Fairview Polytrack, 20.12.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1300m, Poly, R75.000, 13:05GMT+2
Race Summary: WORLD SOPRANO looked an unlucky loser last time and hopefully jockey Richard Fourie can get the job done. VELVET VALOUR has tended to lack a strong finish but could play a minor role. GRAND OASIS showed improvement last time out and has a winning chance on local debut. CHAMPONELLE also makes his local debut and will try blinkers this time so could be a threat. SUPER CASANOVA and MAYOR OF MERRIVALE are both coming off disappointing runs but could earn money. SMART VIEW should contest the finish in a race like this.
Selections:
#2 World Soprano, #4 Champonelle, #3 Grand Oasis, #9 Smart View
Fairview Polytrack, 20.12.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R75.000, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: LOTUS ISLAND has not been beaten too far in her runs in the Western Cape. This longer distance should suit her and she can win trying the Polytrack. ACCUMULATE ran on well last time out and could be involved in the places once again. CHEAP THRILLS showed vast improvement last time and should be a threat. GENTEEL has been fair of late but might prefer the turf. FIRE FESTIVAL and WELSH STARLET are also capable of improvement.
Selections:
#4 Lotus Island, #5 Genteel, #3 Cheap Thrills, #2 Accumulate
Fairview Polytrack, 20.12.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 2200m, Poly, R108.000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: A very competitive Jackpot 1 opener. ZATARA MAGIC has been very good on this surface this season and could bounce back to score. RUNAWAY SONG is beter than his last run suggests and could get involved. Trainer Sean Tarry is carded with a rare runner and his old stayer NEBRAAS does have a winning chance. He has not been at his best for some time now but the switch to the Polytrack could bring him back to form. OFFICIAL SECRET was an impressive winner last time on this surface and would not be a surprise winner. Stable companion BOURNEMOUTH is another to consider as a possible winner.
Selections:
#1 Zatara Magic, #5 Official Secret, #3 Nebraas, #2 Runaway Song
Fairview Polytrack, 20.12.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R78.500, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: A leg to load up in the Pick 6. Trainer Gavin Smith has a decent hand and KOMESANS PASSION has drawn gate 1. That could spark a winning performance from her. IQEMBULABESIFAZANE is having her third run back from a break and could go close. JADE’S CABERNEIGH is carded to run on Friday 13 December so have a look at that run first. She will have a winning chance if she runs. BOSNAY is better than her last run suggests and is another to be included. HOLLY’S VIEW does not always show her best but is capable of winning.
Selections:
#6 Komesans Passion, #3 Jade’s Caberneigh, #1 Bosnay, #2 Iqembulabesifazane
Fairview Polytrack, 20.12.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R81.000, 15:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Trainer Alan Greeff was very confident about ARABIAN RED’s chances last time and she certainly did not disappoint, scoring a very easy win. She can double up under a 6-point penalty. GET IT DONE is in very good form and should fight out the finish. MARSHMALLOW is hat-rick seeking and is not out of it. CANFORD QUEEN should improve on her local debut. QUERANDI and BLUE PALACE are capable of earning minor money. LIGHT OF DAY is better than her last run and should be included in large Pick 6 plays.
Selections:
#1 Arabian Red, #2 Get It Done, #3 Marshmallow, #7 Blue Palace
Fairview Polytrack, 20.12.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R100.000, 16:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Yet another race to load up in the exotics. DUBAI HILLS is threatening to win but has a wide draw for jockey Richard Fourie to deal with. DESTINY’S ANGEL remains in very good form but does give weight to all his rivals. EL ROMIACHI has won his last three starts and deserves respect once again. MAKHACHEV is in good form and not out of it. WAZ WOUTER is well-drawn and could try and make all the running this time. TIMBAVATI RIVER and THUNDER MASTER will be doing their best work late. GOLD GUNNER is not well-drawn but is improving.
Selections:
#10 Dubai Hills, #3 El Romiachi, #7 Waz Wouter, #8 Timbavati River
Fairview Polytrack, 20.12.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R80.000, 16:35GMT+2
Race Summary: MASTER FORESTER is improving and ran well last time. ARIVIDICIO looked an unlucky loser last time and could be a lively danger again. MEETATTHEWINDSOR is in good form and can contest the finish again. ERIMITAGE is capable of better and could earn money. FLASH LIGHTNING was not disgraced in his latest start and could do even better this time. HEAD GARDENER is a dangerous frontrunner when in the mood and this drop in distance might allow him a soft lead.
Selections:
#10 Master Forester, #12 Arividicio, #2 Meetatthewindsor, #8 Erimitage
Best Win: #2 WORLD SOPRANO
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #1 ZATARA MAGIC
