Race Summary: SEATTLE GLOW showed improvement last time out and will be a threat if repeating that run. WEEKEND IN ASPEN was not disgraced on debut and should be right there at the finish.

Fairview Polytrack, 14.08.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R92.000, 13:30GMT+2
Race Summary: GLOBETONIC is not reliable but can also never be ruled out of it. SMIDDYBURN has some ability. RHYDIAN is clearly a lot better than his last two runs and should be a threat. REAL WAR and HOODWINKED are both in good shape and must be respected. MIO DESTINO has been at his best on the Polytrack and could be ready for a winning turn
Selections: #10 Mio Destino, #4 Smiddyburn, #7 Real War, #8 Hoodwinked
Fairview Polytrack, 14.08.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R88.000, 14:05GMT+2
Race Summary: A very open looking race and it may pay to go wide in this leg of the Pick 6. MY LUCKY CHARM makes his local debut and would not be a surprise winner. SUPREME JUDGE is consistent but is giving weight to all his rivals. STAR IN MOTION showed improvement last time out and was heavily supported that day so could have more to offer. HALF MOON ISLAND was an easy winner last time out and could be better than rated. READY FOR THE ROAD is consistent and picked up a confidence-boosting success so must be included in all bets. SILENT TRIGGER is in good form and threatening to score so must be respected as well. SLIVER OF SUNSHINE is not reliable but can win a race of this nature
Selections: #5 Sliver Of Sunshine, #4 My Lucky Charm, #1 Supreme Judge, #6 Ready For The Road
Fairview Polytrack, 14.08.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R175.000, 14:40GMT+2
Race Summary: A small field but it is quite decent. ZINOVI has won 11 races and looks the right one yet again. FIREALLEY is competitive over most distances and can make the frame once again. LANCIAFIAMME has beaten ZINOVI before but not recently. He is well held on his recent runs behind that rival. GOLD GIBOSKI has improved of late and is seeking a hat-trick so should be respected. TENJIKU is capable of improvement and has a place chance.
Selections: #1 Zinovi, #3 Lanciafiamme, #5 Gold Giboski, #2 Firealley
Fairview Polytrack, 14.08.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R96.000, 15:15GMT+2
Race Summary: GOLDEN PALM is a high-class filly. She returns from a break and is sprinting again so does look hard to oppose. She has back-up in some inform stable companions. SILVA CITY is better than her last run suggests and could be a threat. DUPONT EMERALD is capable of contesting the finish. LOTUS SILK is at her best on the turf but could earn some money.EXCEEDINGLY GLAM has impressed with some good wins on this surface and is clearly not out of it. INSTAWORTHY is off form but is weighted to win.
Selections: #1 Golden Palm, #3 Exceedingly Glam, #2 Silva City, #5 Dupont Emerald
Fairview Polytrack, 14.08.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R175.000, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: A very competitive-looking race. HELIOTROPE and EPIKLEROS have both been at the top of their game this year and would not be surprise winners. ENCHANTING CHOICE is consistent but might be stretched this longer distance. So, for that matter, could BENEATH THE CLOUDS. FAMILY POWER and HOMING PIGEON are consistent and could earn some money.
Selections: #6 Heliotrope, #1 Epikleros, #5 Family Power, #11 Homing Pigeon
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 14.08.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R100,000, 16:07GMT+2
Race Summary: BARRY’S BOY has put in two smart efforts on the poly and can deny the handicappers carrying a fair weight in this Open Maiden. DONMAGOO is a poly specialist and seldom far behind. He got a two-point relief after his last race and should put in another good shift. CARTEL QUEEN has shown her best recent form on the poly and with a 2.5kg claimer aboard she only shoulders 51.5 kg which will make her dangerous. TASK FORCE carries top weight but was a good second on the poly last run. He is lightly raced and can still improve.
Selections: #6 BARRY’S BOY, #5 DONMAGOO, #4 CARTEL QUEEN, #3 TASK FORCE
Fairview Polytrack, 14.08.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R88.000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Another open race. The Western Cape visitors ROYAL INFLUENCER and GLENALMOND both arrive for this after success and can score again. SAN QUINTIN carries a penalty for his easy last win but deserves some respect. TERMINAL VELOCITY could be a threat on best form. CREPUSCOLO and INTUITIVE SPIRIT both make their local debut and could improve.
Selections: #6 Glenalmond, #1 Royal Influencer, #3 Flash Lightning, #10 Terminal Velocity
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 14.08.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R140,000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: MUSTANG HIGHWAY made marked improvement second time out, first run on the poly. That form has held up fairly well and he can go one better. LE CONCIERGE makes his local debut. He boasts some fair Cape form and if taking to the poly he will be a contender. WHISKY SOUL is a well-bred first timer and one to watch in the betting. NAUTICAL FIRE looks held by Mustang Highway on their last meeting but both are lightly raced and should improve further.
