RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: FAIRVIEW POLYTRACK@2026.08.26
Fairview Polytrack, 26.08.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1300m, Poly, R84.000, 12:30GMT+2
Race Summary: RUNGSTEDLAND has been runner-up in her last three starts and is overdue a first success. This is her first taste of the Polytrack. J LORDI has improved of late and should be involved in the finish. ROCKING IN RIO has only been modest so far but returns from a break and having been gelded can make dramatic improvement. AMERICAN GEM does seem better on the grass but can earn some money in a race of this nature. AMERICAN PETAL is better than her last run and can make the frame.
Selections: #5 Rungstedland, #2 J Lordi, #3 Rocking In Rio, #4 American Gem
Fairview Polytrack, 26.08.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R84.000, 13:05GMT+2
Race Summary: BAI YULU makes her local debut and she would not be a surprise winner. MADE TO MEASURE is threatening a first success but does appear a difficult ride to actually win with. BURNING DESIRE showed improvement last time out and could go one place better. KIM KAY should contest the finish. RARE EARTH and CAUGHTBYSURPRISE are better than their last runs suggest and can earn some minor money. LADY MAJESTIC put in a career best performance last time out and might do even better this time.
Selections: #1 Bai Yulu, #2 Made To Measure, #3 Burning Desire, #4 Kim Kay
Fairview Polytrack, 26.08.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R94.000, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: HAT MONTERA does not always show her best side. She did just need the run in a better race last time out and has won for this apprentice so gets the vote to score. GINGER DELIGHT is at best on the Polytrack and is clearly better than her last run. ROYAL MISSY has not been disgraced in her last two starts and is not out of it. FLIGHT DISPLAY is better than her last run shows and can bounce back and be a threat. BABETTE’S FEAST, ROYAL KAILANI, and WAIT FOR ME try further and could improve.
Selections: #2 Hat Montera, #1 Ginger Delight, #3 Royal Missy, #4 Flight Display
Fairview Polytrack, 26.08.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R92.000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: An open looking race. SABRAGE is improving and may well complete a hat-trick but this is a tougher task. RICHARDTHEFEARLESS is a dangerous frontrunner when in the right mood and could be a threat. HOLLANDIA BAKKERIJ has some fair form and is not out of it. BLACKBERRY BREEZE is usually competitive and clearly not out of it. HOODWINKED did his best work late last time out and could be ready for a winning turn. GLOBAL DRUMBEAT and SIXTYZERO receive weight from their rivals and might be dangerous.
Selections: #4 Sabrage, #5 Hoodwinked, #9 Sixtyzero, #2 Hollandia Bakkerij
Fairview Polytrack, 26.08.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R88.000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Trainer Alan Greeff and the returning Richard Fourie hold a decent hand in the last four races on this card. TRAVEL MASTER has had some solid wins of late. New frontrunning tactics were tried and he has thrived. ALWAYS SHINING has struggled of late but is capable of an upset on best form. PALANCAR showed his best side with a good win last time out and may follow up. PRINCE FLORIAN is not an easy ride but is course and distance suited and should be included in all bets. CHARLIE MALONE and HOSPICES DE BEAUNE are also capable of getting into the mix.
Selections: #4 Travel Master, #3 Prince Florian, #6 Hospices De Beaune, #2 Palancar
Fairview Polytrack, 26.08.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R88.000, 15:25GMT+2
Race Summary: The two-year-old form from last season will be tested in this event. FIRST OFFICER was a couple of lengths behind the leading two-year-colts last season and could score. SUSURRANDO has improved this year and should be a threat once again. GIVETHATMANABELLS was a well-supported, easy winner of his latest start and must be respected for that. SMIDDYBURN, EUGENIUS and KING VISERYS have all done enough of late to suggest they can make the frame.
Selections: #1 First Officer, #2 Susurrando, #4 Givethatmanabells, #6 Eugenius
Fairview Polytrack, 26.08.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R82.000, 16:05GMT+2
Race Summary: NEW DAY looked an unlucky loser last time. She had a difficult draw and although not well drawn she looks ready to recoup any losses for that defeat. ROCKIE BLUE, her stable companion, returns from a break but could earn some money. MIDNIGHT MUSIC showed improvement last time out and could go one place better. SABOTEUR is a recent maiden winner that could have more to offer. ICE CAP and COLORAMA are unreliable but do run places every now and then. LILAC SNOW makes a local debut and could shine.
Selections: #5 New Day, #3 Midnight Music, #8 Saboteur, #9 Lilac Snow
Fairview Polytrack, 26.08.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R90.000, 16:40GMT+2
Race Summary: THIS OR THAT impressed in her debut win. She did not show the same level of form trying the Polytrack but could recoup losses. MYSTICAL BUTTERFLY is well drawn this time so a better run can be expected. MOSCOW MISS needed her last run and can bounce back to be a real threat to these rivals. WALK RIGHT IN won last time out and could have more to offer. DRACHENFUTTER makes a local debut and could be a danger. WHIRLYBIRD and VOORSMAAKIE are two others to consider.
Selections: #3 This Or That, #1 Mystical Butterfly, #2 Moscow Miss, #8 Whirlybird
Best Win: #5 RUNGSTEDLAND
Best Value Bet: #4 SABRAGE
Best Longshot: #4 SABRAGE
