Race Summary: STU’S GIRL has been a disappointment in that she has yet to win but she should go one better on her good last performance. STRING OF LIGHTS is not reliable but can earn some money. BELLA ATTRICE usually shows good pace and can get involved with the finish once again. PONTE VECCHIO is threatening to win a race and deserves some respect. TUNE AGAIN is distance-suited and has a place chance. OPERA VERSE can improve after a change of yards. KAROO BOKKIE tries the turf this time and can make vast improvement.
Selections:
#11 Stu’s Girl, #14 Karoo Bokkie, #3 Ponte Vecchio, #2 Bella Attrice

Race Summary: TURBO TWENTY is threatening to win and has a big winning chance in this line-up. FLASH LIGHTNING was not disgraced on local debut and could have more to offer. AND ACTION should fight out the finish once again. MASTER OF DEFENSE is holding form and has a winning chance. COLONEL GREEN is unreliable but does have a place chance. WAR SWORD will be doing his best work late and could get into the money. FIRST LORD is back on the grass and could be the surprise package of the race after two poor runs on the Polytrack.

Fairview, 30.08.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R81.000, 13:35GMT+2
Race Summary: An interesting race. The official handicap ratings may be put under pressure. WALK WITH ME is not rated to win this race if judged on his official merit rating but is improving and his trainer knows what is needed to win races like this. MISTER SPEAKER and FAMILY LAW are best weighted for the race and both deserve the utmost respect. MISTER SPEAKER showed of he is capable when running on well in a better race than this last time out. FAMILY LAW flopped last time but his form before that was very good and he would not be a surprise winner.
Selections:
#4 Walk With Me, #3 Family Law, #2 Mister Speaker, #7 Fredericos Passion
Fairview, 30.08.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R106.000, 14:10GMT+2
Race Summary: GIMME’S LADDIE has impressed in his good last two wins and could pull off the hat-trick but an 8-point penalty for the latest win will not make it easy for him. THE MAURITIAN has improved of late and should be right there at the finish once again. PIROSHKA only found one better on the day last time and has a winning chance. UBISIKA is unreliable but is also not out of it. FOREST SPY has built up a good record with his current jockey and deserves some respect. SON OF ZEUS loves this course and distance and can score again if in the same mood.
Selections:
#2 Gimme’s Laddie, #3 The Mauritian, #8 Whatever Next, #9 Son Of Zeus
Fairview, 30.08.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1100m, Turf, R78.500, 14:45GMT+2
Race Summary: A big field low division handicap and we may need to go as wide as possible to survive this leg of the Pick 6. MAGDALA did not show her best in her last two starts but is speedy and could make all with blinkers on for the first time. FREE WORLD is improving and can make the frame. BYTHELITEOFTHEMOON is back on the turf and has a winning chance. MISS PREDATOR is back on the grass and could be the surprise package of this race. COLD TRUTH is in good form and clearly not out of it. KOMESANS PASSION is in fair form and can do better this time. FULL OF MAGIC is better than the last run would suggest and needs to be included in all exotics
Selections:
#5 Magdala, #3 Bytheliteofthemoon, #1 Free World, #11 Full Of Magic
Fairview, 30.08.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R80.000, 15:20GMT+2
Race Summary: MY BESTIE disappointed last week on the Polytrack. He should do a lot better back on the grass. TIMBAVATI RIVER is in good form and can make the frame. BE REAL may have just needed her local debut. PEDRO is capable of getting involved with the finish when in the mood. FINAL EDITION proved in need of his last run and can bounce back to score. Stable companions NOTHINGELSEMATTERS and SAND BANK are also in good shape and are capable of winning.
Selections:
#5 My Bestie, #2 Be Real, #8 Nothingelsematters, #6 Pedro
Fairview, 30.08.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R150.000, 15:55GMT+2
Race Summary: GOLD POKER GAME may be at her very best over a bit shorter but is quite capable of winning this competitive looking feature race. FLOWER OF SAIGON has no issues with this course and distance and should fight out the finish. TIME FOR LOVE has been best over shorter but would not be a surprise winner. JOY AND PEACE has won her last four races and jockey Richard Fourie knows how to get the best out of her. CRIMSON PRINCESS and OFFICIAL SECRET both need to find a few lengths to beat the selection but are capable of sneaking some minor money.
Selections:
#4 Time For Love, #2 Gold Poker Game, #3 Flower Of Saigon, #5 Joy And Peace
Fairview, 30.08.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R85.000, 16:35GMT+2
