Winning Form selections for Fairview on Friday 4th July where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter @Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge
RACE 1
BATTLE OF BRITAIN returns from a 17-week break and is having her first run for the Gavin Smith stable. The daughter of Lancaster Bomber should have no issues with the rise to 2000m. Craig Zackey is booked to ride and if taking to this surface, she can shed her maiden tag in this field.
CELTIQUE showed improvement in her last start over this distance on the turf. She stayed on at the finish that day. The daughter of Vercingetorix carries a handy galloping mass of 52kgs, and she is one of the leading contenders.
PRESERVE FOREVER is better than her last start against male company. Her penultimate run when second over 1900m on this course was encouraging. If finding the form of that outing, she should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
RACE 2
ALEX MILLER is having her first run for the Cliffie Miller stable. She has been disappointing in her last three starts. She showed some promise earlier in her career. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight tries the polytrack and if suited to the surface, she should give the males a run for their money.
GLOBAL DRUMBEAT‘S last two starts on this course have been fair. He is having his peak run and will be cherry-ripe. Should the top choice fluff her lines, he may be the one to pick up the pieces.
AMERICAN MATADOR has been reported to be coughing in his last two starts on the turf. He finished second over 1600m on this course, three runs ago. If putting his best foot forward, he should be involved at the finish.
RACE 3
BEACH QUEEN hails from the visiting Justin Snaith stable. She stayed on at the finish over 1500m on the Hollywoodbets Kenilworth winter course last time. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight should be ideally suited to this distance. Apprentice Jacey Botes takes the 4kgs off her back and from pole position, she can shed her maiden tag.
AMANATTO returns from a 10-week break and is having her first run for Alan Greeff. She has some fair form lines to her name. With a bit of luck from the widest draw, she should throw out a big challenge to the top choice.
DANCING IN WINTER has decent recent form lines to her name. She finished second over 1400m on this course in her penultimate run. She is likely to race on the speed from her good draw of two and may be hard to peg back.
RACE 4
MUNCHKIN should have finished closer to the winner over 1000m on the turf last time as he had to be steadied at the 100m mark. The son of Rafeef drops back in class and may enjoy racing on the polytrack. His good draw of two is a big plus and he can return to winning ways.
THUNDER MASTER stayed on when fifth over 1300m on the polytrack last time. It must be noted that Sharapova has come out and won again since. Andrew Fortune is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
JAMBO SANA should have finished closer last time as she was baulked for running room at the 150m mark. Four of her five career victories have come over this C&D. She is having her peak run and would not be a shock winner.

RACE 5
INDEBE MAYIBUYE ran a decent race when fourth over 1000m last time. She won her penultimate outing over this distance on the turf. Craig Zackey is booked to ride from pole position. If taking to the polytrack, she should give the males a run for their money.
MASKED VIGILANTE finished 0.05 lengths behind BEECHAMWOOD BOY last time. He is 0.5kgs better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish. He is having his peak run and is one of the leading contenders.
DUBAI HILLS won his last start over this C&D easier than the official margin suggests. He received a three-pound penalty for that victory. The son of Flower Alley runs well for Xolani Ndlovu and the combination merit healthy respect.
Race 6
JADE‘S CABERNEIGH ran a fair race when fifth over 1000m on this course last time. She returns from a 17-week break which may have done her the world of good. She has won once, finished second once and third twice from six starts over this C&D. If not in need of the run, she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
SILVA CITY has been campaigning in features in her last five starts. She makes her handicap debut and carries a big mass of 62.5kgs. If taking to the polytrack, she should pose a threat.
HER ROYALTY ran a fair race when fourth over this C&D last time. The removal of the blinkers seems to have done the trick. She is likely to race on the speed from pole position and may be hard to peg back.
RACE 7
FIRST WISH found one too good in the Non-Black Type Wedgewood Handicap last time. She has won twice and finished third once from five starts on this course. Her last victory came over this distance. Andrew Fortune rides and if getting away on terms, she should be the one to beat.
LOTUS ISLAND finished 2.75 lengths behind the top choice last time. She is 1kg worse off at the weights today and may have to settle for the same result. She is unbeaten from two starts on this course and will be looking to keep that record intact.
HONORABLE MEMBER stayed on when third over 1600m on the turf last time. She finished second in her only attempt on this course. The daughter of Rabada runs well for Luyolo Mxothwa and the combination merit healthy respect.
RACE 8
VALERIAS DREAM won a good race over this C&D last time. She set the pace and found more where it matters most. She returns from a well-deserved 10-week break which would have done her the world of good. She runs well for Stallone Naidoo and if not in need of the run, she may be hard to peg back.
NEMOROSA followed up her maiden victory with a good second-place finish over 1200m on this course. She raced from a handy position but found one too good in the form of Baie Mooi. Should the top choice fluff her lines, she may be the one to pick up the pieces.
SHARAPOVA has top consistent form lines to her credit. She drew off late under Kendall Minnie last time and against similar company, she can bring up the hat-trick
