RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: FAIRVIEW POLYTRACK@2026.07.24
Fairview Polytrack, 24.07.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 2200m, Poly, R80.000, 12:30GMT+2
Race Summary: A very weak race and many of them are trying this distance for the first time. Anything is possible. MONKEY’S WEDDING has held his form and could score. SAPPHIRE SUN was often competitive without winning when in the Western Cape. She needed her local debut but could be a real threat. CAPRANICA makes his debut but will not be a surprise winner stepped up in distance. DEAD POETS SOCIETY has run well for this jockey a couple of times already and is not out of it. STRAIGHT RED and LYRICS AND SONGS have both shown improvement on the Polytrack and must be respected for that. LUCA DA WHEELS could be the surprise package going this distance. NIGHT IN JAPAN might play a minor role at very best.
Selections: #1 Monkey’s Wedding, #2 Sapphire Sun, #3 Capranica, #4 Dead Poets Society
Fairview Polytrack, 24.07.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R84.000, 13:05GMT+2
Race Summary: REMIND ME OF YOU has run well in both her starts and could go one place better this time around. LUCY’S WORLD has not been at her best on the Polytrack but could be a threat on her best form. SPIRIT OF NICAL makes a local debut and is not out of it. TIPSY showed improvement last time out and is not out of it. WITCHING HOUR is better than some recent form suggests and could surprise. Watch the betting on the newcomers, PRINCESS CHANTE, QUEEN OF CASTILLE and LOVE YOU LOTS.
Selections: #17 Remind Me Of You, #16 Lucy’s World, #1 Spirit Of Nical, #5 Tipsy
Fairview Polytrack, 24.07.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R108.000, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: SONG OF MYSELF continues to win her races and there is no real reason she cannot win this as well. Stable companion INSTAWORTHY is well weighted and is a strong front-runner when in the right mood. LOTUS SILK is better than her last Polytrack performance. UNCONQUERABLE LADY could surprise over this course and distance. ROAMING SPIRIT was making good late progress last week and could be a threat. GENOVEFA is improving and does love the Polytrack. YOU’RE SO SPECIAL is better on the grass
Selections: #2 Song Of Myself, #1 Instaworthy, #4 Lotus Silk, #3 Sports Fan
Fairview Polytrack, 24.07.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R104.000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: A tricky race and it could be worth going wide in the Pick 6. THE WINTER LAKE and FRENCH FLAME are all effective over this track and distance so must be respected. AUGUSTA ROSSO has run well in better races than this and should be competitive. CIAN THE CONQUEROR, DUPONT EMERALD and OVERTURE could surprise.
Selections: #7 Augusta Rosso, #6 French Flame, #9 Dupont Emerald, #10 North Star
Fairview Polytrack, 24.07.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R104.000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Trainer Alan Greeff has a decent hand to play in this race. KLEINZEE has been very impressive with some solid wins on the Polytrack and will have Richard Fourie in the irons. INGQWELE has won his last three starts but has a tougher task under a penalty. LAGUNA VERDE and ABOVE THE HORIZON have been consistent of late and are not out of it. WORLD CHOICE is in good shape and can make the frame.
Selections: #1 Kleinzee, #3 Ingqwele, #8 World Choice, #5 Laguna Verde
Fairview Polytrack, 24.07.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R88.000, 15:25GMT+2
Race Summary: A very open race and we need to go wide in all the exotics, particularly the Pick 6. GREEN PLANET is well drawn and could bounce back to score. SILVER OF SUNSHINE is capable of scoring over this course and distance. PYRO EDITION is threatening to win and must be respected. SILENT TRIGGER and RUN THE WORLD are also hinting that they could score soon.
Selections: #10 Green Planet, #4 Pyro Edition, #11 Silent Trigger, #12 Run The World
Fairview Polytrack, 24.07.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R200.000, 16:00GMT+2
Race Summary: A very interesting race. Only 8 runners carded for this and trainer Alan Greeff has five of them. Which one of them will prevail? Jockey Richard Fourie rides CHATTERBOX. She was a recent maiden winner and could have more to offer this distance. Stable companion FIRST OFFICER is consistent and clearly not out of it. GIMMETHATWORLDCUP was impressive second time out and should run well for Andrew Fortune. CASPERITA showed she is back to best with a handicap win and will not go down easily. Dean Smith has two runners. JUST CARTER is consistent and ran on well in his recent defeat and is not out of it. GLOBAL THRILLER did not show his best last time out but might make the frame. FYFIELD LEGEND is consistent but this is a tougher race.
Selections: #7 Chatterbox, #5 Just Carter, #1 First Officer, #3 Gimmethatworldcup
Fairview Polytrack, 24.07.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R88.000, 16:35GMT+2
Race Summary: A very open last race handicap. KING VISERYS was caught too far back last time out but can win a race over this course and distance. TEEREX remains in very good form and should fight it out once again. HONORINE’S GIMMIE is consistent and must be respected for that. REAL WAR is in good form and should contest the finish. Stable companion TRAVEL MASTER enjoyed front-running tactics last time and may follow up. MIO DESTINO showed improvement last time out and is another to consider.
Selections: #5 King Viserys, #6 Real War, #2 Teerex, #4 Honorine’s Gimmie
Best Win: #2 SONG OF MYSELF
Best Value Bet: #5 KING VISERYS
Best Longshot: #5 KING VISERYS
