Monday Feature Race
R175,000 FAIRVIEW 1900
The Fairview 1900 takes centre stage and looks a fascinating contest, with stamina, positioning and Polytrack experience likely to prove decisive in the closing stages.
Track Details & Course Guide
Polytrack Overview
Fairview’s Polytrack is a 1800m near-oval circuit, positioned inside the turf course, with all races run clockwise. The 400m run-in places an emphasis on horses that can maintain momentum and finish strongly under pressure.
Draw Bias
-
Lower draws tend to hold an advantage up to 1600m, especially when the pace is moderate early.
-
Position in running is crucial — runners left with too much ground to make up often struggle to get into contention.
The Polytrack generally provides consistent, fair racing, making it a reliable surface for form students and confident betting strategies.
Weather & Going
-
Forecast: Sunny, 29°C
-
Wind: Easterly tailwind at up to 56km/h
-
Going: Polytrack rated Standard
-
False Rail: Set 3m out at the 421m mark
Conditions look ideal overall, although the strong tailwind could favour horses able to quickly change gears late rather than those relying purely on stamina.
