Fairview Polytrack, 03.02.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R75.000, 12:30GMT+2
Race Summary: ICED MARMALADE showed improvement and was only run out of it late last week. She can go one better. RIVER FERN did not show her best on the grass last time out and will be a danger this course and distance. TIMELINE is holding form and would not be a surprise winner. FRENCH ROMANCE should improve off a fair debut and is another to consider.
Selections: #7 Iced Marmalade, #1 River Fern, #8 Timeline, #9 French Romance
Fairview Polytrack, 03.02.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R71.000, 13:05GMT+2
Race Summary: TOTAL ERUPTION showed improvement on local debut and can go one better this time around. OCEAN FLAME and PRICELESS TREASURE are not easy to win with but are threatening a first victory.
Selections: #5 Total Eruption, #1 Ocean Flame, #2 Priceless Treasure, #3 Missouri Flame
Fairview Polytrack, 03.02.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R104.000, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: ENCHANTING CHOICE is carded to run on Friday 30 January. She might win that race and she does look hard to oppose if appearing in this race instead. She clearly needed her last run. She has a very good record on this surface as well. GINGER DELIGHT is in the form of her life and has some good recent wins. She should fight it once again. VIHAAN’S QUEEN is clearly not reliable but is also not out of it. FIRST WISH is talented on her day and can earn some money.
Selections: #1 Enchanting Choice, #3 Ginger Delight, #5 First Wish, #2 Vihaan’s Queen
Fairview Polytrack, 03.02.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R71.000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: MOUNT TREMBLANT is holding his form well and gets a golden opportunity to get a first victory. AETHELWULF is consistent but do not find a strong finish when they really need it. SALAGADOOLA is in good shape and capable of winning but does tries this longer distance. MATT’S WARRIOR put in an improved effort last time out and could have more to offer.
Selections: #4 Mont Tremblant, #3 Salagadoola, #7 Matt’s Warrior, #1 Aethelwulf
Fairview Polytrack, 03.02.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R81.000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: POMEROL is clearly improving and has won two of her last three starts. She carries a penalty for her latest win but can follow up. HAZE AND SMOKE and GORGEOUS CAPE are both in good shape and capable of winning. DESERT CLOUD is not an easy filly to win with but can earn some more money.
Selections: #5 Pomerol, #2 Haze And Smoke, #4 Desert Cloud, #3 Gorgeous Cape
Fairview Polytrack, 03.02.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R80.000, 15:25GMT+2
Race Summary: DOWNING SEVEN is not reliable but he has run better races than this and can threaten these rivals. ON AN IMPULSE was a very easy maiden winner in his penultimate start. He did not repeat that last time out. CURTISS CONDOR clearly needed his local debut and is sure to do a lot better this time. PORFIRIO has won two of his last three starts but is clearly unreliable.
Selections: #3 Downing Seven, #4 On An Impulse, #2 Porfirio, #1 Curtiss Condor
Fairview Polytrack, 03.02.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R100.000, 16:05GMT+2
Race Summary: HOT SAUCE should go close to winning. She seemed to need her last run and can bounce back to beat these rivals. Greeff does have cover for her in the form of HAPPY WIVES who is in the form of her life. HOPE CHEST looked unlucky not to win last time so must be respected with Andrew Fortune in the irons. MAKE BELIEVE has also done enough of late to be concerned with the finish.
Selections: #1 Hot Sauce, #6 Hope Chest, #7 Make Believe, #3 Happy Wives
Fairview Polytrack, 03.02.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1300m, Poly, R80.000, 16:40GMT+2
Race Summary: FLIGHT ENGINEER is not an easy horse to win with. Jockey Andrew Fortune is usually at his very best on horses like him and he might pop up and score. TEEREX has some solid handicap wins of late but will need to carry another penalty. KING RAHUL is in good form and clearly not out of it.
Selections: #12 Flight Engineer, #11 Teerex, #6 King Rahul, #5 Captain Clever
Best Win: #5 TOTAL ERUPTION
Best Longshot: #3 DOWNING SEVEN
