South Africa Horse Racing Previews: FAIRVIEW@2023.06.23

Fairview, 23.06.2023, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R72.000, 11:40GMT+2

Race Summary: AADEHYA has finished 3rd in all of his 3 starts but has been getting closer with each outing, so could now get it right. Well-related THE LADY LOVE is likely to improve and should be in the firing line, having also finished 3rd on her debut over track and trip. ABOUND and GUERRA could get into the picture, while newcomer BERENIKE is another to note.

Selections:

#1 Aadehya, #7 The Lady Love, #2 Abound, #4 Guerra

Fairview, 23.06.2023, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R70.000, 12:10GMT+2

Race Summary: Several with chances. MARI MARIE has gone close in both starts over this trip on the Poly recently, so wouldn’t be winning out of turn switched back to the turf now. PRINCIPESSA MIA is held by that rival on the form of their meeting behind Ygritte but has more scope for improvement and could turn the tables. MEDITERANEANGODDES was caught on the line over 1000m in her last start and will make her presence felt if as effective going an extra 200m. Returning LADY CHARTOUCHE, HUNDREDFIFTHAVENUE in her peak outing and MAGENTA, after an improved last start, have claims too.

Selections:

#3 Principessa Mia, #1 Mari Marie, #6 Mediteraneangoddes, #2 Lady Chartouche

Fairview, 23.06.2023, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R70.000, 12:40GMT+2

Race Summary: CAPITAINE MAURICE lost his way in Cape Town before relocating but, judged on his best form, could be worth another chance on his local/stable debut. MIRACULOUS MAN has finished 2nd on both Poly and turf over 1000m recently, so shouldn’t be too long in winning. SIRNIHAALLONGSWORD, WESTERN JACK and SWISS WALT ought to make their presence felt too after improved last starts. BENNELONG POINT showed enough in the Western Cape to warrant consideration on his local introduction too.

Selections:

#1 Capitaine Maurice, #2 Miraculous Man, #4 Sirnihaallongsword, #5 Western Jack

Fairview, 23.06.2023, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R70.000, 13:10GMT+2

Race Summary: LAW COURT has improved to finish 2nd in both starts on the Poly with blinkers fitted and is likely to break through switching to the turf now. US OPEN and FLORIDA HILLS warrant respect on their local/stable debuts and are capable of posing a threat, so too are TUNE AGAIN and BELLE’S FIRST WAVE. Both RED CENTRE and RACINANTE are not without a chance either.

Selections:

#1 Law Court, #6 Red Centre, #5 Florida Hills, #7 Racinante

Fairview, 23.06.2023, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R70.000, 13:50GMT+2

Race Summary: Tricky. Youngster PISCES made improvement when staying on from a handy position to finish a close-up 3rd over 1300m on the Poly and could have more to offer going this distance back on the turf. ELUSIVE JUSTICE is likely to improve too after a pleasing local introduction and should be involved. AMERICAN DAZZLER, OPENING CEREMONY and RAGSAA all carry the same silks and are capable of getting into the picture.

Selections:

#9 Pisces, #1 Elusive Justice, #4 Opening Ceremony, #3 American Dazzler

Fairview, 23.06.2023, Race 6, Gallops, 2700m, Turf, R100.000, 14:25GMT+2

Race Summary: JAEGER MOON is distance suited and should play a leading role. HEATHCLIFF, however, gets 4kg from that rival so could have his measure trying this trip for the first time. FIRST STREET and IDEAL ANGEL return from a break but are favourably treated by the conditions of the race so ought to make their presence felt. AMERICAN LANDING has no stamina doubts and should be competitive too. ZATARA MAGIC, LORD NELSON and GREAT AFFAIR can also get involved.

Selections:

#2 Heathcliff, #1 Jaeger Moon, #4 Ideal Angel, #3 First Street

Fairview, 23.06.2023, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R95.000, 15:00GMT+2

Race Summary: AND WE DANCED and SANTA THERESE set the standard and are likely to fight it out. BELLE OF BELIZE is on the up and capable of posing a threat, while MONASHADA will be better suited to this trip and is capable of staking a claim too. WISHFUL GIRL LINN and HAZY CRAZY NIGHT complete the shortlist.

Selections:

#1 And We Danced, #2 Santa Therese, #3 Belle Of Belize, #4 Monashada

Fairview, 23.06.2023, Race 8, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R73.000, 15:40GMT+2

Race Summary: Wide open. MY AMI BEACH did not go unnoticed in her first attempt at 1600m last time and must be respected. DAME OF FLAMES will be better suited to this trip and can get into the picture. OPERA SWING and STATE OF MIND are in good form and likely to be competitive once more, while SAINT ANASTASIA ought to make her presence felt if confirming the improvement of her last start.

Selections:

#6 State Of Mind, #12 Angelsea, #1 Dame Of Flames, #2 My Ami Beach

Fairview, 23.06.2023, Race 9, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R83.000, 16:15GMT+2

Race Summary: Many with chances. ANGEL DEB’S has gone up in the ratings but maintained her form and is likely to have a say again despite top weight of 61.5kg. COOL WINTER made an encouraging local debut and should go well again with any improvement. QUEEN’S WOOD is also capable of a lot better than he showed on his local/stable debut last time. Youngsters QUESTOR and THE WINTER LAKE are above average and capable of acquitting themselves competitively too. DAWN OF A NEW ERA and KUZNETSOV are not making up the numbers either and could make their presence felt too.

Selections:

#7 The Winter Lake, #6 Questor, #5 Dawn Of A New Era, #1 Angel Deb’s

Best Win: #9 PISCES

Best Value Bet:

Best Longshot: #7 THE WINTER LAKE
