RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: FAIRVIEW / GREYVILLE@2025.09.05
Fairview, 05.09.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R75.000, 12:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Newcomer LOTUS SILK is a Rafeef filly that represents the strong Richard Fourie-Alan Greeff combination and could score on debut. DARLINGBUDSOFMAY has not been reliable but is capable of scoring. MONEY GALORE has run well in all three of her starts and can be a real threat to these rivals. ICED MARMALADE did not show her best on the Polytrack and is likely to do a lot better on the grass. TORZIA can improve on local debut. TOUCH THE SWORD, WALTZING DOLL and WORLD OF DIAMONDS are all capable of improvement.
Selections: #7 Lotus Silk, #5 Iced Marmalade, #2 Money Galore, #1 Darlingbudsofmay
Fairview, 05.09.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R75.000, 13:05GMT+2
Race Summary: BRIGHT ERUPTION did not show much on debut but put in a much better effort second time around and should make a bold bid at beating these rivals. PICK A POMODORO, GREY WARRIOR and RED ORCHID RISING all have been patchy so far but are capable of improvement. LACRYMA CHRISTI showed improvement on the Polytack but might play a minor role at best. SHORI KAI showed promise on her debut and would not be a surprise winner.
Selections: #4 Bright Eruption, #7 Shori Kai, #3 Grey Warrior, #1 Pick A Pomodoro
Fairview, 05.09.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R75.000, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: BOMBER BAY is consistent and only found one better on the day last time out. That was his first try with blinkers and he does set the standard for this race. QUICK CROWN has improved of late and should fight out the finish. AETHELWULF put in a career best performance last time out and could have more to offer. KEENIA’S PRINCESS is improving and should contest the finish. GOLDEN CROC is unreliable but is also not out of it.
Selections: #1 Bomber Bay, #4 Quick Crown, #5 Aethelwulf, #6 Keenia’s Princess
Fairview, 05.09.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R80.000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: ROTOTO was not disgraced last time and has winning claims in this line-up. BRIGHAM was a well backed maiden winner on local debut and could have more to offer. CATCH THE TUNE has run in better races than this and could upset. FLOWER FESTIVAL is very consistent and can go one better this time. AMAZING COLOURS and ONE GIANT LEAP are capable of better than they have shown recently and could earn some money. BEER WITH THE BOYS seems better on the grass so should be right there at the finish.
Selections: #5 Rototo, #9 Beer With The Boys, #6 Flower Festival, #3 Catch The Tune
Fairview, 05.09.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R85.000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: DANISH DYNAMITE is going about her way very nicely. She won well in her penultimate start and never looked in trouble when following up in August. She can complete her hat-trick. HOERIKWAGGO makes her local debut and should improve. Stable companion SMASHING has been in good shape of late and is not out of it. BONJOUR LA VILLE does seem better than her last run would suggest. MY AMI BEACH likes this course and distance and could earn some money. STRANGE MAGIC is in good form and can earn some money.
Selections: #7 Danish Dynamite, #1 Hoerikwaggo, #3 Bonjour La Ville, #2 Smashing
Fairview, 05.09.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R175.000, 15:25GMT+2
Race Summary: FAIRY KNIGHT is the class act. He only gets going very late in 1200m races so it will be interesting to see this 1000m dash. CLIFF TOP can be very speedy when in the mood and his last run is safely ignored. ANUSCHKA’S WORLD returned to his best when a well backed winner last time and could follow up if in the same mood. FOREST SPY should do better than last time and could earn some money. CROWNED HORNBILL is pacy and could be a threat. SONG OF MYSELF is in good form but tackles stronger this time.
Selections: #1 Fairy Knight, #3 Anuschka’s World, #8 Song Of Myself, #2 Cliff Top
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 05.09.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R110,000, 15:45GMT+2
Race Summary: MASTER DU ROUVRAY made a cracking reappearance after a lengthy break when touched off by the strong favourite Mohave Prince over course and distance last time out with the balance of the field a long way back. He has drawn a little wide but rates the horse to beat. NEXT OF KIN has found some market support in his last two starts. He was well beaten over this distance last run but that was in the soft. BOURBON’S BEAST has improved with each outing and the extra furlong should suit. GOOD OMEN has shown some improvement and can feature.
Selections: #9 MASTER DU ROUVRAY, #7 NEXT OF KIN, #3 BOURBON’S BEAST, #8 GOOD OMEN
Fairview, 05.09.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R76.000, 16:05GMT+2
Race Summary: SILENT TRIGGER makes his local debut and would not be a surprise winner at this level. PRINCE ANTONIO is improving and showed of what he is capable with a good win and deserves respect. GLOBETONIC is capable of contesting the finish. FREE WORLD could earn some minor money. ABOVE THE HORIZON seems a lot better than he showed last time. MR BELVEDERE and POTENT CAPTAIN both have some fair recent form and could be getting ready to win.
Selections: #9 Silent Trigger, #5 Prince Antonio, #7 Mr Belvedere, #8 Potent Captain
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 05.09.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R100,000, 16:20GMT+2
Race Summary: CURIOUS GIRL started at relatively long odds on debut given the strength of the stable and she finished a close-up third in spite of racing green. She is sure to have come on from that run. TERMINAL VELOCITY was strongly supported in the market at her last outing but finished a disappointing fourth. She does seem better than that. CALL ME HARRIET is struggling for a win but is way better than her last effort. ECHO is lightly raced and steps up in trip with a 4kg claimer aboard.
