Fairview, 11.10.2024, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R75.000, 12:20GMT+2
Race Summary: A weak opening event. PONTE VECCHIO is better than she showed last time. She has done well in races like this and has a winning chance. STRING OF LIGHTS tends to lack a strong finish but can earn some more money. CAPE FLOWER has been unreliable but is also not out of it. MISS PRIOR has improved with each run and should challenge for top honours. SERENDIPITOUS was touched off last time out. She should strip fitter this time but that was a very weak race. DOUBLE TRADE might play a minor role.
Selections:
#2 Ponte Vecchio, #5 Miss Prior, #6 Serendipitous, #1 String Of Lights
Fairview, 11.10.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R75.000, 12:55GMT+2
Race Summary: RUBY CLAIRE may have just needed her local debut. She can go one better back on the turf. RAINBOW RIVER tended to lack a strong finish in her races in Gauteng but would not be a surprise winner on local debut. MILLION REASONS has a place chance. LAUGH TILL I CRY makes her local debut and could show vast improvement. FIRE FESTIVAL needed the last run and could play a minor role at best. FIRE ALARM flopped in her second start but has had a break and should be stronger this time. She has a winning chance.
Selections:
#5 Ruby Claire, #1 Rainbow River, #6 Laugh Till I Cry, #11 Fire Alarm
Fairview, 11.10.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R90.000, 13:30GMT+2
Race Summary: FOUR JACKS was touched off on his local debut and can go one better this time. FINAL EDITION returned to form with a solid win last time out and deserves respect once again. TIMBAVATI RIVER has been holding form and can make the frame once again. SCAMPTON is clearly unreliable but does win when he is in the mood. ARTURO is better drawn this time and the last run is best ignored. HAWK CIRCLE needed his last run and could be the surprise package of the race.
Selections:
#5 Four Jacks, #6 Scampton, #2 Final Edition, #8 Arturo
Fairview, 11.10.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R106.000, 14:05GMT+2
Race Summary: HOLDING THUMBS suffered interference last time and that run is best ignored. He was impressive in his two wins before that on soft tracks and can bounce back to beat these rivals. SEQUOIA has been good all year and has a winning chance. GLOBAL ALLY has not really been at his best of late but does have a good record for jockey Richard Fourie and deserves respect once again. FATEFUL DAY showed of what he is capable with a very easy last win and is not out of it. BRENDEN JAMES and KINGDOM OF HEAVEN are both capable of earning some money when in the mood.
Selections:
#9 Holding Thumbs, #2 Global Ally, #1 Sequoia, #4 Fateful Day
Fairview, 11.10.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R88.000, 14:40GMT+2
Race Summary: A very open-looking race and it may pay to load up in this leg of the Pick 6. ARTICUNO returned to form with a solid last win and could follow up. Stable companions SYMBOL OF LOVE, EUROPEAN SUMMER and MY AMI BEACH are all course and distance suited and would not be surprise winner. VALERIAS DREAM went a bit quicker than what is practical last time and could benefit from a patient ride this time around. ELLA’S DELIGHT is in good form and can contest the finish yet again. CONFETTI is also capable of an upset if showing her best side.
Selections:
#4 Articuno, #5 Ella’s Delight, #1 Symbol Of Love, #3 European Summer
Fairview, 11.10.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R80.000, 15:15GMT+2
Race Summary: GUARDING THE WALL is not an easy ride and has been doing too much too early recently. He could benefit from a patient ride over this course and distance. COASTAL PATH has been unreliable of late but did win last time out and could follow up. EXPLOSIVE SPEED has been a disappointment of late but is capable of contesting the finish. WAR SWORD quickened nicely to get out of the maiden ranks last time out and has improved. This is a tougher task for him. GOLDEN CORN has lost his way but is weighted to win on best form.
Selections:
#8 Guarding The Wall, #1 Coastal Path, #2 Explosive Speed, #9 Jackson Misissippi
Fairview, 11.10.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R78.500, 15:50GMT+2

SEPTEMBER FLOWER did not show her best last time but has scope for improvement and is not out of it. RAIN BIRD is speedy and could make all in a race like this. SI GIOCA and QUERANDI may both be better on the Polytrack but could surprise. KOMESANS PASSION is capable of a strong finish and looks a serious threat to these rivals. DE JANEIRO shows pace and could hang in there for a minor place.

CAPTAIN TIK TOK is holding his form and can contest the finish once again. RAVILIOUS has not been disgraced of late and has a winning chance.
