Fairview, 04.09.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R84.000, 12:15GMT+2
Race Summary: LIGHTSCAMERAACTION is a Gimmethregreenlight filly making her debut and it could well be a winning one, representing trainer Alan Greeff and to be ridden by Richard Fourie. CHAMPAGNE BLAZE returns from a break but could be a threat this course and distance. PRINCESS CHANTE was not disgraced on debut and could have more to offer. LUCY’S WORLD is back on the grass and should fight out the finish. DANCING AMBER has shown promise in two starts and is an obvious threat.
Selections: #9 Lightscameraaction, #8 Dancing Amber, #5 Lucy’s World, #4 Princess Chante
Fairview, 04.09.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R84.000, 12:50GMT+2
Race Summary: SILVA STREAKER keeps hitting the crossbar. It should not be long for a first victory and this course and distance should suit. TIME HONORED returns from a break but has been consistent and is not out of it. MONKEY’S WEDDING is competitive and should be right there at the finish yet again. GOLDEN FIFTIES could like this longer distance and might be the surprise package of the race. RUN JOHNNY RUN could improve back on the grass and has a place chance. CARAVANTOVACCARES makes his debut and must be respected.
Selections: #6 Silva Streaker, #1 Time Honored, #2 Monkey’s Wedding, #7 Run Johnny Run
Fairview, 04.09.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R96.000, 13:25GMT+2
Race Summary: HELIOTROPE has been very consistent for trainer Dean Smith and was an impressive winner when last seen on the grass. GEORGE HANDEL remains in very good shape and should be a lively danger. HOLLANDIA BAKKERIJ was a game winner just last week and can follow up. ANATOLIAN SILVER is clearly capable of better than his last run would suggest and should make the frame. POLICY OF TRUTH showed improvement last time out and can also get involved with the finish.
Selections: #1 Heliotrope, #2 George Handel, #3 Hollandia Bakkerij, #4 Anatolian Silver
Fairview, 04.09.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R88.000, 14:00GMT+2
Race Summary: A competitive-looking race. JOHNNY DRAMA ran on well last week and could be ready for a winning turn. PYRO EDITION is not reliable but is quite capable of winning a race of this nature. KALEESH CYBORG is improving and picked up a maiden win last time out. SHOW OFF and PAST AND PRESENT could improve back on the turf. AMANZIMTEXAS and TERMINAL VELOCITY are capable of getting into the mix of things.
Selections: #1 Johnny Drama, #4 Pyro Edition, #6 Past And Present, #8 Amanzimtexas
Fairview, 04.09.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R84.000, 14:35GMT+2
Race Summary: REDLIGHT LANE did not show her best on the Polytrack last time out. She is sure to do better back on the grass and could score. MADE TO MEASURE is very consistent without scoring and will be a serious challenger once again. BURNING DESIRE has shown improvement of late and is not out of it. WITCHING HOUR was doing her best work late last week and could earn some more money. CAN WE START is capable of improvement and would not be a surprise winner.
Selections: #2 Redlight Lane, #1 Made To Measure, #3 Burning Desire, #4 Witching Hour
Fairview, 04.09.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R84.000, 15:10GMT+2
Race Summary: RHYDIAN has not been at his lethal best on the Polytrack of late. He looks likely to bounce back on the grass and is capable of scoring. PEDRO is course and distance suited and must be respected for that. SLIVER OF SUNHINE has lacked a strong finish in his recent starts but has Richard Fourie in the saddle and must be considered a possible winner. AWAY WITH RED returns from a break but can make the frame if fit enough. CRIMSON CLOVER quickened nicely to win on the grass two weeks ago and could have more to offer. NIGHTJAR and RUN THE WORLD are two others to consider for Pick 6 purposes.
Selections: #1 Rhydian, #5 Crimson Clover, #2 Pedro, #6 Nightjar
Fairview, 04.09.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R175.000, 15:45GMT+2
Race Summary: An open race. MOUNT PILATUS makes a local debut but it could well be a winning one. MOVER AND SHAKER may have needed his last run on the Polytrack and will be a threat to these rivals. FAIRY KNIGHT is very consistent and should challenge for top honours. ANUSCHKA’S WORLD is better than his last run suggests and would not be a surprise winner. DANISH DYNAMITE is very speedy and if allowed a soft lead might keep going. EXCEEDINGLY GLAM completed her hat-trick on the Polytrack in fine style but this is a tougher lot.
Selections: #4 Mount Pilatus, #1 Fairy Knight, #2 Anuschka’s World, #3 Mover And Shaker
Fairview, 04.09.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R90.000, 16:20GMT+2
Race Summary: A tough race to end this card. MORFELIHA is a course and distance winner and could bounce back to score but she will need to fight off some young and improving fillies. GORGEOUS CAPE is not reliable but has won on the turf and is a threat. MAKE BELIEVE and stable companion SWEET JULIA are consistent and clearly not out of it. FATEFUL LOVE and her stable companion CHATTERBOX both showed promise earlier this year and must be respected. INSPIRATION ran well on her local debut and is another that could shine.
Selections: #4 Morfeliha, #2 Gorgeous Cape, #3 Make Believe, #9 Chatterbox
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.09.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R90,000, 16:37GMT+2
Race Summary: BLENHEIM PALACE is likely to start a short-priced favourite. Her last three runs have been promising and the form of the opposition looks to be decidedly thin. CHANTILLY LADY is lightly raced and was much improved at her second start. She could be the biggest danger. GUILD THE LILY jumps in trip. If she stays with a 4kg claimer aboard she could upset. MY QUEEN AMANAT has her first run for a new stable. Her Highveld form is nothing to write home about but the change could see some improvement.
