Fairview, 27.02.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R78.000, 11:50GMT+2
Race Summary: JUST CARTER has only found one better in two of his three starts. That experience should serve him well and he is the one to beat. Trainer Alan Greeff has beaten that rival twice so should know the strength of his form. He sends out a few newcomers and the best of them could the Richard Fourie ridden OLAF THE STOUT, an Erik The Red colt. FLYING SKITT did not show much on debut but is capable of improvement.
Selections: #6 Just Carter, #7 Olaf The Stout, #8 Plan Of Action, #4 Flying Skitt
Fairview, 27.02.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R75.000, 12:25GMT+2
Race Summary: PANJANDRUM has been costly to follow but is long overdue a first success and she really should beat these rivals. STONE OF SCONE has some fair form and does look the main danger. FOCAL POINT has a place chance in this line-up. ENGELANDPARK has improved of late and would not be a surprise winner. LADY LIMONCELLO has held form and could make the frame.
Selections: #1 Panjandrum, #2 Stone Of Scone, #7 Lady Limoncello, #4 Engelandpark
Fairview, 27.02.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R71.000, 13:00GMT+2
Race Summary: BLAME IT ON ME is threatening to win and this may well be his day. HONORINE’S GIMMIE makes a local debut and would not be a surprise winner. ALESIAN BEAU likes it back on the turf and could do even better this time. HERE COMES JOHNNY has shown improvement of late and should contest the finish.
Selections: #5 Blame It On Me, #4 Here Comes Johnny, #2 Honorine’s Gimmie, #3 Alesian Beau
Fairview, 27.02.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R81.000, 13:35GMT+2
Race Summary: GREEN ISLE has improved in her new yard and is clearly the one to beat if as good on turf. FLIGHT DISPLAY has won a couple times on the grass and has held her form nicely on the Polytrack so would not be a surprise winner. SPOIL YOURSELF showed what she is capable of with a good win last time out and can double up. CHRONICLESOFNANIA broke a long losing run when flying up late to win her latest start and could earn some money.
Selections: #2 Green Isle, #1 Flight Display, #4 Spoil Yourself, #7 Chroniclesofnania
Fairview, 27.02.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R200.000, 14:10GMT+2
Race Summary: ANOTHERDANCEFORME is a class act and has only suffered one defeat in 7 starts. That was in her latest start when she did not handle the HWB Kenilworth bend. She returns from a break but it would come as a shock if she did not beat these rivals. ROYAL CITY GIRL and EAST COAST GIRL have done their best on the Polytrack but are not bad on the grass. MATCH THAT has been unreliable but could be the main threat to ANOTHERDANCEFORME.
Selections: #1 Anotherdanceforme, #4 Match That, #2 Royal City Girl, #3 East Coast Girl
Fairview, 27.02.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R95.000, 14:45GMT+2
Race Summary: LAGUNA VERDE has a very bad draw to overcome but is in good form and can score. SILVONIAN was caught very late last time out and can go one better. CHEEKY LADDIE does not always show his best form but is distance suited and would not be a surprise winner. EXQUISITE have been good of late and is others to consider.
Selections: #2 Laguna Verde, #3 Silvonian, #4 Cheeky Laddie, #6 Exquisite
Fairview, 27.02.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R80.000, 15:20GMT+2
Race Summary: WISSA’S ON FIRE quickened nicely to win his latest start and can follow up under a penalty. CORAL CREEK showed a form return and could go one better. SUN SPECTACULAR and PEDRO are both effective over this track and trip and should be included in all of the exotics. XPLICIT CONTENT has improved on the Polytrack but has also won on the grass so is another to respect.
Selections: #3 Wissa’s On Fire, #2 Coral Creek, #5 Sun Spectacular, #11 Xplicit Content
Fairview, 27.02.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R80.000, 15:55GMT+2
Race Summary: KING CELTILLUS has only been modest of late but is back on the grass and could score on local debut. DAS GUTE bumped a tough field last time out but is more at home in a race like this and should contest the finish. IZANAMI has been good on the Polytrack of late but will need to show that form on the turf. GLOBETONIC is capable of getting involved with the finish.
Selections: #8 King Celtillus, #1 Das Gute, #6 Izanami, #7 Globetonic
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.02.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R100,000, 16:15GMT+2
Race Summary: MIDNIGHT HOUR is making giant strides of improvement and with the valuable weight off her back, should go close to winning. WATERMELON SUGAR gets a cozy draw on debut and could be competitive first up, watch the betting trends as race time nears. WINTER BLESSING has a strong place chance as does BELLIGERENT.
Selections: #8 MIDNIGHT HOUR, #2 WATERMELON SUGAR, #3 WINTER BLESSING, #5 BELLIGERENT
Fairview, 27.02.2026, Race 9, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R88.000, 16:35GMT+2
Race Summary: NORTH STAR is better than she showed last time out and could bounce back to beat these rivals. Stable companion HAPPY WIVES has been in good form of late and is not out of it. HOPE CHEST won a good race on the Polytrack so it will be interesting to see if she is as good on the grass. CHERRY OH BABY. WHIRLYBIRD, ALEX MILLER and BLOWIN IN THE WIND are all capable of running well this course and distance.
