Fairview, 04.08.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R71.000, 12:30GMT+2
Race Summary: THE ROARING ROCK did not show his best on the Polytrack. There is a chance this race will be run on the Polytrack if the rains arrive. He will prove hard to beat on the grass. AWAY WITH RED showed improvement last time out and can contest the finish again. AMERICAN EAGLE is improving and is not out of it. FLIGHT ENGINEER and OPERA VERSE are battling to win a race but could play minor roles. DARLINGBUDSOFMAY showed improvement last time and has a place chance.
Selections: #3 The Roaring Rock, #4 Away With Red, #5 American Eagle, #7 Flight Engineer
Fairview, 04.08.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R75.000, 13:05GMT+2
Race Summary: PYRO EDITION is improving and could go one better on a good last performance. BOMBER BAY is holding form and will not go down without a fight for top honours. GLOBAL DRUMBEAT is holding form and should earn some more money. ZAMBEZI SUNSET is capable of improvement and could earn some more money. DIVO MONDO is another who could show a lot more after a gelding operation.
Selections: #1 Pyro Edition, #2 Bomber Bay, #3 Global Drumbeat, #7 Zambezi Sunset
Fairview, 04.08.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R75.000, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: BIRD ON A WING was not disgraced on the Polytrack last time out. She is probably better on the turf and should make a bold bid at a first victory. LADY BOMBER proved in need of her local debut. She will strip fitter and could fight out the finish. AMANATTO has not liked the Polytrack on her last two starts and could make significant improvement if this takes place on the turf. FANTASY GIRL, CELTIQUE, FARAWAY GIRL and ATLANTIC PEARL are all capable of earning some money.
Selections: #3 Bird On A Wing, #2 Amanatto, #1 Lady Bomber, #11 Atlantic Pearl
Fairview, 04.08.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R76.000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: ABOVE THE HORIZON beat a decent filly and could be well ahead of the handicapper. GLOBETONIC is not reliable but can contest the finish. GOLDEN GREY picked up some confidence after a deserved first success and he can get involved with the finish yet again. DUMISANI has got close to winning twice of late and is not out of it. POTENT CAPTAIN is a lot better than the last run would suggest and has a place chance. PISCES and GLOBAL BANKER are both capable of an upset.
Selections: #5 Above The Horizon, #6 Dumisani, #4 Golden Grey, #2 Globetonic
Fairview, 04.08.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R100.000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: GIMME MORE TIME does well at this centre and does look the right one over this course and distance. MAKHACHEV is not reliable but is also not out of it. NO PLACE LIKE HOME and PAINITE are usually competitive and can be involved with the finish. JACK IN THE GREEN does seem better on the Polytrack these days. ANATOLIAN SILVER and NOTHINGELSEMATTERS are both ready to fight out the finish. ALADO’S PRIDE might play a minor role at very best.
Selections: #2 Gimme More Time, #3 Makhachev, #7 Anatolian Silver, #8 Nothingelsematters
Fairview, 04.08.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R106.000, 15:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Some very open races to finish this card. EYJAFJALLAJOKULL is not an easy ride but he has had a successful year and can contest the finish. GIMME’S LADDIE, FOREST SPY, USA’S HOPE and SPEED RACER are all stable companions to the selection and none of them can be ruled out. DUBAI HILLS remains in good form and can fight out the finish yet again. SAHARA CAT and WHATEVER NEXT are capable of better than what they have been showing.
Selections: #8 Eyjafjallajokull, #10 Speed Racer, #6 Forest Spy, #5 Dubai Hills
Fairview, 04.08.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R79.000, 16:00GMT+2
Race Summary: DRESSEDTOTHENINES needed the last run and can show vast improvement. SMASHING has been very consistent and can win a race like this. YOU’RE SO SPECIAL shows promise and could be better than her handicap rating. THREAD OF LIFE and FREE WORLD are consistent and can earn some money. HUGSANDHIGHFIVES and CITY OF DREAMS are better than they showed last time and could pop up and score. BENEATH THE MOON is another to consider.
Selections: #3 Dressedtothenines, #2 You’Re So Special, #4 Thread Of Life, #5 Free World
Fairview, 04.08.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R76.000, 16:35GMT+2
Race Summary: DANISH DYNAMITE was very impressive last time out and can follow up if as good on the turf while BUFFALO BILL was full of running on the turf last time out and does have more wins in his tank. MUNCHKIN is threatening a win and has to be considered a possible victor. ROUGAROUIN was only run out of it late last time. CASINO ACE and CAPE CAPRI are both better than their last runs suggest and would not be surprise winners.
Selections: #3 Danish Dynamite, #2 Buffalo Bill, #4 Munchkin, #8 Casino Ace
Best Win: #3 THE ROARING ROCK
Best Longshot: #3 DRESSEDTOTHENINES
