RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: FAIRVIEW POLYTRACK@2026.10.09
Fairview Polytrack, 09.10.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R100.000, 12:15GMT+2
Race Summary: A tricky opening race. NET ZERO is a Gimmethegreenlight filly who is making her debut. She has a tricky draw to overcome but does not have to deal with very strong opposition. FLYING SKITT has not been disgraced in three starts and should be a threat. MOETHEMONEYMAN makes a local debut and could show vast improvement. LIGHTNING RED is capable of improvement. CHIM CHIM CHEREE showed improvement last time out and can have more to offer.
Selections: #7 Net Zero, #10 Uncut Gem, #1 Flying Skitt, #2 Moethemoneyman
Fairview Polytrack, 09.10.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R114.000, 12:50GMT+2
Race Summary: MASTER MTOTO has a string of three decent runner-up performances in a row, all in decent races. Jockey JP van der Merwe gets his first ride aboard him and he should win. SLASH ‘N BURN (IRE) did beat that rival last time out and there is no real change in the weights so in theory he could do it again, but that rival should have plenty of improvement forthcoming. SYMBOL OF LOVE is talented but is returning from a lengthy break. SPEED RACER also returns from a break and could need this run. DETAILED FORECAST has struggled of late but can earn some money.
Selections: #3 Master Mtoto, #4 Slash ‘N Burn, #2 Speed Racer, #1 Symbol Of Love
Fairview Polytrack, 09.10.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R92.000, 13:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Trainer Alan Greeff holds a decent hand in this opening leg of the Pick 6. TWICE A QUEEN is probably looking for further than this but does have stable jockey Richard Fourie in the irons and could score. Stable companion CAUTIONARY was not disgraced on debut in July and would not be a surprise winner. CAUGHTUBYSURPRISE and LYRICS AND SONGS are both battling to get out of the maiden ranks but have an opportunity to score. KITANA’S JOY is consistent and could also get involved with the finish.
Selections: #2 Twice A Queen, #1 Cautionary, #3 Caughtubysurprise, #4 Lyrics And Songs
Fairview Polytrack, 09.10.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R105.000, 14:00GMT+2
Race Summary: RUSH GREEN proved just in need of his latest run. He will be fitter this time, is clearly talented and the one to be with. Stable companion COASTAL PATH has lost his way of late but can earn some money. RHYDIAN returned to his best with a fine win last time out and can double up if in the same mood. Stable companion GLOBETONIC is always a danger, particularly when given a soft lead and that could be the case this time again. Stable companions for trainer Cliffie Miller, STAR IN MOTION and TASTE THE RAINBOW, are also capable of running well.
Selections: #6 Rush Green, #2 Rhydian, #3 Globetonic, #7 Taste The Rainbow
Fairview Polytrack, 09.10.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R100.000, 14:35GMT+2
Race Summary: WAIT FOR ME has not been reliable in his career but he is best weighted and his last run was particularly encouraging. GLOBAL DRUMBEAT was pulled out of last Friday’s race but is back and ready to make amends. Stable companion INTUITIVE SPIRIT ran well in a much better race than this last time out and would not be a surprise winner. SECRET ERUPTION picked up a first success last time out and could have more to show. GLOBAL SPEAK and ARIVIDICIO are very unreliable but are also not out of it.
Selections: #7 Intuitive Spirit, #1 Wait For Me, #6 Global Speak, #2 Global Drumbeat
Fairview Polytrack, 09.10.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R100.000, 15:10GMT+2
Race Summary: A competitive-looking race. BEL CANTO DREAM returns from a short break but has shown improvement for trainer Jacques Strydom and can score again. GIVETHATMANABELLS will be a threat if given another patient ride. TRAVEL MASTER has proven to be a danger when allowed a soft lead and he may well get that in this race. EL CAPITAN has only been fair of late but is not out of it. More was expected from CLARA LUME’ last time out, but she is best weighted so must be respected for that.
Selections: #4 Bel Canto Dream, #1 Givethatmanabells, #2 Travel Master, #6 Clara Lume’
Fairview Polytrack, 09.10.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R112.000, 15:45GMT+2
Race Summary: IONA CASTLE has not been at her best in her last two starts but looks likely to run a decent race this course and distance. GENOVEFA is well drawn and is course and distance suited but does give weight away to a lot of her rivals. KINGS AGAIN was not disgraced in a better race than this last time but is not well drawn. MAKE BELIEVE remains in good shape and is clearly not out of it. UMZOLOZOLO and INSPIRATION seem better than their last runs and could surprise at these weights.
Selections: #3 Iona Castle, #1 Genovefa, #2 Kings Again, #4 Make Believe
Fairview Polytrack, 09.10.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R94.000, 16:20GMT+2
Race Summary: CHATTERBOX showed what she is capable of with a solid last win and could follow up as she has a decent draw and Richard Fourie remains aboard. CARNIVAL is talented and quickened up well to win her latest start. She must be respected again. POWEROFPEACE let her supporters down last time but was not beaten by far and can be a threat once again. PRINCESS GOLDIE makes a local debut and could improve. MIDNIGHT MUSIC, TOKYO PRINCESS and VOORSMAAKIE are also capable of making the frame.
Selections: #2 Chatterbox, #1 Powerofpeace, #3 Carnival, #5 Princess Goldie
Best Win: #3 MASTER MTOTO
Best Value Bet: #3 IONA CASTLE
Best Longshot: #3 IONA CASTLE
