RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: FAIRVIEW POLYTRACK@2026.04.22
Fairview Polytrack, 22.04.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R78.000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: RULES OF CONDUCT has run well in both starts. He has experience on the Polytrack and that could make all the difference at the finish. POWEROFPEACE produced a good debut and would not be a surprise winner but it will be the first time around the bend and her first taste of the Polytrack. FLYING SKITT has not been disgraced in two starts and should earn some more money. ROCKING IN RIO needs to improve to beat those rivals. PRINCESS OF AJIAAL is better than her last run on a soft track and could contest the finish.
Selections: #3 Rules Of Conduct, #4 Powerofpeace, #5 Princess Of Ajiaal, #1 Flying Skitt
Fairview Polytrack, 22.04.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R75.000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: PERFECT IMPACT was unreliable in the Western Cape but he did run some nice races every now and then and could prove hard to beat on local debut trying the Polytrack. FANTINE was also unreliable in the Western Cape but does have a chance on local debut and trying this surface with Richard Fourie in the irons. WARRIOR’S SWORD and GOOD SHINE are battling to get out of the maiden ranks but might earn some minor money. SALOON GIRL is not reliable but is another that should improve on local debut. FONTE has only had the two starts so is also capable of improvement.
Selections: #1 Perfect Impact, #4 Fantine, #8 Fonte, #7 Timeline
Fairview Polytrack, 22.04.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R71.000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: A small field and another very open maiden race where a number of them are making their local debut and trying the Polytrack. MYSTICAL BUTTERFLY did run well a couple of starts ago behind a filly who has won more races since. GALACTIC BEAUTY did not show what she is capable of last time out and could prefer this course and distance. XTINES PRINCESS and ALAKAZAM are both making their local debut for trainers that do well with these type of horses. FLEUR DE VILLE has had 21 starts without a win but could challenge these for top honours. WITHOUT HESITATION has improved of late and could be a threat from a good draw.
Selections: #2 Mystical Butterfly, #3 Xtines Princess, #5 Alakazam, #6 Fleur De Ville
Fairview Polytrack, 22.04.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R108.000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: A small but very interesting field. FIREALLEY beat Zatara Magic over a similar course and distance back in August last year. That is clearly the best form available in this race and he can score if running up to that level of form again. Trainer Alan Greeff has three runners and GLOBAL ALLY has Richard Fourie in the irons. That suggests he is the right one for that trainer but do not be surprised if either BOURNEMOUTH or GOLDEN PEACE finish ahead of that rival. BOURNEMOUTH has done well on this surface before and GOLDEN PEACE is in good shape.
Selections: #2 Firealley, #1 Bournemouth, #4 Global Ally, #3 Golden Peace
Fairview Polytrack, 22.04.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1900m, Poly, R79.000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: A weak race form wise and it may pay to give TERMINAL VELOCITY a nod. The four-year-old filly took 15 starts to crack a victory but she did do it in fine style. She was not disgraced against the boys last time out from a very bad draw and could score this time round. LEBOMBO GOLD seems better than her last run and could contest the finish. LANA VIEW struggled in her first post maiden run but did do a lot better last week and could have a place chance. WELSH STARLET and DARLING GIRL tried a tougher race last time out and could surprise. CHRONICLESOFNANIA is another capable of being a threat when in the right mood.
Selections: #2 Terminal Velocity, #1 Lebombo Gold, #3 Lana View, #4 Welsh Starlet
Fairview Polytrack, 22.04.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R79.000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: A very open race. NAUTICAL LANDING was not disgraced on local debut and could win a race of this nature. OCEAN FLAME is not reliable but can earn some money. ROYAL MERMAID is not easy to trust but did win her latest start and must be respected for that. BLUE PALACE is better than her last run and could earn some money. ROCKIE BLUE likes this surface and can get involved with the finish. LADY LUCK and ENDEARED are both arriving for this after improved performances and are not out of it. COLORAMA won a nice race last time out and could follow up.
Selections: #8 Nautical Landing, #3 Royal Mermaid, #5 Rockie Blue, #6 Lady Luck
Fairview Polytrack, 22.04.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R76.000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: It could pay to go wide in this leg of the Pick 6. MISTER WHISTLE is not reliable, but he is capable of running well this course and distance. AADEHYA is often a dangerous rival when allowed a soft lead but does have a tricky draw. ICED MARMALADE was a very easy winner over this course and distance and could try and make all. WORLD PHAROAH has pace and is better over 1000m. B FIFTYTWO has been a disappointment this year but is capable of an upset. TRAVEL MASTER was caught too far out of his ground last time out and did well to finish where he did. He has blinkers this time and is the likely favourite for the race.
Selections: #9 Mister Whistle, #5 Travel Master, #1 Aadehya, #2 Iced Marmalade
Fairview Polytrack, 22.04.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1300m, Poly, R81.000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Another very open looking handicap. GENOVEFA is not an easy ride but she has shown a liking for this surface and is the one to beat. DANCING IN WINTER did well on this surface before a modest last run on the turf. BACK FOR MORE is usually a danger in races at this level. WHIRLYBIRD seems much better on the turf but cannot be ruled out for a victory. KENTUCKY LASSIE is not reliable but could earn some money. FLOWER FESTIVAL, GOT THE FEVER and BLOWIN IN THE WIND are all unreliable but quite capable of an upset if showing their very best form.
Selections: #7 Genovefa, #9 Dancing In Winter, #1 Back For More, #4 Whirlybird
Best Win: #3 RULES OF CONDUCT
Best Longshot: #8 NAUTICAL LANDING
