Race Summary: ENCHANTED SKY was heavily supported to win on local debut and was not disgraced when fourth, She has changed trainers and from a good draw and trying the Polytrack she could pack too much punch for the modest rivals. CAPTIVATE is not an easy ride and was a disappointment last time out. She does, however, look a danger in this line-up. ROYAL VENUS needs to do more to win but could contest the finish. JUST FOREVER has been a disappointment but can place. TUNE AGAIN showed vast improvement last time out.

#1 Enchanted Sky, #6 Captivate, #8 Rain Bird, #7 Royal Venus

Race Summary: MALDANO showed vast improvement last time out and with further improvement expected can beat some well tried rivals. WOLFRAM was a bit of a disappointment last time out but will be right there at the finish over this course and distance.

Race Summary: AND WE DANCED ran very well in two Polytrack Challenge races and is back against her own sex. She could prove better than these rivals. DEFINITELY MAYBE is unreliable but has won four races for this trainer and can contest the finish again. Stable companions PINNACLE and EASY LIVING have been fair of late but does need to more at these weights. CHRONICLESOFNANIA liked being back on the turf last time out and has a place chance on the Polytrack. AERIAL VIEW is holding her form well and could earn some more money. LET IT SNOW needed her local debut but should do better on this surface.

Fairview Polytrack, 24.11.2023, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R88.000, 14:35GMT+2
Race Summary: RED WILLIAM showed he is just as good on the turf as on the Polytrack with a good win last time out. The handicapper hit him with a 7-point penalty. He may well follow up but is very badly drawn. SEQUOIA has been good on this surface of late and is capable of winning off current mark. DAWN OF A NEW ERA has been very consistent and another big run can be expected. JASPERO broke a long losing run by winning on the turf last time out. He has been consistent on this surface and is not out of it. EUPHORIC has been consistent of late and holds a winning chance.
Selections:
#1 Red William, #2 Sequoia, #11 Euphoric, #6 Dawn Of A New Era

Race Summary: A very competitive handicap. TUSCAN GOLD proved in need of his local debut but should fight out the finish yet again. CATAIN MORISCO is unreliable but is also in with a winning chance. LIGHT THAT LOOSE has not been beaten by far in recent runs and could finish in the money. TRANSACT is well drawn and should do better than a modest last run. COOL WINTER showed us what he is capable of with a good win last time out and can follow up. GREAT MELODY tackles stronger but could earn. WHATEVER NEXT is down in class and could be the surprise package.
Selections:
#10 Tuscan Gold, #4 Transact, #6 Cool Winter, #8 Giacomo Puccini
Fairview Polytrack, 24.11.2023, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R78.000, 15:45GMT+2
Race Summary: TIMBAVATI RIVER has been much improved of late and from a good draw can follow up on a good last win. COASTAL PATH is in good form and will be a lively danger. DONNY TEE is improving and won well last time out. A wide draw may make it difficult to follow up. NOTORIX won well last time out and is clearly not out of it. PASHTUNWALI is doing well in his new yard but has a tough task this time from a bad draw. CRUZADOR is battling to win but could earn some more money.

Race Summary: IRON BARK has built up a very impressive record on the Polytrack this year winning his last five races on the surface. It is his first taste of the Fairview Polytrack but he may well add to his win tally. SLIM JANNIE has been good for trainer Gavin Smith and will not go down without a fight. TEATRO likes this surface and should be right there at the finish once again. CAPTAIN CASANOVA was a disappointment on the turf last time out but as done better on this surface and is not out of it.
Selections:
#1 Iron Bark, #7 Captain Casanova, #2 Slim Jannie, #4 Teatro
Fairview Polytrack, 24.11.2023, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R73.000, 16:55GMT+2
Race Summary: The usual last-race nightmare for punters and a wide spread of runners will be needed for the exotics. IDABELLE clearly likes this surface and could pull of the win but she will need to fight off many rivals. STATE OF MIND has been unreliable of late but is capable of bouncing back to score. VENUS DE MILO has changed trainers from her last run and would not be a surprise winner. UNITED EXPRESS is better than her last run would suggest. COLORAMA and GLOBAL GODDESS are both effective over this track and trip and are clearly not out of it.
Selections:
#2 Idabelle, #3 State Of Mind, #4 Venus De Milo, #12 Colorama
Best Win: #1 ENCHANTED SKY
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #10 TIMBAVATI RIVER
