SUNDROP is battling to win but can earn some more money.

PAINITE continues to improve but is giving weight to all his rivals. MAGICAL MIDLANDS won well with blinkers last time out and could follow up. LIGHT WITHOUT is always a danger and deserves respect. NOTHINGELSEMATTERS has lost his way but is capable of an upset. JUAN CARLOS was unlucky last time and could do better. MAGNUM FIRE and ELLIS ISLAND are both course and distance suited.

Fairview, 31.05.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R84.500, 14:45GMT+2
Race Summary: An interesting race. DOUBLE CHECK has been poor of late but she does like this course and has won over this track and trip. OFFICIAL SECRET has lost her way of late but does have Richard Fourie in the irons. SAY YES could surprise over this longer distance. WOMAN’S WORLD is in good form and will give them something to chase down. She may well keep rolling this time. PUBLIC BENEFIT is very consistent and should fight out the finish. GIDEON’S DAUGHTER may be better on the Polytrack but that does not mean she cannot win this race.
Selections:
#5 Double Check, #8 Public Benefit, #7 Woman’s World, #4 Say Yes
Fairview, 31.05.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R150.000, 15:20GMT+2
Race Summary: SPLICETHEMAINBRACE continues to impress and has won four in a row. Her last win was the most impressive to date and that runner-up has since won. She should be hard to oppose. HAPPY HOLLY has been touched off twice by SPLICETHEMAINBRACE and fights all the way to the line. BE MERRY has yet to win but trainer Justin Snaith knows wat is needed to win a race like this, so she deserves respect. CAN’T SAY NO justified good betting support to follow up on her maiden win and double up last time out but this does look a tough task.
Selections:
#6 Splicethemainbrace, #1 Be Merry, #4 Happy Holly, #2 Can’T Say No

Race Summary: Yet another race to go wide in the exotics. DESTINY’S ANGEL was not disgraced on the Polytrack last time out but does seem to prefer the turf and could pop up in a race like this. MY AMI BEACH likes this course and distance and has a place chance. GUNSMOKE is better over further but could be running on late. SWISS WALT showed of what he is capable with an easy win last time out and that runner-up has since won. More was expected of MY BEST SHOT last time, but he could be better on the grass and should make a bold bid at scoring. CHARLIE MALONE was unlucky last time and needs to be included in all permutations.
Selections:
#3 Destiny’s Angel, #7 Charlie Malone, #6 My Best Shot, #9 Arturo
Fairview, 31.05.2024, Race 9, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R83.000, 16:30GMT+2

GLOBETONIC is better than his last run would suggest. CAPTAIN TIK TOK is in good form and deserves respect. EYJAFJALLAJOKULL and TWICE THE STORM are two others who could surprise.
