Race Summary: A very open handicap and it may pay to go very wide in exotics like the Pick 6. WAITING FOR SUMMER has not won for some time but is back on the turf and could pop up. PRINCE VIHAAN is not easy to go past when in the mood and deserves respect. SLINGS AND ARROWS has been in good form on the grass of late and is not out of it.

Race Summary: Another difficult race to find the winner and a large spread of runners will be needed in all exotics. EXECUTOR fluffed her lines on a heavy track in her penultimate start and may be better on the Polytrack but is capable of winning. ELLA’S DELIGHT was not disgraced when fifth last time and could be a threat. POMODORO MAGIC is holding form and is clearly not out of it. SILVERY BLUE is far better than the last run would suggest. HASTA LAVISTA BABY runs on the turf for the first time, She did win well on debut before disappointing twice. ANGELSEA and KILMONIVAIG are both in good form and are not out of it.
Selections:
#6 Executor, #9 Angelsea, #11 Kilmonivaig, #2 Pomodoro Magic

Fairview, 12.01.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R150.000, 16:15GMT+2
Race Summary: LUNA HALO has been good on her home track and was not disgraced in either of her last two starts in Cape Town. She is quite capable of bouncing back to score over a course and distance that suits. GOLD POKER GAME let her supporters down when tiring late last time out but is capable of better and would not be a surprise winner. AND WE DANCED was very unlucky last time and with a clear run on this occasion should not be far off the winner.
