South Africa Horse Racing Previews: FAIRVIEW@2023.03.03
Fairview, 03.03.2023, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R65.000, 12:10GMT+2
Race Summary: An interesting start to the day. FIRE GLOW was scratched from her intended start recently. She showed promise on debut and with improvement expected could be the one to beat. AMAZING COLOURS was well beaten on debut but could be smarter this time. Trainer Alan Greeff has had a disappointing juvenile campaign so far but BACK FOR MORE represents him and she could be smart enough to win on debut. Juveniles trained by Cliffie Miller sometimes need a run or two to get to their best but watch the betting on EXCLUSIVELY YOURS and STAGE PLAY. Keep an eye on the betting on FIRST MINISTER and ROSA ROSSA as well.
Selections:
#6 Fire Glow, #2 Back For More, #1 Amazing Colours, #7 First Minister
Fairview, 03.03.2023, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R65.000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: A maiden handicap and any type of result is likely. YAYA MARIA has been consistent and deserves a win but it does look a very competitive race. KILMONIVAIG has improved of late and could go closer this time. LOVIN YOU BABY has been hit or miss so far but is also not out of it. TIDE IS HIGH has been a bitter disappointment in her last two starts. COFFEE IN SEATTLE could improve making her local debut. MAGENTA is in good form and should run another decent race. LITTLE MISS KJ is holding form and also has a winning chance. CELTIC VIXEN was not beaten far on debut and could make vast improvement.
Selections:
#1 Yaya Maria, #7 Magenta, #8 Little Miss Kj, #13 Celtic Vixen
Fairview, 03.03.2023, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R67.000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: A big field handicap and we will need to go as wide as possible in the exotics. BURNING MOON was full of running to win her latest start and it will not be a surprise were she to follow up. LADY MISTICO makes her local debut and could improve. ANGEL DEB’S is a bit unreliable but is not out of it on her best form. BUTTERCUP is holding form and has a place chance. RAINBOW THIEF showed promise early in her career but has lost her way lately. FOR ALL WE KNOW is holding form and should contest the finish. MADAME VICKI was not disgraced on local debut and could go one better.
Selections:
#6 Burning Moon, #9 Madame Vicki, #10 Pomodoro Magic, #2 Angel Deb’s
Fairview, 03.03.2023, Race 4, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R63.000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: BONNAROO has been slowly away in her last few starts and could do a lot better making her local debut for a trainer who usually gets them to improve. I LIKE IT HOT should be a danger this time. She looked just in need of her local debut and is distance suited. SEISMIC EVENT could pop up in a place. GREAT MELODY has been unreliable of late but could contest the finish. MISS ROSE shows pace and could earn some money. ROGER THE DODGER is better than he has shown locally and could be ready to show his best side. ISN’T IT BLISS shows pace and might play a minor role.
Selections:
#2 Bonnaroo, #1 I Like It Hot, #4 Great Melody, #3 Seismic Event
Fairview, 03.03.2023, Race 5, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R63.000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: MODERN MAGICIAN has been a disappointment in that he only has one win to his name. He has done more than enough at times to suggest more wins are in the tank. BETHEL is better than the last run would suggest and deserves respect. AVERNI WARRIOR is holding form and has a winning chance. PICTURE THE MOMENT has some fair recent form and should contest the finish once again. HIGH LEGISLATION shows pace and could finish in the money.
Selections:
#1 Modern Magician, #3 Arverni Warrior, #10 Picture The Moment, #2 Bethel
Fairview, 03.03.2023, Race 6, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R90.000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: CRUISE CONTROL has been very good when in the mood and does appear at his very best over this course and distance. CLIFF TOP has a 2-2 record with rival CRUISE CONTROL. CLIFF TOP is clearly back to his best with some very nice wins recently and should fight out the finish once again. STRANGER DANGER is speedy and is at his very best over this track and trip. He could need this run returning after a break. WHAT A WINNER is in very good form but this does look a tough task. VEGAS GOLD is up in class after a fair recent win.
Selections:
#1 Cruise Control, #3 Cliff Top, #4 Stranger Danger, #6 What A Winner
Fairview, 03.03.2023, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R200.000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: An interesting race. DOUBLE DESTINY showed what she is capable of with a solid last win. Now that she has regained her winning form she looks likely to follow up. EKORIA was a class juvenile. She has not been as good this season but could be ready to show her best side. The same could be said of CHERE FOR ME. Trainer Justin Snaith raids with STRAWBERRY LIGHT and she must not be dismissed away lightly. RIMAAH was impressive on local debut but now tackles tougher. HAZY CRAZY NIGHT should be doing her best work at the finish.
Selections:
#3 Double Destiny, #1 Ekoria, #7 Strawberry Light, #2 Chere For Me
Fairview, 03.03.2023, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R80.000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: PERFECTION was caught out of his ground last time out. He did well to get as close as he did to stable companion Khaya’s Hope. That winner was impressive again last week and PERFECTION, who is improving, can go one better this time. The last run of MLABENI can clearly be dismissed and he was very consistent before that. WAITING FOR SUMMER returned to his best with a good last win and has to be given respect once again. ATKINSON GRIMSHAW is clearly better than his last run and has a place chance. SECRET IS OURS won well last time out but this is a stronger race.
Selections:
#6 Perfection, #4 Waiting For Summer, #7 Secret Is Ours, #1 Mhlabeni
Fairview, 03.03.2023, Race 9, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R65.500, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: A tough race to end on as usual. GUNSMOKE could be good enough to win on Fairview debut after a change of trainer. ADMIRALS CHANCE and IVALO’S PRINCE are unreliable types but are both capable of winning a race like this. EQUESTRIANAFFAIR did well to win on local debut and could have more to come. TRAVEL MASTER is in good heart and has a winning chance. FLINDERS RANGE was caught out of his ground last time out and did well to get as close as he was at the finish. Watch the betting on ONE SHOT WONDER making a local debut after a change of trainer.
Selections:
#11 Gunsmoke, #6 Travel Master, #8 Flinders Range, #10 Captain Morne
Best Win: #6 PERFECTION
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #11 GUNSMOKE
