RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: FAIRVIEW / GREYVILLE@2025.02.07
Fairview, 07.02.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R78.000, 12:20GMT+2
Race Summary: Master Of My Fate colt KING PRAWN can add to that list under jockey Richard Fourie. ABOVE THE HORIZON was not disgraced on debut and can be a threat with improvement likely. GALILEO STAR attracted betting support on debut and could improve after that experience. RIVER FERN and TOWER OF LONDON could be ready for this, their debut and keep an eye on the betting on them. WINTER WARFARE was not disgraced on debut and should fight out the finish.
Selections: #4 King Prawn, #9 Winter Warfare, #1 Above The Horizon, #3 Galileo Star
Fairview, 07.02.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R108.000, 12:55GMT+2
Race Summary: A small field and it really should be fought out by KINGDUNDEE, CLIFF TOP and THE WINTER LAKE. Three-year-old gelding KINGDUNDEE is rated to win this comfortably if the official handicapper is to be believed. He has not been seen since July 2024, though. CLIFF TOP blows hot and cold but if fit he should be right there at the finish over this particular course and distance. THE WINTER LAKE is not reliable but is suited to this distance and is clearly not out of it.
Selections: #2 Cliff Top, #3 The Winter Lake, #1 Kingdundee, #5 Ledell’s Echo
Fairview, 07.02.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R71.000, 13:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Trippi filly ORIGINAL COPY makes her debut. She represents the Alan Greeff – Richard Fourie team and they have been lethal with well-backed newcomers of late. AND ACTION ran well back on the turf last week and can contest the finish again. The rider of SEEKING THE LIFE faces sanctions for his ride on her last time out and she would not be a surprise winner. HAT MAN and BOMPAS showed improvement in their latest starts and can get involved with the finish again.
Selections: #3 Original Copy, #4 Seeking The Life, #2 And Action, #6 Hat Man
Fairview, 07.02.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R71.000, 14:05GMT+2
Race Summary: GREENLIGHT LEGEND was not reliable in the Western Cape but would not be a surprise winner on local debut after a change of trainer. GENTEEL did not show her best last time out but is capable of fighting out the finish. EXTRACTION has struggled of late but is not out of it on her best form. ELEGANT APPEAL put in a career-best performance on the Polytrack last time out but will need to repeat it back on the turf. LADY SONATINE is well drawn and has a place chance.
Selections: #4 Greenlight Legend, #6 Lady Sonatine, #2 Genteel, #3 Extraction
Fairview, 07.02.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R75.000, 14:40GMT+2
Race Summary: WELSH STARLET showed good improvement when third last time out. She is distance-suited and can contest the finish. AMERICAN MATADOR is knocking loudly at the door and can go one better trying a lot further. ORANJEMUND was too far back last time and will do a lot better this time around. VISIONARY DREAMER was not disgraced last time out and improvement is expected over this course and distance.
Selections: #11 Welsh Starlet, #1 American Matador, #3 Oranjemund, #5 Visionary Dreamer
Fairview, 07.02.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R76.000, 15:15GMT+2
Race Summary: LAZY GUY only found one better on the day on local debut and could score. CORAL CREEK tried a feature last time out and could improve back in a handicap. FLASH LIGHTNING showed what he is capable of with a good win last time out and can follow up under a penalty. GUNSMOKE is not reliable but should be included in all bets. MAGNUM FIRE and RUSSIAN EMPIRE are both unreliable but do win when they are in the right mood so are others to consider.
Selections: #8 Lazy Guy, #2 Flash Lightning, #10 Russian Empire, #9 Magnum Fire
Fairview, 07.02.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R88.000, 15:55GMT+2
Race Summary: IGNITETHELIGHT has shown vast improvement since joining trainer Alan Greeff and her last run was particularly impressive. All those runs were on the Polytrack and she has to prove herself back on the turf. STRANGE MAGIC is unreliable but is also capable of earning some money. ARABIAN RED has improved of late and would not be a surprise winner. VOLARE E MAMBO ran well on local debut but is not well drawn. COURAGEOUS makes her local debut and can earn some money. SUN SPECTACULAR and GREENLIGHT DANCER are two others to consider for the places.
Selections: #2 Ignitethelight, #7 Volare E Mambo, #5 Arabian Red, #3 Treasure Hunt
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 07.02.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R80,000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: LA VIDA LOCA (6) found a potential star last time out. Shows some promise although making her poly debut. NAUTICAL LANDING (7) has shown her best form over course and distance and could be the stable elect although WHITE WATERS (1) is way better than her last run and with a 4kg claimer up from the best of the draw could see her home. ROYAL MERMAID (4) improved second time out and is one to watch in the market.
