TAB Fairview Poly Wednesday 11 November 2026 – Comments by Trevor Reid
RACE 1
EL COHETE makes her local debut trying the Polytrack. She is the one to beat. TAKEACHANCEONME disappointed on local debut but is capable of better and should make the frame. AMERICAN GEM is threatening a first success and must be respected. CERTAINLYDIFFERENT is capable of improvement and has a place chance.
RACE 2
A very open looking race. IMAGINABLE is probably better over a shorter distance but is also quite capable of beating these rivals. TRIPPING THUNDER does not always show his best but is capable of scoring. JOKER MAN has not won a race for some time, but jockey Richard Fourie sticks with him so he must be respected. Stable companion AUGUSTA ROSSO is not reliable but is also clearly in with a chance. Another Greeff runner COASTAL PATH is in good form but this is a tougher task. DYNALLEY struggled last time out but is capable of making all over this course and distance.
RACE 3
SCOTT’S BAR was only run out of it very late on local debut. He clearly has no issues with the Polytrack and can go one better. LADY OF FATE is not reliable but has a place chance. RUSSIAN FORT did not show much on local debut but will prefer this distance. COCO BEACH steps up in distance and could be a threat. FREESTYLE DANCE was seen to be finishing off her race well last time out and can be competitive. DIGITAL WARFARE is improving and is another to be considered.
RACE 4
KLEINZEE has stretched her unbeaten streak on the Polytrack to 7 and can add another win to that tally. She does try further this time and meets some talented rivals. DON’T CRY FOR ME was unplaced in his attempt at the Algoa Cup but did run well before that and can be a real test this distance. THE MIKADO has twice been beaten by another Alan Greeff trained runner Masterofthebaroque and is threatening to score. This course and distance suits him. HOME REEF is consistent and can contest the finish yet again. INTUITIVE SPIRIT needs to do more to score but might play a minor role.
RACE 5
PRETTY AWESOME looked an unlucky loser last time out. This appears a tougher task but she may well be up to it. SABRAGE remains in very good form but does have to give weight to most of his rivals. POLICY OF TRUTH is a dangerous front-runner and could make all the running if given a soft lead. WARHAWK BOMBER struggled in better races than this recently and could be the surprise package of the race. VILA VICOSA is in good form and should be included in all bets. HOODWINKED and LAGUNA VERDE both have a place chance.
RACE 6
REAL WAR remains in good shape and deserves a winning turn. Stable companion WHATEVER NEXT is on a long losing run but is quite capable of beating these rivals. DIAMOND MAKER is consistent and clearly not out of it. FLYING SKITT is improving and could be better than rated. IN THE BAG did not show his best on local debut. He returns from a break but could surprise for jockey Craig Zackey. CHARLIE MALONE and ALESIAN BEAU are not easy rides but are capable of playing minor roles.
RACE 7
SAY A PRAYER proved just in need of her last run. She is not well drawn but can beat these rivals with luck in running. POWEROFPEACE is clearly better than her last run suggests and would not be a surprise winner. MIDNIGHT MUSIC also did not show her best last time out but is capable of making the frame. REMIND ME OF YOU will strip fitter this time and could be a threat. TOKYO PRINCESS does battle to finish off but can earn some more money. LOVELY DANCER liked it back on the grass last time out and might be competitive in this line-up.
RACE 8
VIVO PER LEI has been very consistent of late. She makes the trip from the Western Cape and could prove hard to beat if as good on the Polytrack. JEWEL MULE is not well drawn but she is improving and can fight out the finish once again. MARKETA gets a good draw and can be competitive this time around. PRINCESS OF AJIAAL is not reliable but does have a place chance. MY AMI BEACH is unreliable but did win her penultimate start and cannot be ruled out from earning some money.
