RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: FAIRVIEW@2025.01.10
Fairview, 10.01.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 2400m, Turf, R71.000, 12:20GMT+2
Race Summary: GLOBAL REEF proved to be a bitter disappointment on the Polytrack. He has run well twice since then on the turf and should make a bold bid at beating these rivals. KINNIKINNIK may be better on the Polytrack but can contest the finish. HE’S A GAUL needs to do more to win but could play a minor role. REPETITION and BOMBER BAY have only been modest in the Western Cape but have made the trip and would not be surprise winners. A MONTH OF SUNDAYS showed improvement last time out and is not out of it.
Selections:
#1 Global Reef, #7 Bomber Bay, #5 Repetition, #3 Kinnikinnik
Fairview, 10.01.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R75.000, 12:55GMT+2
Race Summary: AMERICAN MATADOR showed good improvement on local debut and can go one better. AMERICAN PITBULL may prefer the turf and can contest the finish again. ANCHOR MAN is consistent but has tended to lack a strong finish. ALWAYS SHINING makes his local debut and can earn some money. LANCIAFIAMME could be the vast improver of the race. He is stepping up in distance after a debut on the Polytrack.
Selections:
#6 American Matador, #2 Anchor Man, #1 American Pitbull, #4 Always Shining
Fairview, 10.01.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R85.000, 13:30GMT+2
Race Summary: MASTER FORESTER is still learning and was not disgraced when runner-up last time out. He can go one better in a competitive race. FRENCH IMPACT makes his local debut and deserves respect. SILVER TYCOON and MEETATTHEWINDSOR are consistent and can fight out the finish yet again. EXPLOSIVE SPEED reminded us what he is capable of last time out and should be involved with the finish again. KING’S SAILOR tends to lack a strong finish but could play a minor role.
Selections:
#4 Master Forester, #5 Explosive Speed, #2 Silver Tycoon, #3 Meetatthewindsor
Fairview, 10.01.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R104.000, 14:05GMT+2
Race Summary: GIMME MORE TIME is a course and distance winner. His trainer has been very good in recent raids, and this gelding can bounce back to score. DOWSER tackled stronger last time and is capable of an upset. SLINGS AND ARROWS is capable of playing a minor role. DYNALLEY makes his local debut and would not be a surprise winner. EL ROMIACHI remains in good form and has a place chance. KING’S RANSOM, MAKHACHEV, MO THE MAN and WAZ WOUTER are all capable of getting involved with the finish.
Selections:
#2 Gimme More Time, #11 Waz Wouter, #10 Mo The Man, #8 King’s Ransom
Fairview, 10.01.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R150.000, 14:40GMT+2
Race Summary: LUNA HALO is probably at her very best over 1400m but she is also very good over this distance. She looks the one to be with and stable jockey Richard Fourie is in the irons. Stable companion OFFICIAL SECRET has shone over further of late but was not far behind her stable companion when they last met. RED SASH is at the top of her game and deserves respect once again. WHERE’S THE PARTY makes her local debut and is capable of earning some money. LADY SILVANO is in good shape and is not out of it. AMONG THE CLOUDS has plenty to do under these weight conditions but can earn some money.
Selections:
#1 Luna Halo, #2 Official Secret, #3 Red Sash, #4 Where’s The Party
Fairview, 10.01.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R100.000, 15:20GMT+2
Race Summary: CATCH YOUR BREATH has improved with blinkers and should be able to complete her hat-trick of wins. AS FATE HAS IT will struggle to give weight and a beating to all her rivals but could earn some minor money. STRANGE MAGIC is in good shape and has a place chance. VOLARE E MAMBO usually gives of her best and can contest the finish on local debut. STATE SECRET should contest the finish. GET IT DONE has a place chance.
Selections:
#2 Catch Your Breath, #6 Volare E Mambo, #10 State Secret, #1 As Fate Has It
Fairview, 10.01.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R76.000, 15:53GMT+2
Race Summary: A very open-looking race. WORDSWORTH is knocking hard at the door and could go one better this time. FREDERICOS PASSION is capable of an upset if finding his best form. CRUZADOR won a good race last time out and would not be a surprise winner. WAR SWORD seems better than the last run would suggest. SEATTLE RIPPER is unreliable but has a winning chance. JACKSON MISISSIPPI and FUTURE OF ENERGY are both capable of winning.
Selections:
#6 Wordsworth, #8 Seattle Ripper, #11 Jackson Misissippi, #2 Cruzador
Fairview, 10.01.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R81.000, 16:28GMT+2
Race Summary: Another competitive handicap and it may pay to have as many runners as possible in the Pick 6. MY AMI BEACH needs a very fast pace to be seen at her best. She may get it this time and this is her favourite course and distance. EUROPEAN SUMMER and MISS SHAIVI have both done enough of late to be considered possible winners. BOSNAY and PINK MOON are both recent winners who could be better than their handicap ratings. SHARAPOVA has improved of late on the Polytrack and has a winning chance. KOMESANS PASSION is very consistent and is clearly not out of it.
Selections:
#4 My Ami Beach, #1 European Summer, #2 Miss Shaivi, #8 Sharapova
Best Win: #2 CATCH YOUR BREATH
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #4 MY AMI BEACH
