Fairview, 11.04.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R78.000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: Trainer Gavin Smith has a stranglehold on this race. READY produced a good debut just last week and should go one better this time. Stable companion PRICELESS TREASURE showed promise on her debut and should fight out the finish again. SUPREME JUDGE might play a minor role. JET SET RUN needs to find a few lengths to win but could earn some minor money. SMART STAR and SOMBREUIL both make their debut and watch for market support for both.
Selections: #1 Ready, #4 Priceless Treasure, #6 Sombreuil, #3 Jet Set Run
Fairview, 11.04.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R78.000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: LADY BLUNT has been fair in her three starts in the Western Cape. She should fight out the finish. BAROLO showed promise on debut and looked an unlucky loser. She is quite capable of going one better this time around. DREAM TEAM needs to do more to win but could play a minor role. ROYAL CITY GIRL showed promise on debut and can contest the finish once again. SILVAN MISTRESS showed some improvement in her second start and has a winning chance in this line-up.
Selections: #5 Lady Blunt, #1 Barolo, #6 Royal City Girl, #8 Silvan Mistress
Fairview, 11.04.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R80.000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: WAHEED chased home a very good three-year-old last time out and should be rewardd for that with a victory this time around. MASTER FORESTER was a couple of lengths behind that rival last time out and should be a danger under Richard Fourie. CORAL CREEK needs to do more to beat these rivals but could play a minor role. AHEAD OF THE FACTS has a lot to do to beat WAHEED if official merit ratings are to believed but he can prove that wrong by winning.
Selections: #3 Waheed, #5 Ahead Of The Facts, #1 Master Forester, #4 Mister Speaker
Fairview, 11.04.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R150.000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Some improving fillies go to the post for this. LOTUS ISLAND has won her last three starts and stable jockey Richard Fourie will be aboard this filly so she gets the vote to score. FIRST WISH has also won her last three starts and has really shone since being stepped up in distance. TAP SHOES did not show her best last time out but has made the trip from the Western Cape and has a winning chance. GREENLITEALLTHEWAY has also made the trip from Cape Town and deserves respect in this line-up.
Selections: #1 Lotus Island, #2 First Wish, #5 Tap Shoes, #6 Greenlitealltheway
Fairview, 11.04.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R71.000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: A competitive maiden. Trainer Justin Snaith could have a good day and BLOSSOMING MIND showed improvement last time out so sets the standard for the race. GENTEEL is in good form and can contest the finish once again. TWILIGHT BAY makes her local debut and would not be a surprise winner. GLOBAL SCENE is well drawn and could earn some money. DUCHESS OF SEVILLE is better than she has been showing of late and could like this distance. DANCING IN WINTER is in good form and has a place chance.
Selections: #3 Blossoming Mind, #2 Twilight Bay, #1 Genteel, #6 Duchess Of Seville
Fairview, 11.04.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R90.000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: PRIME VENTURE is not well drawn but ran well when last seen at this track and can go one better in a competitive race. CENTRAL CITY is consistent and can contest the finish once again. Stable companion FINAL EDITION showed improvement last time and has a winning chance. GRANDIOSA was a good winner last time out and can follow up under a penalty. SUN SPECTACULAR is in good shape and is not out of it. WILLIAM THE FIRST does seem better on the Polytrack. MEETATTHEWINDSOR and ANCHOR MAN are others to consider.
Selections: #11 Prime Venture, #5 Grandiosa, #1 Central City, #10 Meetatthewindsor
Fairview, 11.04.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R175.000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: KINGDUNDEE is a very good three-year-old and was only run out of it very late last time. He was very impressive over this distance in his penultimate start and can go one better. MERCANTOUR was not far off that rival on local debut and can contest the finish again. FIRST ORIGIN returned to form with a good win last time out but this does look a tougher task. ANUSCHKA’S WORLD remains in good form and is not out of it. CLIFF TOP and KARANGETANG have place chances.
Selections: #1 Kingdundee, #3 Mercantour, #5 Anuschka’s World, #6 Cliff Top
Fairview, 11.04.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R80.000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: The normal open last race could have a competitive finish. SILVERY SURFER was full of running in his maiden win and could have more to offer. SWEET AND TRUE returned to form with a narrow win last time out and has more to do this time. COASTAL PATH likes this course and distance and has a winning chance. CAPTAIN TIK TOK is usually not far behind at the finish and can make the frame. CHAMPONELLE has improved at this centre and would not be a surprise winner. CHARLIE MALONE and KING RAHUL are capable of earning some money.
Selections: #2 Silvery Surfer, #3 Coastal Path, #6 Champonelle, #1 Sweet And True
Best Win: #1 KINGDUNDEE
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #2 SILVERY SURFER
