Race Summary: TAKE YOUR TIME has not won for some time but is usually not far behind at the finish. This course and distance suits her. LIZWILE ILALI makes her local debut for an in-form trainer. ONO NO KOMACHI is improving and should fight out the finish once again. HAT MONTERA has improved of late and should be right there at the finish. DARLING HARBOUR is one-paced at the finish but is better than her last run would suggest and is not out of it.
Selections: #6 Take Your Time, #3 Ono No Komachi, #4 Hat Montera, #5 Darling Harbour
Fairview Polytrack, 22.08.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R71.000, 13:30GMT+2
Race Summary: DESERT CLOUD looked very unlucky not to win on local debut. She can go one better this time. GOLDEN ALEXIA was not beaten far in most of her runs in Gauteng and should be a real danger to these rivals. NIGHT IN JAPAN has improved on this surface and could be involved with the finish yet again. AMANATTO has not shown much at this centre and need to do more to win a race. BUDDLEJA is better than her last run would suggest and can earn some money. SALAGADOOLA showed some improvement last time out and has a place chance.
Selections: #1 Desert Cloud, #2 Golden Alexia, #3 Night In Japan, #7 Salagadoola
Fairview Polytrack, 22.08.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R71.000, 14:05GMT+2
Race Summary: PIBE DE ORO looked like he had matters in hand before being outbattled last time over this track and distance. He should make a bold bid at beating these rivals. BANDMASTER was not disgraced on local debut and can go one better this time. STAND UP has improved of late and will be winning a race sometime soon. MONOCLE does not look an easy ride but can earn some money. DUCHESS OF SEVILLE is battling to win a race. PILGRIM makes his local debut trying the Polytrack.
Selections: #1 Pibe De Oro, #2 Bandmaster, #3 Stand Up, #4 Monocle
Fairview Polytrack, 22.08.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R94.000, 14:40GMT+2
Race Summary: PRISCILLA MAISEY was full of running when scoring in her first crack on this surface and could have more wins in her tank. BOSNAY seems a bit better than her last two runs and has a place chance. TREASURE HUNT has been good of late and can contest the finish again. ARABIAN RED could get involved with the finish if showing her best side. CONCERTO is not reliable but quite capable of being competitive once again. ALADO’S HABIT has scope for improvement and is another to consider.
Selections: #3 Priscilla Maisey, #5 Treasure Hunt, #4 Bosnay, #6 Arabian Red
Fairview Polytrack, 22.08.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R105.000, 15:15GMT+2
Race Summary: ENCHANTING CHOICE has impressed in both her local wins but does now need to show that form on the Polytrack. GIMME’S LASSIE is not an easy ride but should be right there at the finish yet again. SWEETIE DARLING has won her last three starts, including on this surface in her latest. MONTELENA remains in good form and would not be a surprise winner. CATCH YOUR BREATH and UNCONQUERABLE LADY could also get into the mix.
Selections: #6 Enchanting Choice, #1 Gimme’s Lassie, #2 Sweetie Darling, #3 Montelena
Fairview Polytrack, 22.08.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R95.000, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: FEW DOLLARS MORE has to give weight to all his rivals but loves the Polytrack and sets the standard for the race. ONE SCOTCH showed improvement in his latest start and can contest the finish again. WILLIAM THE FIRST likes this surface and is not out of it. HOLOCENE is a lot better than his last run would suggest and could surprise. KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is back to his best and was a good winner last time out so could follow up.
Selections: #1 Few Dollars More, #3 One Scotch, #6 Kingdom Of Heaven, #5 Holocene
Fairview Polytrack, 22.08.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R175.000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: FAIRY KNIGHT is the class act and has won many times on the Polytrack so gets the narrow choice. Stable companion MERCANTOUR has improved on this surface of late and will not go down without a fight. Another Alan Greeff-trained runner, DUBAI HILLS, is very brave but this is his toughest take to date. PAS DE NOM is clearly a lot better than his last run. CHAMPONELLE ran well above her rating when scoring last time out. GOLDEN PAVILION is in the form of his life and is not out of it.
Selections: #1 Fairy Knight, #2 Mercantour, #7 Golden Pavilion, #6 Champonelle
Fairview Polytrack, 22.08.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R80.000, 17:00GMT+2
Race Summary: ROYAL KINGDOM ran behind two decent stable companions in his first two starts. He impressed in his debut win after being gelded and could have a lot more to offer. WINTER WARFARE did too much too soon last time out and should run well from a good draw. WORDSWORTH is clearly better than his last run and does like this surface so must be respected for that. CRUZADOR is consistent and can contest the finish. KING VISERYS and CASINO ACE are both capable of being dangers if running to their best Western Cape form.
Selections: #1 Royal Kingdom, #2 Winter Warfare, #3 Wordsworth, #4 Stroopsoet
Best Win: #1 FEW DOLLARS MORE
Best Longshot: #6 TAKE YOUR TIME
