RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: FAIRVIEW POLYTRACK@2025.07.18
Fairview Polytrack, 18.07.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R78.000, 12:30GMT+2
Race Summary: BUDDLEJA has run well in two of her three starts. This looks a very weak race form wise and she may well be the best of them. JUST ONE KISS flopped on her debut but did have betting support so could bounce back to score this time around. BAABOOO is making her debut and would not be a surprise winner. SALAGADOOLA has only been modest so far but can contest the finish.
Selections: #2 Buddleja, #3 Just One Kiss, #5 Salagadoola, #1 Baabooo
Fairview Polytrack, 18.07.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R75.000, 13:05GMT+2
Race Summary: FLIGHT ENGINEER has been a disappointment of late but this is an ideal opportunity to get a first win. He did not run too badly earlier this week. BROOKSIDER has been a disappointment of late but does have a winning chance. Stable companion STAND UP showed improvement last time and should have more to offer. LIKE A BUTTERFLY returns from a break but is capable of winning if she shows her best form. AM STILL WINNING makes a local debut and could improve. IVY is speedy when in the mood and one of these days she may keep rolling out in front.
Selections: #2 Flight Engineer, #1 Brooksider, #7 Ivy, #4 Stand Up
Fairview Polytrack, 18.07.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R71.000, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: WILD FIG went too quickly for her own good last time out and did well to cling on for a place. If given a more patient ride she can make amends for her supporters. PYRO EDITION showed improvement last time out and can have more to offer trying the Polytrack. PIBE DE ORO just missed on local debut earlier this week and can go one better. PHYSIOLOGUS is improving and has a minor place chance. BIRD ON A WING and GO DANCING both make their local debuts and are capable of improvement.
Selections: #6 Wild Fig, #1 Pyro Edition, #7 Bird On A Wing, #8 Go Dancing
Fairview Polytrack, 18.07.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R80.000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: COASTAL PATH is very consistent and should make a bold bid at beating these rivals. GUARDING THE WALL benefitted from a good ride when allowed a soft lead and could be a threat if given that same luxury this time. SILVER TYCOON is better than he has been showing of late and has a winning chance on best form. ROTOTO showed improvement on this surface and could be a threat once again. FLOWER FESTIVAL is consistent and can get involved with the finish gain. CRUZADOR is still in good shape and is also not out of it.
Selections: #2 Coastal Path, #9 Flower Festival, #7 Rototo, #5 Guarding The Wall
Fairview Polytrack, 18.07.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R106.000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: PARIS LASS is very speedy and is coming off a good win. She can make all the running when at her best. ELLORIX did not show her best last time but has beaten that rival and can be a serious challenger. SAHARA CAT needed the last run and could be the surprise package. GOLDEN PAVILION has been in very good form of late and should be right there at the finish going 1000m this time. CROWNED HORNBILL flopped on local debut and is trying the Polytrack but can win on his best form.
Selections: #1 Paris Lass, #2 Ellorix, #6 Golden Pavilion, #7 Crowned Hornbill
Fairview Polytrack, 18.07.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R81.000, 15:30GMT+2
Race Summary: SMASHING has been consistent since joining trainer Alan Greeff. She is well drawn and has a big winning chance with Richard Fourie in the saddle. SWEET JULIA was ahead of that rival when they last met but has a tricky draw. HAPPY WIVES makes her local debut and could improve. MARSHMALLOW returns from a break but does like this surface and is not out of it. AIR BORN LADY seems beter than her last run. KILMONIVAIG has a place chance in this line-up. BENEATH THE MOON needed her last run and could surprise.
Selections: #4 Smashing, #5 Sweet Julia, #3 Marshmallow, #6 Air Born Lady
Fairview Polytrack, 18.07.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R88.000, 16:05GMT+2
Race Summary: FAMILY POWER impressed on local debut. This will be her debut the Polytrack and she could have more wins in her based on that performance. BOSNAY does not always show her best but she certainly did last time out and deserves respect for that win. EPIKLEROS is better than what she has shown of late and could be a danger. TREASURE HUNT likes this surface and can contest the finish. ARABIAN RED has been a flop of late but does like this surface and is not out of it.
Selections: #4 Family Power, #1 Bosnay, #3 Treasure Hunt, #7 Arabian Red
Fairview Polytrack, 18.07.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R76.000, 16:40GMT+2
Race Summary: Justin Snaith seldom goes home without a winner and BEER WITH THE BOYS could win this race. He has yet to run on the Polytrack but is usually competitive and can beat these rivals. DARLING HARBOUR has improved of late and should be right there at the finish. TAKE YOUR TIME is in very good form and can contest the finish yet again. MOTHERSHIP tends to lack a strong finish but is capable of playing a minor role.
Selections: #4 Beer With The Boys, #3 Darling Harbour, #8 Take Your Time, #10 Mothership
Best Win: #4 FAMILY POWER
Best Longshot: #2 FLIGHT ENGINEER
