RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: FAIRVIEW POLYTRACK@2025.03.04

Fairview Polytrack, 04.03.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R78.000, 12:40GMT+2

Race Summary: More was expected on debut by ARABIAN BLUE. She showed signs of inexperience and with improvement likely she can see off these rivals this time around. MIND FREEZE and PRICELESS TREASURE were right there at the finish with that rival and they would not be surprise winners. IVY is an Act Of War filly who makes her debut for trainer Gavin Smith and she may be ready to win on debut. SECONDS OUT is an Ideal World filly also making her debut.

Selections:
#1 Arabian Blue, #5 Priceless Treasure, #4 Mind Freeze, #3 Ivy

Fairview Polytrack, 04.03.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 2200m, Poly, R75.000, 13:15GMT+2

Race Summary: ONO NO KOMACHI is holding her form well. She is overdue a first win and will have blinkers for the first time. MASTER WIZARD makes his local debut trying the Polytrack and would not be a surprise winner. TAKE A MULLIGAN has been a huge disappointment this season but does try blinkers and could surprise. WELSH STARLET did not do much last time out but does have a place chance. A MONTH OF SUNDAYS and ACCUMULATE are both consistent on this surface and should contest the finish.

Selections:
#3 Ono No Komachi, #5 A Month Of Sundays, #6 Accumulate, #1 Master Wizard

Fairview Polytrack, 04.03.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R75.000, 13:50GMT+2

Race Summary: DUCHESS OF SEVILLE makes her local debut. Trainer Alan Greeff usually does well with types like her and she can score trying the surface. MISS PRIOR is consistent and from jumping from pole position she will be given every chance at scoring. WINTER IN PARIS is capable of better than she showed last time and could like this surface. Both OH YOKO and TIME IN PARIS showed improvement last time out and would not be surprise winners. TUNE AGAIN has a place chance.

Selections:
#3 Duchess Of Seville, #1 Miss Prior, #6 Time In Paris, #5 Oh Yoko

Fairview Polytrack, 04.03.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R88.000, 14:25GMT+2

Race Summary: IN THE GREEN ZONE has not been at her best with blinkers on of late but has made the trip from the Western Cape and is capable of beating these rivals if in the right mood. HAVANA GREY has not always shown her best side but has a place chance. PROJECT RUNWAY has been disappointing of late but is well drawn and clearly not out of it. JADE’S CABERNEIGH flopped in her last start but was in good form before that and is course and distance suited. SEE YOU IN A BIT should run well from this draw with Muzi Yeni in the irons. SHARAPOVA remains in good form and should be involved with the finish yet again.

Selections:
#2 In The Green Zone, #9 Sharapova, #3 Project Runway, #7 Jade’s Caberneigh

Fairview Polytrack, 04.03.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R95.000, 15:00GMT+2

Race Summary: ABOUND has won two of his last four starts and should make a bold attempt at scoring over this track and distance from a decent draw. DONNY TEE is speedy on this surface and clearly not out of it. WHATEVER NEXT flopped on the turf last time but had been doing well on this surface and can bounce back and be a threat. SILVONIAN, DUBAI HILLS and CHARLIE MALONE have been in good form of late and are capable of getting into the mix of things.

Selections:
#1 Abound, #4 Whatever Next, #2 El Romiachi, #3 Donny Tee

Fairview Polytrack, 04.03.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R71.000, 15:35GMT+2

Race Summary: HAT HOT HAT returns from a lengthy break but would not be a surprise winner in this weak race. ALWAYS SHINING did not seem to enjoy the turf last time out and will be a threat back on this surface. OH MANDY is better than her last run would suggest and will be right there at the finish. SMART VIEW is unreliable but capable of earning some money when in the right mood. TO BE FREE has run well on the Polytrack so perhaps the last run on turf is best ignored.

Selections:
#3 Hat Hot Hat, #4 Oh Mandy, #1 Always Shining, #8 Visionary Dreamer

Fairview Polytrack, 04.03.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R94.000, 16:10GMT+2

Race Summary: CATCH YOUR BREATH has been a disappointment twice in a row. She is back on her favourite surface and should fight out the finish. Stable companion LADY SILVANO has been very good of late and jockey Richard Fourie is on her so that might be best followed. RED SASH is consistent and has a place chance. VIHAAN’S QUEEN could show vast improvement back on this surface and deserves respect. ESSENTIAL and HEART PEAKS are both coming off good last runs and are capable of earning some more money.

Selections:
#4 Catch Your Breath, #3 Lady Silvano, #6 Vihaan’s Queen, #7 Essential

Fairview Polytrack, 04.03.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R76.000, 16:45GMT+2

Race Summary: NOBE WARRIOR showed improvement on this surface last time and can go one better, but it is a very open handicap it may well pay to include as many as possible for this leg of the Pick 6. GRAND OASIS was a very easy maiden winner on this surface last time out. Stable companions MEETATTHEWINDSOR and CORAL CREEK are in good shape and would not be surprise winners. FEARLESS BADGER got a first victory last time out and could show further improvement. KING RAHUL was getting close to winning a race in Gauteng this year but is badly drawn on local debut.

Selections:
#12 Noble Warrior, #3 Coral Creek, #2 Meetatthewindsor, #8 King Rahul

Best Win: #1 ARABIAN BLUE
Best Value Bet: —
Best Longshot: #3 HAT HOT HAT
