Winning Form selections for Fairview on Friday 28th August where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter @Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge
RACE 1
CAMDEN SQUARE showed some improvement when third over this distance on the polytrack last time. She raced from a handy position and stayed on at the business end. The daughter of Soqrat looks to be a progressive type. She carries a handy galloping mass of 54kgs and from pole position, she can win in this field.
FONTE did not settle in the early stages of her last start, but stayed on at the finish. She was beaten a neck into second in her penultimate effort. If Malesela Katjedi is able to switch her off early, she should throw out a big challenge to the top choice.
WITCHING HOUR ran a fair race over this distance on the polytrack last time. The booking of Muzi Yeni is a big plus and with luck in running, she should have a say.
RACE 2
LADY OF FATE was running on when third over 1600m on the polytrack last time. The daughter of Master Of My Fate should have no issues with the rise to 2000m. She carries a handy galloping mass of 54.5kgs and from her good draw of two, she may be the one to side with.
STRAIGHT RED is better than his last two starts on the polytrack. He finished third in his only attempt over this C&D. He will love the return to the turf and if getting away on terms, he may be the first male past the post.
LUCA DA WHEELS finished 2.25 lengths behind DEAD POETS SOCIETY last time. He is 4.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough to turn the form around. The son of Master Of My Fate would not be a shock winner.
RACE 3
BAD MEDICINE‘S last start in the Port Elizabeth Gold Cup is best ignored as he was reported to be not striding out. He won his previous five outings. The son of Vercingetorix is unbeaten from three starts on this course. He is suited to this distance and if all goes according to plan, he may be the one to beat.
ZATARA MAGIC set the pace over 1600m on the polytrack last time and stayed on to finish second. It must be noted that Zinovi has come out and won again since. He has won twice and finished second twice from as many starts over this C&D. If getting his own way in front, he may be hard to peg back.
FIREALLEY should have finished closer to the winner last time as he hung inwards in the final 300m. Two of his nine career victories have come over this distance. If keeping on a straight line, he should pose a threat.
RACE 4
PRETTY AWESOME is a well-bred daughter of Gimmethegreenlight. She was super-impressive when winning on debut over 1200m on the polytrack. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. She returns from a 14-week break, during which time she would have strengthened up nicely. She could be anything and if fit, she can remain unbeaten.
CARNIVAL made the expected natural improvement when winning her maiden over this distance on the polytrack last time. She returns from a well-deserved 10-week break. The daughter of Real Gone Kid is progressive and if fit, she should pose a threat.
CAPE CAPRI showed speed when winning her last start over this distance on the polytrack. She has won once and finished third once from three starts over this C&D. The daughter of Pomodoro is in a good space and may be hard to peg back.
RACE 5
SILVA CITY ran on strongly when second over 1200m on the polytrack last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. She has won once and finished second once from three starts over this C&D. She is versatile and Kabelo Matsunyane may be able to get the best out of her where it matters most.
AQUARIUS got up late when winning her last start over 1200m on the polytrack. Muzi Yeni retains the ride from a good draw of two and she is one of the leading contenders.
WISHES AND DREAMS finished 3.75 lengths behind the top choice last time. She is 1kg better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result. She returns from a 12-week break and if switching off early, she can finish in the placings.
RACE 6
OVERTURE lost a length leaving the start over 1200m on the polytrack last time, but finished off his race well. The son of Oratorio will love the return to the turf and should be ideally suited to the extra furlong on offer. He jumps from a good draw of two and if getting away on terms, he can notch up his second-career victory.
STARS IN HEAVEN was not beaten far over 1200m on the polytrack last time. The son of Danon Platina will love racing on the turf and two of his four career victories have come over this trip. He is drawn in pole position and should go close.
COASTAL PATH finished 0.25 lengths behind the top choice last time. He is 0.5kgs worse off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish.
RACE 7
This is a competitive Merit Rated 74 Handicap for the girls and caution is advised. VOLARE E MAMBO from the Duncan McKenzie stable is the tentative first choice. She is better than her last start as the jockey reported something to be amiss in running. The 16-week break may have done her the world of good. She has won once, finished second once and third four times from ten starts on this course. She is drawn in Barrier Three and if fit, she can return to winning ways.
KENTUCKY LASSIE stayed on when sixth over 1200m on the polytrack last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. She is back in Handicap Company and cannot be ignored.
GREEK HEIRESS ran a fair race over this distance on the polytrack last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She is back against her own sex and should feature.
RACE 8
GLOBAL SPEAK finished 4.25 lengths behind SAN QUINTIN last time. He is 7.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough to turn the form around. The son of One World should have no issues with the rise to 2400m. 4kgs claiming Apprentice Bongani Makhubo is booked to ride and if all goes according to plan, he can surprise.
SAN QUINTIN has good consistent form to his name. He was running on when third over 2000m on the polytrack last time. He always gives of his best and merits healthy respect.
OSMIUM finished 2.5 lengths behind the second selection in the race referred to above. He is 3kgs better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish
