Fairview Poly Selections
Place your bets at Tic Tac Bets, where you will find the best odds.
Race 1 – 1200m (Maiden Juvenile Plate)
Confetti has produced two excellent runs, and her first win is not far away. She has run well on the poly, and Richard Fourie may get the best out of her.
Suggested Bet – Confetti to win @ 2/1✅
Race 2 – 1100m (Maiden Plate)
Consigliere is having his second run in the province and can improve. His first run was poor, but multiple winners have come from that form line. Now that he is settled in new surroundings, he should run better.
Suggested Bet – Consigliere EW @ 5.5/1✅ EW Place
Race 3 – 1200m (Open Maiden)
Elusive Hunter has not shown anything in her career as yet. She could produce a surprise run on the poly at massive odds. She is carrying 48kgs and has never carried such a low weight. That could make all the difference for the filly, and we will have a small EW bet.
Suggested Bet – Elusive Hunter EW @ 67/1❌
Race 4 – 1900m (Maiden Plate)
Havre De Grace has produced two poor runs in the Eastern Cape. She did have some excuses in her last start, so we will ignore that run. She should be settled in the Cape now and can return to her KZN form.
Suggested Bet – Havre De Grace EW @ 5/1❌

Race 5 – 2000m (MR 86 Handicap)
Alado’s Pride went gun to tape in his last start win. Apprentice jockey Nirvin Nastili was on board in that race, and he has a good understanding of the horse. The six-year-old is taking on much stronger in this race but can be competitive at 50kgs.
Suggested Bet – Alado’s Pride EW @ 7/1✅ EW Win
Race 6 – 2000m (FM 82 Handicap)
Raising Quinn has consistent form and is weighted to run into the money. The mare carries a handy galloping mass of 55.5kgs and is a contender. The 2000m should not be a problem; she should stay on at the finish.
Suggested Bet – Raising Quinn EW @ 6/1❌
Race 7 – 1200m (FM 78 Handicap)
Red Sash has produced two excellent runs since relocating from the Western Cape. She has the widest draw to overcome in this race. She should mow them down if she is not too far back at the finish.
Suggested Bet – Red Sash EW @ 5/1❌
Race 8 – 1300m (FM 66 Handicap)
Angelsea showed signs of a form return in her last run. She finished a close-up third, and the jockey Keanen Steyn retained the ride. If she can reaffirm that form, she is a lurker at attractive EW odds in the last.
Suggested Bet – Angelsea EW @ 11/1❌