Selections: #8 BLENHEIM PALACE, #2 CHANTILLY LADY, #6 GUILD THE LILLY, #4 MY QUEEN AMANAT
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.09.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R140,000, 17:15GMT+2
Race Summary: Competitive maiden. Highveld visitor DREADNOUGHT has shown up well in both starts and was a close-up third over the distance at just his second outing. He may be the one to beat. JUDICIARY was disappointing last run after making a promising debut. De Melo stays with the ride from an in form stable. DANNY ATLAS was narrowly beaten first up on the poly with blinkers. It was not the strongest field but he is improving. SEBASTIAAN improved nicely in a sprint at just his second start. He should much prefer this trip and one to watch in the betting. MUSTANG HIGHWAY was a beaten favourite last run on the poly but has the widest draw to contend with.
Selections: #5 DREADNOUGHT, #8 JUDICIARY, #3 DANNY ATLAS, #6 SEBASTIAAN
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.09.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R140,000, 17:50GMT+2
Race Summary: ZAGREB is lightly raced and showed up well first run out of the maidens. He does appear to have more to come and is slightly down in class. SONG TO THE MOON is never far back. He has come down two points in the ratings and has the best of the draw. NEXT OF KIN is hardly ever out of the money and is better than his last run on the poly. He gets a useful 4kg claimer aboard which adds to his appeal. PIED PIPER has done all of his recent racing on the poly and has been consistent. If he takes to the turf he will be a runner.
Selections: #7 ZAGREB, #3 NEXT OF KIN, #1 SONG TO THE MOON, #6 PIED PIPER
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.09.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R135,000, 18:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Preview: Only seven runners but tough to call. CAPTAIN’S PRIDE (3) and BLUE POPPY (4) meet on exactly the same weight terms as last time out with a neck separating them. It should be close again. Captain’s Pride was finishing the stronger and could go one better. Winner that day, RIKKITIKKITAVI (1) meets this pair on 1kg worse terms. She led all the way in a desperate finish in what was her first run after showing useful Cape form. SPIRIT OF SHIMLA (7) was a comfortable winner of her last start but got a five-pound increase in the ratings. (Andrew Harrison: 3-4-7-1).
Selections: #3 CAPTAIN’S PRIDE, #4 BLUE POPPY, #7 SPIRIT OF SHIMLA, #1 RIKKITIKKITAVI
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.09.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R80,000, 19:05GMT+2
Race Summary: TAYLOR’S VERSION is down in class. She has a useful claiming apprentice up from a handy draw and should be a big runner in what is an open affair. AMPHITRITE has not been too far back since shedding her maiden and has come down in the ratings. She only has 48.5kg to shoulder and could go all the way. MOUNTAINSOFTHEMOON has consistent recent poly form. Her recent turf form is suspect and he does have the widest draw. OCOTILLO has her third run after a short break but her last two runs were on the poly which may be a concern.
Selections: #3 TAYLOR’S VERSION, #4 AMPHITRITE, #10 MOUNTAINSOFTHEMOON, #6 OCOTILLO
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.09.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R150,000, 19:40GMT+2
Race Summary: Tricky handicap. SCARLET MACAW drops to a sprint but has useful form in top company. She fluffed her lines last time out when favourite but can make amends. MATCH THAT showed up well first run in KZN and the step up in trip should suit although she does have a wide draw to contend with. INFINITY EDGE has been hammered by the handicappers but is slowly coming down in the ratings. She still has a big weight but the blinkers come off and she has the best of the draw. MISS WORLD is seldom out of the money. She runs well on this course and should be in contention.
Selections: #5 SCARLET MACAW, #9 MATCH THAT, #1 INFINITY EDGE, #2 MISS WORLD
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.09.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R140,000, 20:15GMT+2
Race Summary: SCOTS WAE HAE got into all sorts of trouble at the start of his last race and eventually Gavin Lerena did not preserve. The colt had shown promise in his first two and could be worth another chance. KID FROM THE SOUTH showed up well first run out of the maidens. He shed his maiden over course and distance and looks progressive. WHO BLINKED showed up well on the poly last run but his turf form is consistent. He has the benefit of a 4kg claimer aboard. XENOPHON has patchy form but will be competitive on his day. One to watch closely in the market.
Selections: #8 SCOTS WAE HAE, #5 KID FROM THE SOUTH, #9 WHO BLINKED, #4 XENOPHON
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.09.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R80,000, 20:50GMT+2
Race Summary: TIPPERARY took an age to shed her maiden, winning at her 32 start. However, she was always consistent and could follow up in field of exposed handicappers. ANGEL’S OASIS needed her last run in her first outing for a new stable. She should come on from that and be competitive in a tough handicap. SOVEREIGN GEM is improving as he rating drops and she should be competitive in this line-up. JAPURA returns from a lengthy break but has shown ability and if not short of a run she can go close.
Selections: #4 TIPPERARY, #5 ANGEL’S OASIS, #6 JAPURA, #3 SOVEREIGN GEM
Best Win: #1 HELIOTROPE #8 BLENHEIM PALACE
Best Value Bet: #4 MOUNT PILATUS #5 DREADNAUGHT
Best Longshot: #4 MOUNT PILATUS #1 INFINITY EDGE
