Race 1
Race Summary: A weak race. FIRE ALARM was slowly away on debut and was given a soft introduction to racing. She should be smarter this time and looks the one to be with. COOL CAT tries the Polytrack and will have blinkers on this time so an improved run can be expected. HIERSDIEDING makes his debut so keep an eye on the betting. BLUEBERRY BLUE was not disgraced on debut and should do a lot better this time. CAN'T SAY NO is clearly better than her last run would suggest and should be right there at the finish. OH MY GUCCI GIRL can contest the finish.

Selections:
#8 Fire Alarm, #7 Can'T Say No, #6 Blueberry Blue, #3 Hiersdieding

Race 2
Race Summary: HAVANA GREY ran a cracker on her debut and with improvement likely could be the one to beat. GOTCHA BUZZ seems better than her last run and could earn some more money. FIVE STAR MAGIC is much better than her last run would suggest but is trying the Polytrack. YELLOW JACKET is speedy and could be a threat. BELLA ATTRICE and BEST INTENTIONS are struggling maidens but are also capable of earning some money. ARABIAN RED makes her local debut and would not be a surprise winner trying the Polytrack.

Selections:
#4 Havana Grey, #3 Five Star Magic, #5 Yellow Jacket, #6 Bella Attrice

Race 3
Race Summary: A competitive-looking race. PRINCESS VIRGINIE looked a much-improved sort and was not disgraced when third on local debut. This surface suited her and she can do even better this time around. There have been excuses for the last two runs from CICADIDAE but jockey Richard Fourie sticks with her and she should be a threat to these rivals. PRINCESS VRITTI returns from a break and tries the Polytrack after a change of trainers and would not be a surprise winner. MY TRUE LOVE is holding her form well but is not well drawn. It is hard to see anything else winning, but SUNDROP is also capable of contesting the finish again.

Selections:
#3 Princess Virginie, #1 Cicadidae, #2 Princess Vritti, #8 My True Love

Race 4
Race Summary: A tough race for punters and it could pay to go very wide in the exotics such as the Pick 6. COLD TRUTH has won on this surface and can bounce back from a modest run. EXECUTOR has the form to win a race like this but has her issues. FAIRY TRIPP may have just needed her local debut so could pop up and win this time around. ANIARA showed improvement last time out and deserves respect for that run. QUEEN OF GAUL could improve trying this surface after a change of trainer. SI GIOCA likes the Polytrack and can contest the finish. GLOBAL GODDESS and KILEIGHS FATE are also possible surprisers.

Selections:
#5 Cold Truth, #3 Fairy Tripp, #2 Executor, #1 Aniara

Race 5
Race Summary: Another race to include as many as possible in the Pick 6. FOREST SPY has not won for some time but is capable of winning. SEATTLE RIPPER is better than his last run would suggest and could pop up to win a race like this. GRADUATION TIME has run well on this surface. EXHALE has been best over further but could win on local debut. GEORGIE GEORGE won well last time out and deserves some respect. JOYOUS JUBILEE, GREAT TIMES and DUKE OF ORANGE are capable of getting involved with the finish.

Selections:
#4 Forest Spy, #6 Joyous Jubilee, #7 Great Times, #2 Graduation Time

Race 6
Race Summary: MY BEST SHOT bounced into form with a bang and was an impressive winner trying a turn for the first time. That was on the turf and the second horse that day has let the side down subsequently but he may well follow up and beat these rivals. PASHTUNWALI is not well drawn but can contest the finish. DESTINY'S ANGEL is probably better on the turf but is not out of it. SCAMPTON makes his local debut and it could be a winning one. WIND SOCK is not an easy ride but is in good form and clearly not out of it. BENNELONG POINT and CAPTAINS WALK are also in with a chance of earning some money.

Selections:
#6 My Best Shot, #5 Wind Sock, #4 Scampton, #1 Pashtunwali

Race 7
Race Summary: An interesting handicap. UNITED EXPRESS has been a revelation of late, winning her last four starts, but she has struggled in her last two and has not won on this surface. RIVER QUERARESS has run in better fields than this and could bounce back to score. IDITA was impressive in her last win on this surface but has struggled of late. CHRONICLESOFNANIA and UNYIELDING are both better on the turf but could earn some money. AERIAL VIEW and OPERA SWING have possible place chances.

Selections:
#4 United Express, #2 Idita, #10 Jam Jam, #1 River Queraress

Race 8
Race Summary: The lucky last race tough handicap. GREAT AFFAIR has won on the Polytrack and looked a bit unlucky last time so could pick off a race like this. JUAN CARLOS could like this track and trip and deserves respect. PUERTO PLATA is unbeaten in two starts at this course, but both were on the grass. He is also not well drawn. ALADO'S PRIDE is better than the last run would suggest and has a place chance. REACH FORTHE STARS is course-and-distance suited so can contest the finish. HAROLD THE DUKE has run well in both starts at Fairview but tries the Polytrack. ELLIS ISLAND is probably better on the grass but could play a minor role.

Selections:
#5 Great Affair, #2 Puerto Plata, #1 Juan Carlos, #8 Harold The Duke

Best Win: #8 FIRE ALARM             
Best Value Bet:                    
Best Longshot: #5 GREAT AFFAIR
