RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: FAIRVIEW POLYTRACK@2024.06.07
Fairview Polytrack, 07.06.2024, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R78.000, 12:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Jockey Richard Fourie marches on with his record-breaking quest and he can get off the mark in the opening event. His mount, SEPTEMBER FLOWER, makes her debut but she is by a sire, One World, who is having a very good season. BRETTY will give her something to chase down as she has improved with blinkers. ELEGANT APPEAL was not beaten far on debut and should improve and be a threat to these rivals. MISS PRIOR was well beaten on debut but is capable of improvement.
Selections:
#6 September Flower, #1 Bretty, #2 Elegant Appeal, #7 Tartan Queen
Fairview Polytrack, 07.06.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R78.000, 13:00GMT+2
Race Summary: WALT WHITMAN found betting support on debut and did not run badly at all when fourth behind a form winner. Improvement should be forthcoming and he is the one to beat. A BIT CHILLY did not show much in two starts in the Western Cape but could show vast improvement at this centre and on the Polytrack. COWBOYS DON’T CRY only produced a fair debut but should improve and contest the finish. MISTER SPEAKER shows pace and has a place chance. UNION ROSE was slow on debut but could improve.
Selections:
#7 Walt Whitman, #1 A Bit Chilly, #2 Cowboys Don’T Cry, #3 Deputy Targaryen
Fairview Polytrack, 07.06.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R75.000, 13:35GMT+2
Race Summary: A competitive race. RESURGENCE lacked extra late on local debut but should improve. He tries the Polytrack and may well like it. COLONEL GREEN will appreciate the drop in distance from his last run and should fight out the finish. STATESMAN was not beaten far on debut and his second run is worth ignoring. He joins the yard of trainer Alan Greeff and is likely to make good progress at this centre. PRINCESS VRITTI struggled on local debut but is capable of showing some improvement.
Selections:
#1 Resurgence, #2 Colonel Green, #6 Statesman, #8 Princess Vritti
Fairview Polytrack, 07.06.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R75.000, 14:10GMT+2
Race Summary: MILLIONDOLLAR GIRL is unreliable but has run some fair races and could take to the Polytrack which she tries for the first time. More was expected of HANGING ROCK when third on local debut. She is consistent and will win sooner or later and deserves the utmost respect in this line-up. NTOMBENHLE makes her local debut and can contest the finish. VINTAGE CRYSTAL wasn’t beaten far on local debut and has a winning chance. MY TRUE LOVE and WATCHMYTAIL are two others who could get involved in the finish.
Selections:
#5 Milliondollar Girl, #1 Hanging Rock, #2 Ntombenhle, #3 Vintage Crystal
Fairview Polytrack, 07.06.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R104.000, 14:45GMT+2
Race Summary: A competitive race. NO PLACE LIKE HOME won well on local debut. This is a tougher race but he may well follow up. SLINGS AND ARROWS is not well drawn but has early pace and if allowed a soft lead could make all the running. WHATEVER NEXT seems better over a shorter distance but could earn some minor money. ESSENTIAL is improving and could pull off a hat-trick after some solid recent wins. FATEFUL DAY is not reliable but is well drawn and is not out of it. ATKINSON GRIMSHAW is in good form and deserves some respect.
Selections:
#6 No Place Like Home, #4 Essential, #1 Slings And Arrows, #2 Whatever Next
Fairview Polytrack, 07.06.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R104.000, 15:21GMT+2
Race Summary: LUNA HALO is unbeaten on the Polytrack in two starts. She also runs very well for Richard Fourie, having won 7 of 9 races in which he has ridden her. She is giving weight to all her rivals but is weighted to win again. AMAZING COLOURS flopped in the East Cape Derby but seems better on this surface and could earn some money. ROSE OF BAYEUX has been very effective over this course and distance but has not been at her best of late. LADY MISTICO was not disgraced when fourth last time out and did win her last two races on the Polytrack. STRANGE MAGIC and OCTOBER FAIR make their local debuts and could be threats.
Selections:
#1 Luna Halo, #10 October Fair, #5 Lady Mistico, #4 Rose Of Bayeux
Fairview Polytrack, 07.06.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R104.000, 15:55GMT+2
Race Summary: GIMME’S LADDIE won nicely on local debut and was unlucky last time out. If given a clear passage this time he can bounce back to score. SAFE RETURN is holding form but battling to win. SEQUOIA was not beaten by far last time and has won a couple of times on this surface so could be a danger. CAPTAIN CASANOVA likes this surface and is not out of it. COOL WINTER is unreliable but has a place chance. TRANSACT likes this distance and could earn some money. SIBERIAN STEEL can improve off a fair local debut.
Selections:
#7 Gimme’s Laddie, #2 Sequoia, #5 Captain Casanova, #6 Cool Winter
Fairview Polytrack, 07.06.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R78.500, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: An interesting last race. HAVANA GREY showed promise and was not disgraced in a juvenile feature last time out. This course and distance suits and she can bounce back to win. HILDELITA has not captured her juvenile form but could earn some money. CUE THE REBEL has lost her way of late but her only win was on the Polytrack and a change of trainer could spark improvement. ELLA’S DELIGHT shows pace and could earn some minor money. JADE’S CABERNEIGH is hat-trick seeking after some narrow wins but could challenge them. MISS PREDATOR is improving and could contest the finish.
Selections:
#4 Havana Grey, #5 Jade’s Caberneigh, #7 Miss Predator, #8 Global Goddess
Best Win: #1 LUNA HALO
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #5 MILLIONDOLLAR GIRL
