Race Summary: AUGUSTA ROSSO reminded us of what she is capable with a good last run. She can go one better this time around. ROYAL CITY GIRL returned to form with a good win last time out. She likes this surface and can be a threat once again. NORTH STAR has been a disappointment of late in that she is not winning but she is consistent and is not out of it. SILVAN MISTRESS did not show her best last time out but could make the frame.
Selections: #2 Augusta Rosso, #1 Royal City Girl, #4 North Star, #3 Silvan Mistress

Race Summary: TRIPPING THUNDER was an easy winner last time out and could have more to offer. Stable companions for trainer Dean Smith, FRENCH FLAME and LAGUNA VERDE, are both overdue a winning turn and should be right there at the finish again. WILD FIG has a string of runner-up performances and is clearly not out of it.
Selections: #4 Tripping Thunder, #3 French Flame, #2 Laguna Verde, #6 Wild Fig

Race Summary: ONE DANCE is improving and was beaten by an in-form rival last time out. She tries a bit further and the Polytrack but could prove too good for these rivals. TWILIGHT BAY may be better on the turf but is capable of getting into the mix of things once again. GREENLIGHT DANCER is in good form and must be respected. JUST ONE KISS is another that could make the frame.
Selections: #1 One Dance, #9 Just One Kiss, #7 Greenlight Dancer, #4 Twilight Bay
Fairview Polytrack, 23.01.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R90.000, 14:20GMT+2
Race Summary: GALILEO STAR has ability and could make all the running. SPEED RACER went too quickly for his own good last time and can do better on this occasion but does carry a lot of weight. KINGS AGAIN is consistent and clearly in with a winning claim. ONE TOO MANY has improved of late and should contest the finish.
Selections: #4 Galileo Star, #3 One Too Many, #2 Kings Again, #1 Speed Racer
Fairview Polytrack, 23.01.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R79.000, 14:55GMT+2
Race Summary: ALEX MILLER is a difficult ride. She stops late when hitting the front and it might take a ride from an apprentice to get her to score again. IZANAMI looked unlucky not to win her latest start and she is improving so will be a big runner in this race. FARAWAY GIRL is not reliable but she did run well in her latest outing and could earn some more money. ENDEARED won her last start and could be better than rated.
Selections: #1 Alex Miller, #2 Izanami, #3 Faraway Girl, #4 Endeared
Fairview Polytrack, 23.01.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R94.000, 15:30GMT+2
Race Summary: GLOBAL ALLY is consistent but he is also not an easy horse to win with. He drops in class and looks the right one for this race. GLOBAL STATE has improved of late but this is a tougher race. RICHARDTHEFEARLESS did not show his best last time out but is a tough horse to catch when he is on song. DYNALLEY has been consistent of late and could earn some more money.
Selections: #1 Global Ally, #3 Global State, #4 Richardthefearless, #7 Dynalley
Fairview Polytrack, 23.01.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R71.000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: DISRUPTIVE has only been modest so far but has made the trick from the Western Cape and could be ready for a winning turn. GREY WARRIOR, O SPACE O and AETHELWULF have all shown they are capable of winning a maiden race and must be respected for that.
Selections: #8 Disruptive, #2 Grey Warrior, #3 O Space O, #4 Aethelwulf
Fairview Polytrack, 23.01.2026, Race 9, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R80.000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: SPOIL YOURSELF is not an easy horse to ride but she has been good over this track and trip and could be a threat. PYROMANIAC has improved of late and is not out of it. BLACKBERRY BREEZE is consistent and should be included in all permutations. BAHAMIAN BEAT was a very easy maiden winner and could have more to offer.
