RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: FAIRVIEW@2024.04.05
Fairview, 05.04.2024, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R72.000, 12:50GMT+2
Race Summary: MAGDALA is very speedy and if she does not overdo it could prove hard to catch in this line-up. MAGICAL RIVER was a bit of a disappointment last time but is capable of better and should fight out the finish. MISS PREDATOR, PROJECT RUNWAY and SANDY’S PRINCESS – the betting will be the best guide on their winning chances. SERENDIPITOUS lacks a strong finish but could play a minor role. WINASHARE is a well-bred filly and would not be a surprise winner.
Selections:
#3 Magdala, #4 Magical River, #9 Winashare, #5 Miss Predator
Fairview, 05.04.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R72.000, 13:25GMT+2
Race Summary: GLOBAL STATE has run well in both starts and both winners in those races look good sorts so he should be the one to beat. SWEET AND TRUE was touched off on debut but the horse who beat him flopped last time out. COWBOYS DON’T CRY was not disgraced on debut and could make vast improvement with that experience. GARDENER’S PRIDE makes his debut and could be ready for this race. STORMSTRIDE makes his debut so keep an eye on the betting. CAN’T SAY NO was not disgraced on debut and could do even better this time.
Selections:
#4 Global State, #6 Sweet And True, #8 Can’T Say No, #1 Cowboys Don’T Cry
Fairview, 05.04.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R66.000, 14:00GMT+2
Race Summary: FIVE STAR MAGIC is improving and knocking on the door. She could go one better this time. BATTLE OF KURSK and ELECTRIC STORM are both due to have run on Friday 29 March so those runs will need to be looked at. SPECMAGIC makes his local debut and can fight out the finish once again. ACT OF POWER, MY BEST SHOT and MASTER OF DEFENSE are all capable of earning some money.
Selections:
#8 Five Star Magic, #1 Battle Of Kursk, #2 Electric Storm, #3 Specmagic
Fairview, 05.04.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R95.000, 14:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Jockey Richard Fourie has a tremendous record aboard filly LUNA HALO with six wins and a second place. The runner-up performance was also full of merit as he had to deal with a slipped saddle. This course and distance suits LUNA HALO very nicely and she will make a go of winning again, even from a very wide draw. AND WE DANCED continues to be in very good form without winning but is weighted to win this. SISTER LIGHT is best around this distance and should run better than her last run. SILVERY BLUE and TREASURE HUNT should not win at these weights but might earn some money.
Selections:
#1 Luna Halo, #2 And We Danced, #9 Silvery Blue, #10 Treasure Hunt
Fairview, 05.04.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R71.000, 15:15GMT+2
Race Summary: A competitive handicap. FERRANDO is knocking hard on the door and should be a big runner this track and distance. MR BODACIOUS did not show his best over 1200m but did win his penultimate start which was over this course and distance. RAPTOR ISLAND took a long time to finally break his maiden but can earn some more money. GREAT TIMES only found one better on the day last time out and can contest the finish. JACKSON MISISSIPPI is speedy and can earn some minor money.
Selections:
#1 Ferrando, #2 Mr Bodacious, #3 Raptor Island, #6 The Lady Love
Fairview, 05.04.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R87.000, 15:45GMT+2
Race Summary: A very competitive race. NOTHINGELSEMATTERS proved just in need of his local debut and could be ready to strike. Stable companions in the Alan Greeff yard, CENTRAL CITY and ST CLOUD, are both probably at their very best on the Polytrack but do deserve some respect. SPIN DOCTOR is unreliable but could earn some money. LIGHT WITHOUT is in good form and should be right there at the finish. PAINITE likes the Polytrack but can also earn some money. MAGICAL MIDLANDS is capable of better than what he has been showing of late.
Selections:
#8 Nothingelsematters, #3 Light Without, #7 Magical Midlands, #1 Central City
Fairview, 05.04.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 2800m, Turf, R175.000, 16:15GMT+2
Race Summary: BOURNEMOUTH is a decent stayer and was caught out of his ground last time. Richard Fourie has a very good record aboard him and it will be of no surprise if he turns around the form of his last run. ZATARA MAGIC is a bit unreliable but can contest the finish again. PEACE IN OUR WORLD is back to his very best and should fight out the finish yet again. THEFUTUREISBRIGHT is not an easy ride but has made the trip from the Western Cape and deserves some respect. Filly MEDLERS TART caught the other riders napping last time out but she may not get away with those tactics this time around.
Selections:
#2 Bournemouth, #3 Peace In Our World, #6 Medlers Tart, #1 Zatara Magic
Fairview, 05.04.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R73.000, 16:50GMT+2
Race Summary: The usual tough last race with a big field. FAIRY TRIPP may have needed her last run and has changed trainer and moved to the Eastern Cape. She could surprise on local debut. SYMBOL OF LOVE is much improved of late and won well last time out. MY AMI BEACH likes this course and distance and can earn some money. HOLLY’S VIEW reminded us of what she is capable with a good win last time out and can follow up. MISS SHAIVI and DREAM SCAPE are capable of better than their last runs would suggest and could do better.
Selections:
#8 Fairy Tripp, #1 Symbol Of Love, #2 My Ami Beach, #4 Holly’s View
Best Win: #8 FIVE STAR MAGIC
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #8 NOTHINGELSEMATTERS