Selections: #6 LA VIDA LOCA, #7 NAUTICAL LANDING, #1 WHITE WATERS, #4 ROYAL MERMAID
Fairview, 07.02.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R95.000, 16:30GMT+2
Race Summary: GREENLIGHT EXPRESS is improving and could have more to offer. WHATEVER NEXT has been good of late and sets the standard but he may be vulnerable to younger improving runners. ABOUND has talent and won well last time out so should be a lively danger. FOREST SPY has been very consistent of late and is not out of it. MASKED VIGILANTE is very consistent and will be competitive yet again. SON OF ZEUS is usually a threat this track and trip. EXPLOSIVE SPEED won a good race last time out and can follow up. ROOMFORMANOEUVRE does look better than the last run would suggest. CHAMPONELLE was a wide-margin winner on local debut.
Selections: #14 Greenlight Express, #3 Whatever Next, #10 Explosive Speed, #11 Roomformanoeuvre
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 07.02.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R135,000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: HOPE IS POWER (6) is in good form and will go close on best effort. RED ROSES TOO (1) is never far back and goes well on the poly. CELTIC CHIEF (5) is lightly raced but useful on his day. Last win was on the poly but should feature with this weight. MISTER MASTER STARTER (3) has been costly to follow but stable has hit form.
Selections: #6 HOPE IS POWER, #3 MR MASTER STARTER, #1 RED ROSES TOO, #5 CELTIC CHIEF
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 07.02.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R80,000, 17:20GMT+2
Race Summary: MAMAS BABY (7) won well over course and distance last time out and although jumping six points in the handicap she still looks to have her opposition held given that she met most of them last time out. DRIVE BY (6) was second best behind Mamas Baby and with a 7kg swing in the weights courtesy of a 4kg claimer, She can get closer. SWEET JULIA (8) is seldom far back but struggling for her second win.
Selections: #7 MAMAS BABY, #6 DRIVE BY, #8 SWEET JULIA, #3 SWISS PARADISE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 07.02.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R148,000, 17:55GMT+2
Race Summary: MR HOTSTEPPER (4) made nearly all before being caught on the line last time out. He shed his Maiden over course and distance and looks good in this field. KING OF SPIN (1) was just in need of his last run and will be a big threat. The filly SOVEREIGN GRANT (5) is the best weighted and may just have needed her last run from a wide draw. LITTLEBLACKVELVET (3) is never far back and gets a change of rider. Last win was course and distance.
Selections: #4 MR HOTSTEPPER, #1 KING OF SPIN, #5 SOVEREIGN GRANT, #3 LITTLEBLACKVELVET
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 07.02.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R90,000, 18:30GMT+2
Race Summary: NUMZAAN (6) caught the eye when making his debut for his new stable and Lerena is an eye-catching booking. LOU THE LEGEND (8) comes off a short break. He is consistent but has been costly to follow. MAC HARDY (3) has useful form on the poly and should go close again. FUTURE SAINT (1) is improving slowly and is one to keep an eye on.
Selections: #6 NUMZAAN, #3 MAC HARDY, #8 LOU LOU THE LEGEND, #1 FUTURE SAINT
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 07.02.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1800m, Poly, R90,000, 19:05GMT+2
Race Summary: Stable rider Athandiwe Mgudlwa is aboard KING BAVARIAN (4) who is struggling for his next win but is consistent. Lerena is aboard WAVE WARRIOR (7) who is a poly specialist and also in good form. ENGLISH PRIMROSE (3) was rested after a disappointing outing on the turf. Her best recent form is on the poly.
Selections: #7 WAVE WARRIOR, #4 KING BAVARIAN, #3 ENGLISH PRIMROSE, #2 THESUPERNOVASTAR
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 07.02.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R110,000, 19:40GMT+2
Race Summary: GREY FANTASY (7) is overdue and the step up in trip should be ideal. Stable companion SKYTRIX (2) is no slouch and showed up well first run back from a break over a mile on the turf. She has the better draw and her last win was on the poly. MISS PAGET (8) loves course and distance although she does come off a short break. POURSOMESUGARONME (10) has been threatening for some time now and cannot be ignored.
Selections: #7 GREY FANTACY, #10 POURSOMESUGARONME, #2 SKYTRIX, #8 MISS PAGET
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 07.02.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R120,000, 20:10GMT+2
Race Summary: TERMINATOR (6) was a beaten favourite first local run. Can make amends. KIMBAL O’HARA (4) has been consistent and should feature prominently again in this line-up. BENNI IN THE AREA (9) is back over his favourite course and distance and his last run is best ignored.
Selections: #6 TERMINATOR, #4 KIMBALL O’HARA, #9 BENNI IN THE AREA, #3 VOLDEMORT
Best Win: #2 IGNITETHELITE #7 MAMAS BABY
Best Value Bet: #7 GREY FANTACY
Best Longshot: #14 GREENLIGHT EXPRESS #1 FUTURE SAINT