Selections: #2 MUSTANG HIGHWAY, #1 LE CONCIERGE, #7 WHISKY SOUL, #3 NAUTICAL FIRE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 14.08.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R90,000, 17:20GMT+2
Race Summary: ANYTHING BUT LOVE is lightly raced but has shown ability. She has gone well on the poly which is a bonus. THAT’S A GIMME just failed in her local debut on the poly. It can be tough for recently turned three-year-olds at this time of the year but she does not face a strong field. DEE DAY has her first run for a new stable. She is a long-time battler but the change of routine could see her up her game. BRIGHTSUNNYDAY is a lightly raced five-year-old. Her last run is best ignored and she has the best of the draw.
Selections: #9 ANYTHING BUT LOVE, #5 THAT’S A GIMME, #4 DEE DAY, #1 BRIGHTSUNNYDAY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 14.08.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R140,000, 17:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Tough handicap. BANGKOK MAGIC looks progressive and showed up well first run out of the maidens. He goes well on the poly and should run another good race. OMKHULU BOSS makes his poly debut but had come on nicely before shedding his maiden. He also looks progressive. SHE’S A MACHINE seldom puts in a bad effort and can feature in this line-up. SKY ROCKET makes his local debut first up on the poly. He is lightly raced and the change of surface could bring out better.
Selections: #3 BANGKOK MAGIC, #4 OMKHULU BOSS, #2 SHE’S A MACHINE, #1 SKY ROCKET
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 14.08.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R90,000, 18:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Wide open handicap. HEAVEN’S WILL goes well on the poly. He has been trying a furlong further at recent starts but has the benefit of a 2.5kg claimer which could see him home. MASTER SILVANO has shown his best recent form over the course and distance. He is 2.5kg better off with KAAPSE KLOPSE on their last meeting and should be able to turn the tables from the best of the draw. INDECENT PROPOSAL is back on his preferred surface and has useful form over course and distance.
Selections: #4 HEAVEN’S WILL, #1 MASTER SILVANO, #7 INDECENT PROPOSAL, #8 KAAPSE KLOPSE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 14.08.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R170,000, 19:05GMT+2
Race Summary: BLAZING FURY won well last run under a big weight. He got a four-point penalty for that win and now steps up in class. However, he does look capable of following up. KALAHARI ROLLER has been in solid form of late and goes well over course and distance. He met stronger at his last two and can feature off a light weight. KYTHERA has run two smart races on the poly. She is up in class but has a handy weight and rates a strong chance. MIGHTY ZAMBEZI has been much improved with cheek pieces and on the poly. Also up in class but with a handy weight.
Selections: #7 BLAZING FURY, #1 KALAHARI ROLLER, #2 KYTHERA, #4 MIGHTY ZAMBEZI
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 14.08.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R170,000, 19:40GMT+2
Race Summary: PLEASE BE TRUE won well first run on the poly starting at cramped odds. He got a four-point raise in the handicap but De Melo stays wit the ride and they can follow up. SUNDANCE KID is a course and distance specialist. He was well beaten behind Please Be True last time out but had the worst of the draw. He is now 3kg better off and can turn the tables. ROYAL SWORD is way better than his last run. His previous poly form was solid and at best will go close. AFRICAN DUSK has been consistent of late and with his light weight can finish in the money.
Selections: #5 SUNDANCE KID, #3 PLEASE BE TRUE, #8 ROYAL SWORD, #6 AFRICAN DUSK
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 14.08.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R80,000, 20:15GMT+2
Race Summary: RED CORAL is down in trip but goes very well on the poly and could prove difficult to beat in this line-up. OKLAHOMA GIRL started favourite when taking on stronger last time out. Down in class she should be among the leading contenders. AUTUMN RUSH made no show from a wide draw on her poly debut. She was a recent Cape Open Maiden winner and can do better here. POURSOMESUGARONME is always dangerous. She has a fair weight to shoulder but goes well over course and distance and is seldom far back.
Selections: #2 RED CORAL, #3 OKLAHOMA GIRL, #8 AUTUMN RUSH, #5 POURSOMESUGARONME
Best Win: #1 GOLDEN PALM #5 Sundance Kid
Best Value Bet: #5 SLIVER OF SUNSHINE #4 Heaven’s Will
Best Longshot: #5 SLIVER OF SUNSHINE #3 Autumn Rush
