Fairview, 04.04.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R78.000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: BONJOUR LA VILLE did not show her best on a soft track last time out. She had previously done much better behind that same rival and she can bounce back to beat this opposition. ACAPELLA makes her debut for a trainer that has juvenile winners. AUGUSTA ROSSO represents the Richard Fourie-Alan Greeff team and she would not be a surprise winner on debut. BUDDLEJA is a nicely bred filly that could score on debut. IVY showed pace last time and could earn some more money. Stable companion MIND FREEZE has run well twice and can contest the finish.
Selections: #3 Bonjour La Ville, #7 Mind Freeze, #4 Buddleja, #2 Augusta Rosso
Fairview, 04.04.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R78.000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: BLOWN AWAY was beaten by a decent looking sort and can go one better this time. ACTION AMERICA was not disgraced on debut and could improve. DIVO MONDO is a One World newcomer who could be above average and an eye on the betting will be a guide to his chances. WINTER WARFARE is improving and should fight out the finish yet again. SECRET CHOICE has not shown much yet but is capable of improvement.
Selections: #2 Blown Away, #8 Winter Warfare, #1 Action America, #3 Divo Mondo
Fairview, 04.04.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R75.000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: A competitive race. ASINANTANGA has looked unlucky not to win either of his local starts and with luck in running can go one better. GRAND ALLEGRO showed improvement on local debut and should fight out the finish once again. CHEERFUL CHARLIE B is holding form and can be competitive again. MR FOX disappointed on local debut but can do a lot better this track and distance. MONOCLE did not show his best last time out but has a place chance. ALWAYS SHINING does seem at best on the Polytrack these days.
Selections: #1 Asinantanga, #3 Grand Allegro, #6 Mr Fox, #4 Flight Engineer
Fairview, 04.04.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R104.000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: LUNA HALO has always been at her very best over this course and distance and is weighted to win this race. GIMME’S LASSIE is clearly a lot better than her last run would suggest and can bounce back to be a threat. ESSENTIAL is holding her form and will be right there at the finish. AS FATE HAS IT is capable of getting into the mix of things this distance. PROTECT THE DREAM and AMAZING COLOURS would be surprise winners at the weights but could earn some money. VOLARE E MAMBO can earn some minor money.
Selections: #1 Luna Halo, #2 Gimme’s Lassie, #3 Essential, #4 As Fate Has It
Fairview, 04.04.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R76.000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: A tough race and it might pay to go very wide in exotics like the Pick 6. GLOBAL BANKER continues to have a drop in his merit rating but with a 4kg penalty he may attempt start to finish tactics. STRATA won a good race last time out and could be a threat again despite carrying a penalty for that win. MUNCHKIN is holding form and has a winning chance. CRUZADOR and GUARDING THE WALL are both capable of winning when they are in the right mood. WAR SWORD and WORDSWORTH have also done enough of late to be considered possible winners.
Selections: #14 Global Banker, #1 Strata, #3 Munchkin, #9 Ravilious
Fairview, 04.04.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R78.500, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Another very competitive big field handicap and a wide spread of runners will be needed for all exotics. DRESSEDTOTHENINES makes her debut and would not be a surprise winner. SMASHING has been good of late at this centre and has a winning chance. Blinkers have helped with SEE YOU IN A BIT and she can contest the finish. COLD TRUTH, STRING OF LIGHTS, HUGSANDHIGHFIVES, KOMESANS PASSION and FULL OF MAGIC are all capable of scoring.
Selections: #7 Smashing, #6 Dressedtothenines, #5 Thing Called Love, #4 See You In A Bit
Fairview, 04.04.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 2800m, Turf, R175.000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: This distance will test most of them. JOY AND PEACE has yet to go this far but was a good winner when put over 2400m last year and stable jockey Richard Fourie in the irons and that could tell the story for this race. FIREALLEY is in good form and capable of contesting the finish. BOURNEMOUTH is hat-trick seeking after some solid wins and will be a danger. ZATARA MAGIC is a game front-runner who will not go down without a fight. OFFICIAL SECRET, WOMAN’S WORLD and JUAN CARLOS are all consistent and capable of earning some money.
Selections: #4 Joy And Peace, #2 Bournemouth, #1 Firealley, #3 Zatara Magic
Fairview, 04.04.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R76.000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: The usual difficult last race handicap. NOTHINGELSEMATTERS is holding form and can fight out the finish yet again. HAARLEM is improving and has a winning chance. ORANJEMUND is better than his last run would suggest and could surprise. FEARLESS BADGER, MAGNUM FIRE and SWEET NOTHINGS have all been fair of late and could earn some money. FUTURE OF ENERGY has improved of late and could do even better this time around.
Selections: #2 Nothingelsematters, #1 Haarlem, #5 Oranjemund, #14 Future Of Energy
Best Win: #1 LUNA HALO
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #14 GLOBAL BANKER
