RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: FAIRVIEW POLYTRACK@2024.07.29
Fairview Polytrack, 29.07.2024, Race 1, Gallops, 1100m, Poly, R50.000, 12:30GMT+2
Race Summary: NIKES RAY OF LIGHT did not show his best last time. He was slowly away and had a slipped saddle so perhaps the run is best forgotten. He was threatening to win a race and can bounce back to score. WAR SWORD is unreliable but can earn some more money. CONNECTION has been a disappointment but does have a place chance. WINNING CAPTAIN showed improvement in a new yard and is not out of it. COLONEL GREEN lacks a strong finish but could play a minor role. BEST INTENTIONS had a slipped saddle last time out but could bounce back and be a threat.
Selections:
#4 Nikes Ray Of Light, #6 Best Intentions, #2 Connection, #1 War Sword
Fairview Polytrack, 29.07.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1300m, Poly, R50.000, 13:05GMT+2
Race Summary: TARTAN QUEEN has a wide draw for her jockey to overcome but does like this surface and can contest the finish once again. LA PEQUENITA is better than her last run would suggest and should be right there at the finish. GOTCHA BUZZ is battling to win a race but could earn some more money. GREEN FAME probably needed her local debut so should improve. GLOBAL SCENE is well drawn and could earn some more money. MY TRUE LOVE and TUNE AGAIN are also capable of earning some money.
Selections:
#5 Tartan Queen, #2 La Pequenita, #3 Gotcha Buzz, #6 Global Scene
Fairview Polytrack, 29.07.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R50.000, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: CRIMSON COMET found betting support last time out and was narrowly beaten. He can go one better this time. ISLAND MASTER has improved of late and can fight out the finish once again. PORTCULLIS does seem a lot better than the last run would suggest and could bounce back to be a threat. BELLE’S FIRST WAVE is a long-time battling maiden but is also not out of it in this line-up. SUNDROP is carded to have raced on Friday and that run will need to be looked at. DANCE MO ran below par last time after some nice runs and should be involved with the finish once again.
Selections:
#4 Crimson Comet, #9 Dance Mo, #8 Sundrop, #1 Island Master
Fairview Polytrack, 29.07.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 2200m, Poly, R50.000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: THE INKOSANA looked the likely winner going into the last 200m but somehow managed to lose to his stable companion. He has improved of late and can make amends for that narrow defeat. GIVE US A SMILE is in good shape and can be competitive once again. KANIMAMBO has improved of late and should be involved with the finish once again. WOLFRAM has been a tough ride but finally broke the ice last time out. ELLIS ISLAND has run well in better fields than this and is not out of it. STATE OF MIND is consistent and can earn some more money.
Selections:
#4 The Inkosana, #6 Ellis Island, #3 Kanimambo, #2 Give Us A Smile
Fairview Polytrack, 29.07.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1900m, Poly, R50.000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: An open-looking race. REACH FORTHE STARS is clearly unreliable but he did look unlucky in his penultimate start and could be of some value this time. PETTEIA showed what he is capable of in a maiden win and could follow up. SLAINTE MHATH likes the Polytrack and has a winning chance. HEAD GARDENER does not always show his best but could make the frame. MALDANO has done enough of late to hold a chance in this line-up. ADIOS AMIGOS and SAN QUINTIN could be added into larger Pick 6 permutations.
Selections:
#2 Reach Forthe Stars, #4 Slainte Mhath, #5 Head Gardener, #6 Maldano
Fairview Polytrack, 29.07.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R50.000, 15:25GMT+2
Race Summary: HUGSANDHIGHFIVES was doing her best work at the finish last time and could do enough on the occasion to score. QUERANDI found the distance a bit sharp last time out and could be the surprise package of the race. SEASIDE TRIP is improving and could follow up on the maiden win. MILLIONDOLLAR GUEST, ON THE GUEST LIST and MAGICAL RIVER all appear better than their last runs suggest and could earn some minor money if in the mood.
Selections:
#2 Hugsandhighfives, #1 Querandi, #4 Seaside Trip, #5 Milliondollar Girl
Fairview Polytrack, 29.07.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1100m, Poly, R50.000, 16:00GMT+2
Race Summary: A weak race and anything is possible. Trainer Cliffie Miller has his horses in good shape and PERSISTANCE likes this surface. But he is returning from a break. SEATTLE RIPPER showed improvement last time out and could be ready to strike. KNOCKEMSTIFF makes his local debut and it may well be a winning one. KOMESANS PASSION showed vast improvement last time out but has not won in some time
Selections:
#8 Persistance, #3 Knockemstiff, #5 Komesans Passion, #1 Seattle Ripper
Fairview Polytrack, 29.07.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R50.000, 16:35GMT+2
Race Summary: A tough race to end a difficult card. FULL OF MAGIC ran well on local debut and could do a lot better this time. ARTURO is clearly better than the last run would suggest and he deserves the utmost respect. CHARLIE MALONE has been unlucky a couple of times and could win. Stable companion CRUZADOR is in good form and could break a long losing run. BENNELONG POINT and GREAT TIMES have done enough of late to hold winning chances.
Selections:
#6 Full Of Magic, #3 Cruzador, #5 Charlie Malone, #7 Bennelong Point
Best Win: #4 THE INKOSANA
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #2 REACH FORTHE STARS
