RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: FAIRVIEW POLYTRACK@2024.11.29
Fairview Polytrack, 29.11.2024, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R75.000, 12:05GMT+2
Race Summary: A tough start to the card. HER ROYALTY flopped last time out but could bounce back to score on local debut. TUNE AGAIN shows pace and is capable of playing a minor role. SERENDIPITOUS tends to lack a strong finish but does have a winning shot in this weak race. PALACE OF JUSTICE makes her debut but is not well drawn. REGINA LOU was not disgraced on debut and should do even better this time. WALKONTHEWILDSIDE is a well-bred filly but will need to get over from a poor draw.
Selections:
#5 Her Royalty, #14 Walkonthewildside, #6 Serendipitous, #13 Regina Lou
Fairview Polytrack, 29.11.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R71.000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: NOODSBERG was caught out of her ground on local debut. This longer distance should suit her and she should go one better this time. LAUGH TILL I CRY usually runs on late and can get into the money once again. BEIJING BOULEVARD tends to lack a strong finish but is consistent and can earn some more money. COUNTESS Q makes her local debut trying the Polytrack. MAXIGIRL, ONE WISH and ROYAL VENUS have all been unreliable but can pop up in places if in the mood.
Selections:
#6 Noodsberg, #4 Countess Q, #2 Laugh Till I Cry, #3 Beijing Boulevard
Fairview Polytrack, 29.11.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R94.000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: MY BEST SHOT has proven to be the best of these on the turf but he can still win a race like this. He is not weighted to beat rival SAKURAJIMA who was ahead of him last time out and is a full 6kg better off. Earlier this month the Alan Greeff-Richard Fourie combination made a mockery of the official ratings when Splicethemainbrace thrashed Happy Holly and they will be hoping the handicapper is wrong again. PLAY ACT is consistent and should also be involved with the finish. CAN’T SAY NO is starting to be very unreliable but could earn some minor money.
Selections:
#1 My Best Shot, #3 Sakurajima, #4 Play Act, #2 Can’T Say No
Fairview Polytrack, 29.11.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R76.000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: GREEN FAME has shown improvement since blinkers were fitted and she can go close to winning. ARABIAN RED blows hot and cold but would not be a surprise winner. LA PEQUENITA is better this distance but is not well drawn. BLUE PALACE is capable of improvement this track and distance. VINTAGE CRYSTAL has improved of late and was only just run out of it last time out. COLORAMA, SKY VELOCITY and BURN BRIGHT are three also capable of getting involved with the finish.
Selections:
#4 Green Fame, #1 Arabian Red, #5 La Pequenita, #7 Vintage Crystal
Fairview Polytrack, 29.11.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R78.500, 14:30GMT+2
Race Summary: SUCHALIFE clearly likes the Polytrack. She was a promising third in a much better field than this last time out so could prove far better than her official merit rating. LADY ZULTANITE has been effective on this surface this season and is not out of it. GOLD FOR AFRICA is better than her last run would suggest. CANFORD QUEEN flopped last time out but should improve after a change of trainers. CHRONICLESOFNANIA and QUERANDI tend to lack a strong finish but can earn some money. FIRST WISH was not disgraced last time out and can earn some money.
Selections:
#4 Suchalife, #2 Canford Queen, #7 First Wish, #1 Lady Zultanite
Fairview Polytrack, 29.11.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R76.000, 15:05GMT+2
Race Summary: HEART STEALER was badly out at the weights when scoring on local debut. The second-placed runner won last week and that form has held up well. He was, however, caught out of his ground in his latest start and was a costly failure when runner-up. He tries a lot further on the Polytrack but his followers will be hoping to recoup those losses. KAROO GOLD proved his penultimate start was all wrong when running on strongly last time out. HAROLD THE DUKE reminded us of what he is capable with a good win last time out. ROLL OF THE DICE was a wide-margin winner on local debut trying the Polytrack.
Selections:
#3 Heart Stealer, #1 Karoo Gold, #2 Harold The Duke, #8 Roll Of The Dice
Fairview Polytrack, 29.11.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R76.000, 15:40GMT+2
Race Summary: A hard task. It is probably best to go as wide as possible in all exotics especially the Pick 6. FULL OF MAGIC has battled to finish off her races of late but with a number of the better horses drawn badly she may well get the run of the race. RAVILIOUS is badly drawn but is capable of an upset. NIKES RAY OF LIGHT showed us of what he is capable with a good win last time out. SHARAPOVA has been a disappointment of late but could show vast improvement after a change of trainer. CRUZADOR is clearly a lot better than he showed last time out. WORDSWORTH, SEATTLE RIPPER and AXEL COLLINS are all capable of winning but have bad draws to overcome.
Selections:
#10 Full Of Magic, #11 Mediteraneangoddes, #3 Sharapova, #6 Wordsworth
Fairview Polytrack, 29.11.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R100.000, 16:15GMT+2
Race Summary: MASKED VIGILANTE was only a narrow winner of his last two starts. He has, however, proven to be very effective on the Polytrack and can complete a hat-trick. SLINGS AND ARROWS was not disgraced last time out and is always capable of getting into the thick of things. EYJAFJALLAJOKULL has been effective given soft rides of late and could have more wins in the tank. TIMBAVATI RIVER, EL ROMIACHI and LT ALEXANDER are all arriving for this after solid wins and are not out of it. TRAVEL MASTER is knocking at the door and could earn some more money.
Selections:
#4 Masked Vigilante, #2 Eyjafjallajokull, #7 Timbavati River, #9 El Romiachi
Fairview Polytrack, 29.11.2024, Race 9, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R80.000, 16:50GMT+2
Race Summary: A competitive handicap to end a nice card. GOLDEN PAVILION looked the likely winner last time out before folding late and could be ready to score this distance. One never knows what to expect from LEGAL THRILLER but he is quite capable of winning when in the mood. SCAMPTON is capable of better than what he showed last time out. SILVER TYCOON is in good form and has a winning chance. SWISS WALT is unreliable but is also not out of it. PASHTUNWALI is also capable of making the frame.
Selections:
#6 Golden Pavilion, #5 Legal Thriller, #4 Silver Tycoon, #1 Scampton
Best Win: #6 NOODSBERG
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #10 FULL OF MAGIC
