Race Summary: LA PEQUENITA is clearly not an easy ride but she has held her form of late and can benefit from a patient Sean Veale ride. VINTAGE CRYSTAL is threatening to win a race and should be right there at the finish once again. ACCUMULATE did not show much on local debut but could like the Polytrack and is not out of it. SUNDROP is battling to win but is quite capable of contesting the finish.

Fairview Polytrack, 09.08.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R84.500, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: A competitive-looking race. LADY WRITER is in good form and should fight out the finish yet again. Stable companions GOLD FOR AFRICA and JOSI MO both showed improvement last time out and are clearly not out of it. LADY ZULTANITE is unbeaten in three starts under Sandile Khathi and is yet another Mitchley-trained runner. UNYIELDING ran well last time out but will be trying this longer distance for the first time. CHRONICLESOFNANIA is capable of running well in this line-up. BE REAL makes her local debut and would not be a surprise winner.

Race Summary: KABON KAPI is carded to have run on Tuesday and that run needs to be looked at. She has a winning chance if appearing for this race. KILMONIVAIG is improving and has won two of her last four starts and can go close to winning. ALLENDE has not won for some time now but ran well last time and could be ready to strike. ELLORIX was an easy winner last time out and the confidence of that win could spark further improvement. IQEMBULABESIFAZANE returns from a break but would not be a surprise winner.
Selections:
#4 Kabon Kapi, #8 Iqembulabesifazane, #1 Kilmonivaig, #3 Allende

Race Summary: Another competitive handicap. COLORAMA likes the Polytrack and has been in good form of late. She could go close to winning over a track and trip that suits. LADY TIPTREE returned from a break in good shape and could do even better this time. ANGELSEA is unreliable but can contest the finish once again. SEPTEMBER FLOWER is improving and could have more to offer after a maiden victory. KOMESANS PASSION is holding her form and has a winning chance.

DONNY TEE bounced back to form with a good runner-up performance last time out and can go one better. LT ALEXANDER is holding form well and can contest the finish. ABOUND and RAVILIOUS have ability but do not always show it. ENCHANTED SKY and DUELLONA need to do more to beat these rivals but could earn some more money.

Fairview Polytrack, 09.08.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R90.000, 16:15GMT+2
Race Summary: A very open-looking race and it may well pay to put as many runners as possible in this leg of the Pick 6. TIMBAVATI RIVER remains in good shape and can score again. ATKINSON GRIMSHAW is capable of winning a race like this if showing his best side. Stable companion EYJAFJALLAJOKULL reminded us of what he is capable with a solid win last time out and could follow up. SCAMPTON has some fair form of late and is not out of it. AMERICAN DREAM and FINAL EDITION are both returning from breaks but can win on their best form. SILVER TYCOON has not been beaten too far in his recent runs and is also capable of being a threat.
Selections:
#2 Timbavati River, #3 Atkinson Grimshaw, #4 Eyjafjallajokull, #5 Scampton
Fairview Polytrack, 09.08.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R90.000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: MY BEST SHOT has the ability and was not disgraced with a cracking third-place finish in a quality field last time out and should be above this merit-rated field. VALERIAS DREAM makes her local debut and could show improvement. EUPHORIC is unreliable but can pop up in a place. PURPLE OPERATOR won a nice race on local debut and should be right there once again. TRAVEL MASTER returns from a break but is course and distance suited and is not out of it.
