Fairview, 11.09.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R84.000, 12:15GMT+2
Race Summary: PRINCESS CHANTE was outpaced on debut but ran on well. She could be the right one in a competitive opening race. STORM BALLET makes her local debut but would not be a surprise winner. AMERICAN GEM could be a surprise package back on the grass. BOLD SKITTLE makes a local debut but is capable of improvement. ETERNAL SPIRIT has been consistent so far and must be respected for that. Both CAMBIASO and NORMA DELPHINE are making their debuts and could be threats.
Selections: #7 Princess Chante, #1 Storm Ballet, #11 Norma Delphine, #9 Cambiaso
Fairview, 11.09.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R84.000, 12:50GMT+2
Race Summary: LOVE FROM AFAR is knocking hard at the door and could score from a very good draw. MONKEY’S WEDDING has been consistent for some time now and should be a threat back on the grass. WINDOW TO MY SOUL is better than his last run would suggest and could contest the finish. CHAMPAGNE BLAZE could be the surprise package back on the grass. CARAVANTOVACCARES was disqualified from his intended debut last week and could upset.
Selections: #1 Love From Afar, #2 Monkey’s Wedding, #3 Window To My Soul, #10 Caravantovaccares
Fairview, 11.09.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R100.000, 13:25GMT+2
Race Summary: WILD FIG has won three of his last four starts and was a cracking runner-up last time out. He can bounce back to beat these rivals. MAKHACHEV has been very consistent this year and will not go down with a real fight once again. ABOVE THE HORIZON broke a string of seconds with a good win and should be a lively danger. LAGUNA VERDE is often a threat and is clearly not out of it. TERMINATOR is capable of an upset on best form.
Selections: #2 Wild Fig, #3 Above The Horizon, #4 Laguna Verde, #5 Terminator
Fairview, 11.09.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R110.000, 14:00GMT+2
Race Summary: JOKER MAN showed a form return last time and should be suited to this course and distance. DON’T CRY FOR ME makes a local debut and would not be a surprise winner. SILVONIAN remains in very good shape and deserves the utmost respect. MONTELENA is hinting at a form return and could like this track and trip. ACTION AMERICA gets weight from his rivals and is quite capable of winning a race of this nature.
Selections: #4 Joker Man, #5 Silvonian, #10 Action America, #8 Montelena
Fairview, 11.09.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R88.000, 14:35GMT+2
Race Summary: A very open looking race and it might be worth going very wide in all the exotics, especially the Pick 6. ROOSTER BRADSHAW makes his local debut but is well drawn and should be suited to this course and distance. BLAME IT ON ME reminded us of what he is capable with a good win last time out and is a threat if they let him run loose again. GIVETHATMANABELLS did too much too soon last time out and is a big runner if given a patient ride. RULES OF CONDUCT is consistent but not well drawn. MY LUCKY CHARM and EL CAPITAN are also capable of scoring.
Selections: #5 Rooster Bradshaw, #7 My Lucky Charm, #3 Blame It On Me, #4 Givethatmanabells
Fairview, 11.09.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R82.000, 15:10GMT+2
Race Summary: DAFFODIL DELIGHT has not been showing her best on the Polytrack of late. She is capable of bouncing back to beat these rivals if they stay on the turf this week. DANCING IN WINTER kept going for a solid win last time out and must be respected once again. BLAZING FLAME is in good form but must do it all again on the turf this time. Stable companion RED BIRCH and QUEEN OF JAZZ have been solid on this surface and would not be surprise winners. FREE WORLD has not been too far off them in her recent starts and must also be considered.
Selections: #3 Daffodil Delight, #7 Red Birch, #5 Marketa, #8 Queen Of Jazz
Fairview, 11.09.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R104.000, 15:45GMT+2
Race Summary: ASTRONOMICAL BOY returns from a break but could win on local debut. Stable companions FOREST SPY and THE WINTER LAKE are not reliable but do have course-and-distance form. ROAMING SPIRIT has been in good form of late and must be respected. FRENCH FLAME is another Dean Smith-trained runner that must be considered a possible winner. BACK FROM WAR makes a local debut and could make the frame. Trainer Alan Greeff has many runners for this. Richard Fourie rides FIRST OFFICER and he may well be the best of them, but that is not certain.
Selections: #2 Astronomical Boy, #3 Roaming Spirit, #4 French Flame, #5 Back From War
Fairview, 11.09.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R84.000, 16:20GMT+2
Race Summary: PYRO EDITION is in good form. He would possibly prefer a bit further but gets the vote to score in a competitive last race. ASINANTANGA returns from a break and is not well drawn but does have Craig Zackey in the irons and could be a threat. HOSPICES DE BEAUNE is consistent and deserves a winning turn. CHEERFUL CHARLIE B is course and distance suited and is clearly not out of it. ROYAL DAWN has improved of late and represents an in-form trainer. GOLDEN GREY and in-form RUN THE WORLD also might shine.