Selections: #9 Alex Miller, #2 North Star, #6 Whirlybird, #1 Happy Wives
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.02.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1800m, Poly, R90,000, 16:55GMT+2
Race Summary: DREAM DECISION has been accepting the blinkers, gets a neat draw, weight off again and rates the one to beat. BLACK PLATINA keeps running second but will surely get it all right one of these days – big runner. CAPTAIN’S DYNASTY is starting to learn what racing is all about and can go very close. Respect and include for all bets. WONDERFUL TONIGHT could be the value for the quartet as he can build on the last run which was his local debut.
Selections: #3 DREAM DECISION, #5 BLACK PLATINA, #8 CAPTAIN’S DYNASTY, #2 WONDERFUL TONIGHT
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.02.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1800m, Poly, R90,000, 17:30GMT+2
Race Summary: ETZEBETH did well to get going again in the race last time to go close in third place. He is excellently bred and clearly still learning what racing is all about. This is his third run of his life and he gets cranked up to a distance he should relish. Sparkling winning chance. WANDER SKITT is the interesting runner and could represent some value and give some cheek all the way home, respect and include. DEVIL’S PEAK can start doing a touch better and could be the value for the places. MANIKONGO is probably the best-bred horse on the card but he has not realized that just yet. His run on the poly last time was his best thus far – do not ignore this one as surely, he is better than his form suggests.
Selections: #5 ETZEBETH, #4 WANDER SKITT, #3 DEVIL’S PEAK, #1 MANIKONGO
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.02.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1800m, Poly, R120,000, 18:05GMT+2
Race Summary: HIGH QUEUE comes from an in-form stable that are running at a very good strike rate! This gelding is taking time for the next victory but is running well and could be ready for the winner’s box again. HARUN AL RASHID is a massive player for top honors. Ignore his last run, that puts him right near the top in the pecking order, go close. MOHAVE PRINCE and TEE DOG can never be dismissed from any quartet perm.
Selections: #5 HIGH QUEUE, #2 HARUN AL RASHID, #1 MOHAVE PRINCE, #3 TEE DOG
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.02.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R125,000, 18:40GMT+2
Race Summary: DRICUS has won two out of his last three starts. His last win showed guts and determination and off his rating of 75, he could be generously rated. He is the firm first suggestion as he has progression stamped all over him! WINTER WAVES is always in form and always has strong each way claims. EVENTIDOR is seven years old but winning and performing like a three-year-old – obvious chance and pretty much the same comment can be made for IBUTHO, customary very competitive efforts should come from them.
Selections: #2 DRICUS, #3 WINTER WAVES, #9 EVENTIDOR, #8 IBUTHO
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.02.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R110,000, 19:15GMT+2
Race Summary: DE VLUGGE clicked through the gears smartly to win cozily last time under Keagan De Melo whom has stuck with the ride. There is no reason to suggest she cannot follow up. QHAWEKAZI has solid form and solid each way claims. SPINMYANGELSPIN clearly has some ability and can put her last run behind her. Chance as she seems very capable but it must be noted that stable rider Sean Veale has gone with the horse. Must have been a tough call as both have bright chances. SIBERIAN WINTER is one to take seriously.
Selections: #7 DE VLUGGE, #10 QHAWEKAZI, #1 SPINMYANGELSSPIN, #2 SIBERIAN WINTER
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.02.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R125,000, 19:50GMT+2
Race Summary: FATE OF FORTUNE brings solid form into the contest, finished second to Magic Surprise last time and is confidently selected to go one more. UNITED NATION needs not much introduction as his winning form on the surface is there for all to see. Ignore the last run and he can easily bounce right back to winning ways. CHARA SANDS and SMORGASBOARD need to be included on the shortlist.
Selections: #7 FATE OF FORTUNE, #1 UNITED NATION, #6 CHARA SANDS, #2 SMORGASBORD
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.02.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R100,000, 20:25GMT+2
Race Summary: PROFESSOR LUPIN starts from the ace gate and comes into the race with high confidence after beating The Mask last time and can follow up. His overall form is ultra-consistent. Stable mate, ULTRA QUICK is the exacta selection and he can never be dismissed from any bets. ILHA DA ORANGE should be in the first four and INDECENT PROPOSAL is never far off the action and the same can be expected today, chance.
Selections: #1 PROFESSOR LUPIN, #9 ULTRA QUICK, #5 ILHA DA ORANGE, #2 INDECENT PROPOSAL
Best Win: #1 ANOTHERDANCEFORME #2 DRICUS
Best Value Bet: #1 MANIKONGO
Best Longshot: #2 LAGUNA VERDE #1 MANIKONGO
