Fairview Selections (Betting odds are correct at the time of writing and are subject to change).
Race 1 – 1200m (Maiden Plate)
RAIN BIRD has consistent form, and her maiden win is not far away. She drops back to 1200m but will have no issues with the distance. With some luck, from her wide draw, she should contest the finish.
Suggested Bet – RAIN BIRD EW @ 8/1✅ EW Win
Race 2 – 1300m (Open Maiden)
KING’S SAILOR has fair recent form and is weighted well in this open maiden race. He represents the EW value in this race, and I expect him to run into the money.
Suggested Bet – KING’S SAILOR EW @ 10/1✅ EW Win

Race 3 – 1400m (FM 92 Handicap)
It is a competitive race to start the Pick 6, and you must go wide. I like UNITED EXPRESS to run well now that she has her peak run. After winning four in a row, she was rested and produced two disappointing runs in her return. However, now it is her peak run, and she should strip fitter. It’s a small EW bet at very generous odds.
Suggested Bet – UNITED EXPRESS EW @ 25/1❌
Race 4 – 1100m (Graduation Plate)
GIMME’S LASSIE is the class horse in this field and should take a power of beating. She takes a drop in class and carries 57.5kgs. If she runs anything like her current form, she will win cosily.
Suggested Bet – GIMME’S LASSIE to win @ 25/10❌
Race 5 – 1000m (MR 72 Handicap)
BETHEL takes a drop in class, and despite his big weight of 61.5kgs, he is the horse to beat. He has won once and finished twice in his last four starts, so is in a good space. At 5/1, his EW odds are very generous.
Suggested Bet – BETHEL EW @ 5/1✅ EW Win
Race 6 – 1400m (FM 76 Handicap)
VALERIAS DREAM ran well on debut in Fairview and finished second behind a good sort in MY BEST SHOT. She should strip fitter from that run, and despite carrying 62kgs, she is a top contender here. With some luck in running, she should finish in the placings.
Suggested Bet – VALERIAS DREAM EW @ 6/1❌
Race 7 – 1200m (Leg 1 – Eastern Cape Poly Challenge)
The featured race of the card, and I love the value of the mare MISS GREENLIGHT. She has top form since relocating to the Eastern Cape. Carded to race with 58.5kgs, she should give her male rivals a stiff challenge.
Suggested Bet – MISS GREENLIGHT EW @ 7/1❌
Race 8 – 1600m (MR 82 Handicap)
GOLDEN LINK was not disgraced in a Listed event last time, and that form line has worked out well. The three-year-old is progressive and can run well here against older rivals. At 8/1, he represents the EW value in the lucky last.
Suggested Bet – GOLDEN LINK EW @ 8/1❌
