’s 10-race TAB Turffontein Standside programme, with the in-form trainer strongly represented across the card and potentially poised to land a feature-race double among four possible winners for his stable.
Three features headline the meeting, including the Grade 3 Victory Moon Stakes, a significant 1800m trial for the Grade 1 Betway Summer Cup on 28 November. For several contenders, this could represent their final opportunity to secure a place in the R6-million showpiece.
The supporting attractions are two Listed contests for fillies and mares, the National Colour Stakes and Summer Pudding Handicap, named in honour of former champions of South African racing. However, Main Defender, Peter’s principal hope in the Victory Moon Stakes (Race 7), is not a Summer Cup candidate and could have been specifically targeted at this Grade 3 prize. Runner-up in the 2024 renewal, the six-year-old has a strong chance of going one better this time under reigning Champion Jockey Craig Zackey.
The son of Pathfork endured a wide draw in gate No 11 of 13 when finishing eighth behind Gladiatorian in last month’s Grade 2 Joburg Spring Challenge. That was his first outing following a 10-week break after finishing third in the Grade 1 Champions Cup over 1800m at the end of last season. He should strip considerably fitter for that comeback outing and need only reproduce something approaching his Champions Cup performance to end a 589-day winless drought and register an 11th career victory. He is a compelling betting proposition.
Earlier, stablemate Taxi To The Moon, last season’s Grade 2 Golden Horse Sprint winner, is weighted to make a successful return in Race 4 over 1160m and looks poised to provide Peter and Richard Fourie with the first leg of a possible race-to-race double.
A nine-time winner from 24 starts, the accomplished speedster won his only previous engagement with Fourie aboard over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Greyville. Although his record suggests that the shorter trip is his optimum, he is a two-time winner over TAB Turffontein’s 1160m so if ready to fire after a 15-week absence, he will be hard to hold out.
Fourie partners Peter-trained Precocious in the National Colour Stakes (Race 5), where the daughter of Ideal World looks particularly hard to oppose over 1000m.
She has thrived since joining the Highveld stable, winning five of eight starts for Peter, including both previous course-and-distance appearances. While Fourie takes the reins on the four-year-old filly for the first time, her natural early speed should make his task relatively straightforward. She has the gate speed to secure a favourable position before unleashing a potent turn of foot, demonstrated last time when conceding weight and giving a beating to male opposition over 1200m. The drop back to 1000m holds no fears, and with a top-class jockey in the irons, she has the credentials to add another feature success to Peter’s growing tally.
The Summer Pudding Handicap (Race 6), over 1600m, presents a different challenge, with progressive Reece’s Wish looking capable of extending the winning sequence for the in-form Candice and Tammy Dawson stable. The lightly raced daughter of Vercingetorix took time to find her feet but is now making rapid progress through the ranks, having won both starts this season. She passed her stiffest test last time, stepping up in class off a career-high mark to demolish male opposition over 1600m on the Inside track.
A six-point penalty for that emphatic success is unlikely to halt her momentum, even in Listed company. Ideally drawn in gate No 1 and reunited with this season’s leading jockey, Keagan de Melo, she looks well equipped to handle the challenge after a 12-week break.
Peter could yet have the final say in the closing stages, with Blizzard Snow among five stable representatives capable of completing a memorable afternoon for the yard in Race 10 over 1160m.

Greeff can clean up once again
Trainer Alan Greeff continues to produce a stream of winners at Fairview every week, and he holds a very decent hand yet again on Friday.
Golden Palm in Race 2, Powder Day in Race 3 and US Ranger in Race 4 all look hard to beat.
Golden Palm is on a recovery mission after some costly defeats this year. The Master Of My Fate filly won five of her first six starts, but it has been just over a year since her last victory, which came on 24 October 2025.
The four-year-old filly clearly did not enjoy the Polytrack in her last two starts. Although she was not beaten far on either occasion, she is clearly better than those performances suggest. Jockey Richard Fourie has stuck with her, and it is worth noting that Greeff has four of the six carded runners.
The Real Gone Kid filly Powder Day drifted in the betting on debut but still ran a cracker when finishing runner-up behind the consistent Green Point. That was on the Polytrack, and she did good work in the closing stages. Trying the grass this time, she can go one place better.
US Ranger has not always shown his best side, but he has won four of his seven starts so far. Returning from a break during which he was gelded, he was an impressive winner over 1000m on the Polytrack.
The operation has clearly worked a treat. Although he was slowly away, he made up ground quickly and drew right away at the finish, beating the speedy filly Danish Dynamite.
He takes on even tougher rivals this time around, including his stable companion, the 13-time winner Fairy Knight. He will also need to fend off a likely late challenge from Astronomical Boy. That Dean Smith-trained rival quickened nicely when winning over this course and distance in his penultimate start, and his latest run on the Polytrack can safely be ignored.
Another runner in the race who could surprise after disappointing twice on the Polytrack is Mount Pilatus. He is talented and at his best over this distance.

Habib, Hollywood hold Highveld Aces
Calvin Habib and Champion Owners Hollywood Racing could provide bettors with plenty to cheer on Thursday 5 November when an eight-race programme unfolds at TAB Turffontein on the Inside track, where progressive runners and promising handicap debutants offer several attractive betting angles.
Habib has a chance to strike twice in quick succession, with Brett Webber-trained Naretoi a leading contender in Race 4 before the in-form rider partners another improving prospect, Clinton Binda inmate Dreadnought, in the following event.
Naretoi, a five-year-old grey by Danon Platina, has remained admirably consistent since winning over 1800m four starts ago. Despite a five-point rise in his rating, he has finished second, third and second again in subsequent appearances, underlining his competitiveness off the revised mark.
He was particularly game last time over 2400m on the Standside track, racing prominently throughout and staying on under pressure to finish a close-up second. A further two-point penalty is an added complication, and he must now negotiate another 200m, but neither represents an insurmountable obstacle given his recent form. Habib, who takes the reins for the first time, will be hoping to coax further improvement from the gelding, who should again be competitive despite carrying 60kg in a field that lacks obvious depth.
The prospect of a quick race-to-race double becomes more compelling with Dreadnought, whose authoritative maiden victory at TAB Vaal four weeks ago suggests he could be better than his opening handicap mark of 86.
The progressive Gimmethegreenlight colt won over the same distance with enough authority to suggest that his handicap debut could prove a favourable starting point. Still maturing and highly regarded, Binda’s charge has the added advantages of a favourable gate 1 draw and Habib maintaining the partnership. Those factors strengthen the case for a bold showing for Hollywood.
The champion owners have another promising prospect to unleash in Race 6, where Blunderbore makes his handicap debut over 1450m for Mike & Matthew de Kock.
The three-year-old son of Malmoos has improved with each outing, progressing from a debut third over 1200m to a second over this course and distance before producing an emphatic breakthrough victory last time. His 5.10-length success was all the more impressive given that he overcame the widest draw by surging to the front and dictating matters before leaving his rivals with no answer.
Blunderbore now faces a sterner examination from gate 9, but his upward trajectory is difficult to ignore. With just 53kg to shoulder, Jeffrey Syster is likely to adopt similar positive tactics, and if the colt can reproduce the early speed and authority of his latest performance, he could prove difficult to reel in.
