Fairview Polytrack, 01.05.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R71.000, 12:30GMT+2
Race Summary: ALAKAZAM was doing her best work late on local debut. She can go one better, but it is an open looking race. JAZZ AWAY likes the Polytrack and from a good draw should be competitive again. SALAGADOOLA is consistent and should contest the finish. LADY LIMONCELLO found one better on her poly debut and should be a real threat to these rivals. WORLD OF DIAMONDS and LOVELY DANCER are capable of earning money.
Selections: #4 Alakazam, #6 Jazz Away, #2 Lady Limoncello, #3 Salagadoola
Fairview Polytrack, 01.05.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R71.000, 13:05GMT+2
Race Summary: A very open race. MONKEY’S WEDDING is clearly unreliable but does have a chance to win a race of this nature. WORLD SOPRANO is in good form and would not be a surprise winner. Stable companions MAKAJIMA and SILVER OF SUNSHINE are threats. MAKAJIMA has shown a liking for the Polytrack. SILVER OF SUNSHINE makes his local debut and stable jockey Richard Fourie is in the irons. BUGLE is battling to get out of the maiden ranks but does have a place chance. GIMMETHEGOLD showed improvement last time out and could go one better.
Selections: #1 Monkey’s Wedding, #2 World Soprano, #3 Makajima, #4 Sliver Of Sunshine
Fairview Polytrack, 01.05.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1900m, Poly, R71.000, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: A race to go very wide in the Pick 6. MISSOURI FLAME is knocking loudly at the door and could go one place better. TRIP TO PEACE, OSMIUM and LUCA DA WHEELS are all making their local debut trying the polytrack and are capable of improvement. GREY WARRIOR and SATELLITE WORLD both look course and distance suited and are threats. LEIF ERIKSON, EXPLOSIVE GIFT and STRAIGHT RED are others capable of getting involved with the finish and should be included in all permutations.
Selections: #6 Satellite World, #5 Missouri Flame, #9 Straight Red, #8 Explosive Gift
Fairview Polytrack, 01.05.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R108.000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: ZINOVI is the best runner in the race no question. He has only, however, raced once on this surface and that was on local debut. He has been very good on the grass and will be hard to beat if the surface is not an issue for him. FIREALLEY was a game winner just last week and will not go down without a fight as he is proven on the Polytrack. NELSON BAY put up a good fight in his last two but this is toughe. GLOBAL STATE is not reliable but can be earn some money if given a soft lead. KINGDOM OF HEAVEN can also earn.
Selections: #1 Zinovi, #2 Firealley, #4 Nelson Bay, #7 Kingdom Of Heaven
Fairview Polytrack, 01.05.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R80.000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: KLEINZEE attracted betting support when a game winner on local debut. She quickened well that day and may have some wins left in her tank. DESERT CLOUD has improved of late and will not go down without a fight. RHYDIAN makes his local debut and would not be a surprise winner. KING’S SAILOR is unreliable but might play a minor role on this surface. NIGHTJAR is better than his local debut and can be competitive. FLIGHT ENGINEER is not an easy ride but has a place chance. So, too, does MIGHTY MAC who is unreliable.
Selections: #3 Kleinzee, #1 Desert Cloud, #2 Rhydian, #5 Nightjar
Fairview Polytrack, 01.05.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R76.000, 15:25GMT+2
Race Summary: AMANATTO did not show her best last time out. She could bounce back to beat these rivals but it is a very open race. LUCKY CHANCE won last time out and could be better than rated. ENDEARED is unreliable but is also not out of it. MIDNIGHT MUSIC showed what she is capable of with a solid last win and could follow up. NAUTICAL LANDING attracted a lot of betting support last week and was narrowly beaten so could make amends. BLACK PATH has been a disappointment of late but might surprise.
Selections: #5 Amanatto, #4 Midnight Music, #6 Nautical Landing, #8 Black Path
Fairview Polytrack, 01.05.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R108.000, 16:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Some smart horses here. FAIRY KNIGHT continues to hold his fine form and is the one to beat. CRUISE CONTROL reminded us what he is capable of with a good last win and he is a threat once again. MERCANTOUR has a good record on the Polytrack and is course and distance suited. CLIFF TOP is back on his favourite surface and if given a soft lead could upset. MR FOX returned to form with a good win and has a place chance.
Selections: #1 Fairy Knight, #2 Cruise Control, #3 Mercantour, #4 Cliff Top
Fairview Polytrack, 01.05.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R85.000, 16:35GMT+2
Race Summary: A very open last leg of the Pick 6 and a wide spread of runners is advised. ALWAYS SHINING arrives for this after a solid last win and may well follow up. RAVILIOUS is having a good season but is giving weight to all his rivals. COASTAL PATH is consistent but does find it tough to actually win. PRINCE FLORIAN is doing well and must be included in all bets. CHARLIE MALONE and stable companion MUNCHKIN are often competitive and could earn. HONORINE’S GIMMIE might follow up on a maiden victory.
Selections: #4 Always Shining, #5 Prince Florian, #9 Honorine’s Gimmie, #1 Ravilious
Best Win: #1 ZINOVI
Best Longshot: #4 ALWAYS SHINING
