RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: FAIRVIEW POLYTRACK@2025.05.12
Fairview Polytrack, 12.05.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R78.000, 12:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Inexperience seems to have cost BAROLO in both her starts so far. She should go one better this time. DREAM TEAM was a couple of lengths behind that rival last time out and will need to improve to beat her but can play a minor role. GOLDEN CROC tries the Polytrack and could show improvement after fair first two runs. SILVAN MISTRESS is probably looking for further but should be right there at the finish once again. VINO RIOJA makes her debut and could earn some money.
Selections: #1 Barolo, #8 Silvan Mistress, #3 Dream Team, #9 Vino Rioja
Fairview Polytrack, 12.05.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R75.000, 13:05GMT+2
Race Summary: CLEVER CANDY showed good improvement when a close-up third on local debut. She may need further than this to be seen at her best but can win this time around. GRAND ALLEGRO was clearly too far back last time and did well to finish as close to the winner as he did. He should be very competitive yet again. WORLD SOPRANO did not show his best last time but is not out of it. BROOKSIDER is capable of getting in the mix of things as well. AMERICAN PITBULL and ALADO’S HABIT are also capable of earning some money.
Selections: #8 Clever Candy, #1 Grand Allegro, #7 Alado’s Habit, #3 Brooksider
Fairview Polytrack, 12.05.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R71.000, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: MR FOX is still showing signs of inexperience and a switch to the Polytrack could coax a victory out of him. CHEERFUL CHARLIE B was not far behind that rival last time out but can get involved with the finish again. BOMBER BAY returned to sprinting last time but could be better this distance and is not out of it. FIZZLY BUBBLY can improve trying the Polytrack for the first time. OPERA VERSE and PRESERVE FOREVER are capable of making the frame.
Selections: #1 Mr Fox, #2 Cheerful Charlie B, #3 Bomber Bay, #4 Fizzly Bubbly
Fairview Polytrack, 12.05.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R80.000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: GREENLIGHT LEGEND backed out the stalls at the worst possible moment and a false starts was decided. She has won full of running in two local starts on the turf and can score again if as good on this surface. BOSNAY is clearly unreliable but was only run out of it late last time and does have a winning chance. LANCIAFIAMME bounced back from some dismal performances with a good run last time out and can get involved with the finish. PISCES and MISTER WHISTLE are both in good shape and can earn some more money.
Selections: #6 Greenlight Legend, #7 Bosnay, #10 Mister Whistle, #9 Pisces
Fairview Polytrack, 12.05.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R78.500, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: A very competitve race and it may pay to load up with many runners in the Pick 6 for this leg. DRESSEDTOTHENINES clearly needed her last run and can bounce back to score. MISS PRIOR is consistent but has a wide draw. SWEET JULIA makes her local debut but does have a winning chance. MEDITERANEANGODDES is very speedy and always a threat this course and distance. SWISS PARADISE makes her local debut and would not be a surprise winner.
Selections: #2 Dressedtothenines, #4 Sweet Julia, #8 Swiss Paradise, #7 Mediteraneangoddes
Fairview Polytrack, 12.05.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R95.000, 15:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Trainer Alan Greeff has a very strong hand in this race. Jockey Richard Fourie sticks with WHATEVER NEXT but it is MASKED VIGILANTE who gets the preference. He has been at his very best on the Polytrack and is suited to this course and distance. WHATEVER NEXT is not an easy ride these days but should fight it out again. DUBAI HILLS is in good form and would not be a surprise winner for Greeff. KING’S RANSOM is not reliable but can get into the mix of things this time. SWISS WALT has improved of late and is another to consider, as well as SILVONIAN.
Selections: #5 Masked Vigilante, #1 Whatever Next, #9 Swiss Walt, #7 Silvonian
Fairview Polytrack, 12.05.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R90.000, 16:05GMT+2
Race Summary: A competitive handicap. CHILI BOMB has improved of late and could complete a hat-trick. CHAMPONELLE remains at the top of her game and was an easy winner last time so could double up. CAN’T SAY NO and FINAL EDITION are other Alan Greeff runners with winning chances. Rival trainer Gavin Smith has CHARLIE MALONE who ran on well to win his latest start and GLOBETONIC, who is also in good form and quite capable of winning again.
Selections: #2 Chili Bomb, #3 Champonelle, #4 Final Edition, #7 Charlie Malone
Fairview Polytrack, 12.05.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1900m, Poly, R84.500, 16:40GMT+2
Race Summary: A tough race to end the card. FLIGHT DISPLAY has only been beaten once in her three local starts and that was by a good filly last time out. CALL TO GLORY is in good shape but has a difficult draw for her jockey to overcome. FAR REACHING makes her local debut and is trying the Polytrack but she does have ability and can score. GET IT DONE is always a threat on this surface. LADY ZULTANITE was touched off by FLIGHT DISPLAY when they met so deserves respect. CANFORD QUEEN and DARLING HARBOUR are others to consider.
Selections: #5 Flight Display, #1 Call To Glory, #3 Far Reaching, #6 Get It Done
Best Win: #6 GREENLIGHT LEGEND
Best Longshot: #5 MASKED VIGILANTE