Selections: #2 Pyro Edition, #3 Hospices De Beaune, #6 Cheerful Charlie B, #7 Royal Dawn
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 11.09.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R125,000, 16:37GMT+2
Race Summary: Tricky opener. MIST IN MARYLAND was touched off when making her poly debut. She has the best of the draw again and can go one better. FORTHEGOODTIMES finished ahead of Mist In Maryland when they last met on the turf with Forthegoodtimes the hot favourite. Mist In Maryland has the poly experience and the draw. PACIFIC MOOD makes her poly debut and back from a break. Her last run was in feature company and she can do better here. CARTEL QUEEN has shown her best recent form on the poly but does go the extra furlong.
Selections: #1 MIST IN MARYLAND, #7 FORTHEGOODTIMES, #5 PACIFIC MOOD, #2 CARTEL QUEEN
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 11.09.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R100,000, 17:15GMT+2
Race Summary: BIG DIPPER caught the eye on debut when running on nicely from the worst of the draw in soft ground. He has another wide draw but looks progressive. RUN GEORGE RUN has poor form on the turf, his one good effort over this course and distance behind a subsequent winner. DEE DAY is a long-time battler but showed some improvement last run and has a money chance. KA CHOW was not too far back under his light weight last run. He carries a similar burden this time around and can place.
Selections: #10 BIG DIPPER, #5 RUN GEORGE RUN, #4 DEE DAY, #6 KA CHOW
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 11.09.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R90,000, 17:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Wide open. NAVAJO DANCER is way overdue for his next win. But he has been close-up at recent outings and his best form has been on the poly. KAAPSE KLOPSE goes very well on the poly and was a smart third on the turf last time out. From the best of the draw he has plenty in his favour. MASTER SILVANO has consistent form on the poly and was a narrowly beaten favourite behind VICTOR RAIL and is 1.5kg better off in the handicap.
Selections: #3 NAVAJO DANCER, #2 KAAPSE KLOPSE, #5 MASTER SILVANO, #6 VICTOR RAIL
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 11.09.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R100,000, 18:25GMT+2
Race Summary: QUEEN OF DENMARK takes on males but has been close-up at her last two and goes well on the poly. She has a handy weight and the opposition is not strong. GRAND TOUR made a fair debut at long odds and should come on from that effort and could make the required improvement. ALL ABOUT ME found some market support at long odds last start. He is lightly raced with a light weight and one to watch. WISEDOM SEEKER made a fair debut in a strong maiden field. He has only had one outing and can make big improvement.
Selections: #5 QUEEN OF DENMARK, #4 WISDOM SEEKER, #6 GRAND TOUR, #3 ALL ABOUT ME
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 11.09.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1800m, Poly, R100,000, 19:00GMT+2
Race Summary: CRIMSON FLAME found some market support on debut and only just failed. It was not the strongest maiden field but the outing should have brought him on. Hollywood Racing’s retained riders have swopped mounts but in this open maiden TARANAKI NOMAD is better off at the weights with SCOTT’S BAR but the extra furlong could better suit the New Zealand-bred. SUTTER’S MILL has his first run for Kom Naidoo and the stable is in form. He can improve on his Highveld form.
Selections: #6 CRIMSON FLAME, #7 TARANAKI NOMAD, #1 SCOTT’S BAR, #4 SUTTER’S MILL
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 11.09.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R90,000, 19:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Tough handicap. DANCING ON A CLOUD won his last race on the poly. He has a claiming apprentice up and should be competitive. I AM CLASSY has improved with cheek pieces and although this race is over ground, his inside draw could prove significant. Veteran NATIONAL DREAM is down in class with a top rider aboard and can feature. PRINCESS PALACE found some betting support last run and has dropped three pounds in the handicap.
Selections: #4 DANCING ON A CLOUD, #1 I AM CLASSY, #8 NATIONAL DREAM, #6 PRINCESS PALACE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 11.09.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R140,000, 20:10GMT+2
Race Summary: Competitive handicap. DAY TWO is lightly raced and hardly been out of the money. He goes well this trip and should be competitive. NO PRESSURE won well last start over course and distance and can defy the handicapper. RED CARDINAL was second best behind No Pressure last time out. He has to make up 2 lengths on his rival but is 1.5kg better off. GARDENER’S PRIDE is likely to set the pace and with a handy weight he could prove difficult to peg back.
Selections: #10 DAY TWO, #3 NO PRESSURE, #7 RED CARDINAL, #4 GARDENER’S PRIDE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 11.09.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R100,000, 20:45GMT+2
Race Summary: TWOCANTANGO is coming on the right way and has been close-up in his last two since returning from a length break. He will enjoy this trip and shed his maiden on the poly. HEAVEN’S WILL is slowly dropping in the handicap. He steps up over a more suitable trip with a handy weight. GREEN MILE is a poly specialist who is seldom far back. He won well last time out and only got a three pound rise n the handicap so can go in again. THE WOLF is holding form. He takes on stronger but should be in the mix.
Selections: #10 TWOCANTANGO, #6 HEAVEN’S WILL, #5 GREEN MILE, #7 THE WOLF
Best Win: #2 WILD FIG #10 BIG DIPPER
Best Value Bet: #5 ROOSTER BRADSHAW #4 DANCING ON A CLOUD
Best Longshot: #5 ROOSTER BRADSHAW #6 HEAVEN’S WILL