Selections: #2 CURIOUS GIRL, #7 TERMINAL VELOCITY, #4 ECHO, #8 CALL ME HARRIET
Fairview, 05.09.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R90.000, 16:40GMT+2
Race Summary: HEART STEALER clearly found the distance too far last time out. He has been very consistent around this distance and could bounce back to score. PAINITE is better on the Polytrack but picked off a good turf win last time out and can be a threat. STAR COIN is capable of improvement on his local debut. GREEN MANDARIN has been unlucky a couple of times and would not be a surprise winner. MAKHACHEV is in very good form and can go one better. SLAINTE MHATH is not reliable but has a place chance. GEORGE HANDEL can follow up on a well backed recent win.
Selections: #3 Heart Stealer, #1 Painite, #2 Makhachev, #5 Green Mandarin
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 05.09.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R110,000, 16:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Visiting ART NOUVEAU has hardly put a foot wrong at recent outings. She stays the trip well and should go close in a competitive handicap. GRAND OCCASION has been consistent. Her last two have been on the poly but she is in a new stable and the change of routine could bring out the best. PRINCESS PALACE is seldom out of the money and although a length behind FAIZAH last time out, she is 3 kg better off at the weights. HOT STRIKE was much improved in blinkers last run and could surprise.
Selections: #5 ART NOUVEAU, #1 GRAND OCCASION, #4 PRINCESS PALACE, #9 HOT STRIKE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 05.09.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R90,000, 17:30GMT+2
Race Summary: PONGLOA is seldom far off the pace. He has a fair weight but steps up in trip which could suit. GLOBAL MOVEMENT was well beaten by Connoisseur last time out when starting favourite but is now 3 kg better off and can turn the tables. CONNOISSEUR found his best form last run but got a six-point raise for that win which could find him out this time around. PINK DIAMOND showed up well last run over a mile. She could prefer this longer trip and could be competitive.
Selections: #2 PONGOLA, #12 GLOBAL MOVEMENT, #8 CONNOISSEUR, #11 PINK DIAMOND
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 05.09.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R110,000, 18:05GMT+2
Race Summary: MILLION VOICES was narrowly beaten over course and distance from a wide draw. She gets 2.5kg relief from the saddle which could be enough to see her home. FAITHUL NEO comes with some solid Highveld form over the trip. She should be a big factor. SIESTA SUNSET finished just ahead of stable companion Million Voices in their last meeting but is 4.5kg worse off in the handicap. VISION TO ACHIEVE is a distance specialist with the best of the draw. She must have a strong chance again.
Selections: #5 MILLION VOICES, #7 FAITHFUL NEO, #1 VISION TO ACHIEVE, #3 SIESTA SUNSET
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 05.09.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R160,000, 18:40GMT+2
Race Summary: INFINITY EDGE won well on debut and followed up with a smart effort in a feature. She has drawn wide but looks to have plenty of scope for improvement. FORWARD MOTION has been touched off at her last two. She has a useful 4kg claimer up again and could finally go one better. MAGICAL VIEW has drawn wide but has dropped two points in the handicap and together with a 2.5kg claimer up she will be dangerous. Stable companion WARRIOR ROYALE is over her optimum trip and was a beaten favourite last time out.
Selections: #8 INFINITY EDGE, #2 FORWARD MOTION, #9 MAGICAL VIEW, #5 WARRIOR ROYALE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 05.09.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R90,000, 19:15GMT+2
Race Summary: THE MASK ran three times last month and was close-up at his last two. He should be a big runner here. GORGEOUS DUDE has the best of the draw a handy weight and his last win was over course and distance. FIRELIGHTER has been showing signs of returning to form. He is down in class and should run a decent race. SAIL TO THE MOON tried further last run and was not far back. The blinkers are back on over what could be his preferred trip.
Selections: #7 THE MASK, #1 GORGEOUS DUDE, #3 FIRELIGHTER, #2 SAIL TO THE MOON
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 05.09.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R90,000, 19:50GMT+2
Race Summary: LIONS EYE was a beaten favourite last run but has been close-up at recent outings and the step up in trip could suit. PROFESSOR LUPIN showed signs of coming to hand again. He has a stronger rider aboard and can feature in a tough race. ATTABOY has been consistent of late and is over his optimum trip. His claiming apprentice could make all the difference. IN THE BAG is another stepping up in trip. He has shown steady form since arriving from the Cape and the extra could bring out the best.
Selections: #5 LIONS EYE, #9 PROFESSOR LUPIN, #10 ATTABOY, #4 IN THE BAG
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 05.09.2025, Race 9, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R120,000, 20:25GMT+2
Race Summary: SUPER FAST is long overdue a fourth win after finishing runner-up at his last four. He goes well this trip has the best of the draw and a claiming apprentice up. DAPPER has drawn wide but is showing signs of coming to hand for his new stable. VOLDEMORT is over his best trip with a 4kg claimer aboard. He is slightly better drawn than his previous start. KIMBAL O’HARA is seldom far back and has a handy galloping weight.
Selections: #1 SUPER FAST, #11 DAPPER, #8 VOLDEMORT, #6 KIMBALL O’HARA
Best Win: #1 BOMBER BAY #9 MASTER DU ROUVRAY
Best Value Bet: #5 MILLION VOICES
Best Longshot: #5 ROTOTO #3 FIRELIGHTER
