RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: FAIRVIEW@2025.10.24
Fairview, 24.10.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R71.000, 12:35GMT+2
Race Summary: UP UP AND AWAY is an Erik The Red filly who would not be a surprise winner on her debut. RIPSNORTER was not disgraced in her two KwaZulu-Natal starts and is capable of winning on local debut. POMEROL is probably looking for further but can improve on her two Western Cape starts and is likely to improve on local debut. GOLDEN ALEXIA did not shape on the Polytrack last time out but can contest the finish back on the grass. FIVE STAR MAGIC is consistent and threatening to win but is coming back from a lengthy break. MIDNIGHT MUSIC has a place chance this course and distance. MONEY GALORE is better than her last run and could earn some money.
Selections: #3 Up Up And Away, #1 Ripsnorter, #4 Golden Alexia, #2 Pomerol
Fairview, 24.10.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R71.000, 13:10GMT+2
Race Summary: MISSOURI FLAME did not run badly on debut and should improve after a change of trainers. MAGNUS THE GOOD liked it back on the turf and can fight out the finish once again. ORIGINATOR found betting support in his second start and looks capable of improvement. PIBE DE ORO was caught out of his ground last week and could be a threat this track and trip. AMERICAN EAGLE and CLIFFIE CLAVIN are both battling to win a race but are capable of earning some money.
Selections: #5 Missouri Flame, #4 Magnus The Good, #3 Pibe De Oro, #1 Originator
Fairview, 24.10.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R81.000, 13:45GMT+2
Race Summary: HOERIKWAGGO has not been reliable but she did show improvement last time out and could do even better this time around with jockey Richard Fourie aboard her. KAMAKAZI has tended to be unreliable but was touched off last time out and her trainer has his yard in good form. ONE GIANT LEAP has improved of late and is clearly not out of it. STRANGE MAGIC is battling to win but has a place chance. TWILIGHT BAY will like it back on the grass over a distance that suits her so should be included in all the exotics. LADY BOMBER and stable companion CHRONICLESOFNANIA are both capable of earning some money.
Selections: #2 Hoerikwaggo, #1 Kamakazi, #3 One Giant Leap, #4 Strange Magic
Fairview, 24.10.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R85.000, 14:20GMT+2
Race Summary: ROYAL KINGDOM is clearly improving and was a good winner of a handicap last time out. He is back on the turf and he only picked up a 5-point penalty for that win so may well follow up. PYROMANIAC has not been reliable but is capable of contesting the finish. ASINANTANGA returns from a break but is not out of it. PEDRO and SILVERY SURFER both ran well at this track last time out and can be dangers. GARDEN SUN and SILENT TRIGGER both have place chances in this line-up.
Selections: #2 Royal Kingdom, #5 Silvery Surfer, #3 Asinantanga, #1 Pyromaniac
Fairview, 24.10.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 2400m, Turf, R91.000, 14:55GMT+2
Race Summary: HOME REEF has made good progress of late and is coming off some solid wins so could pull off the hat-trick. FIRST WISH has not shown her best of late but is the best weighted runner under the conditions of this race. GEORGE HANDEL quickened nicely to win on the Polytrack last week and is even better on the grass so is a threat once again. FLIGHT DISPLAY is in good form and can contest the finish. More was expected from WOOD WORLD on local debut but he is not at his very best on a soft track and it may be that way again on Friday.
Selections: #2 Home Reef, #1 George Handel, #3 Flight Display, #4 First Wish
Fairview, 24.10.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R250.000, 15:30GMT+2
Race Summary: GOLDEN PALM was beaten on her debut but she has impressed with four smart wins since then. She looked better than ever when winning at Hollywoodbets Greyville in July and should be hard to beat in this line-up. Stable companions KING PRAWN and AUGUSTA ROSSO are still improving and are talented but should not beat her. WILD FIG is consistent and could earn some money. ALL SYSTEMS GO ran well on debut and was an easy winner of his second start. He might well be the biggest threat to GOLDEN PALM. ARLU needs to find a few lengths to win a race like this.
Selections: #1 Golden Palm, #4 All Systems Go, #2 King Prawn, #6 Augusta Rosso
Fairview, 24.10.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R100.000, 16:05GMT+2
Race Summary: RIVERSTONE has been competitive off his handicap mark and could win on local debut but in a very open race. THE WINTER LAKE has struggled around the turn in the Western Cape and should improve back up the straight. Stable companions BEECHAMWOOD BOY, MASKED VIGILANTE and COASTAL PATH are all consistent and not out of it. Interestingly, stable jockey Richard Fourie is on VIRGIN RIVER who makes her local debut for trainer Alan Greeff and she could score. BUFFALO BILL continues to improve and can follow up on a narrow last win.
Selections: #3 Riverstone, #8 Buffalo Bill, #7 Virgin River, #1 The Winter Lake
Fairview, 24.10.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R79.000, 16:40GMT+2
Race Summary: BENEATH THE MOON has been in good form of late and could win a race like this but it is very competitive and a wide spread of runners may be needed to survive this leg of the Pick 6. GAELIC DANCER showed vast improvement last time and could have more to offer. MAKE BELIEVE did well to win her second start and could have more to offer trying the turf. Stable companion HAPPY WIVES is better than what she has been showing of late and could contest the finish. QUEEN OF JAZZ and stable companion ICE CAP are capable of running well this course and distance. DARLINGBUDSOFMAY and CAPE CAPRI are two others worth considering.
Selections: #12 Beneath The Moon, #2 Make Believe, #11 Cape Capri, #13 Ice Cap
Best Win: #1 GOLDEN PALM
Best Longshot: #3 RIVERSTONE
