WSB’s Top Tips for Fairview – Friday, 19 September 2025
Race 1 – American Matador
Trainer: G D Smith | Jockey: S Liyaba
A consistent performer who should be hard to beat dropping back to this shorter trip.
Race 3 – Japanese Garden
Trainer: W Miller | Jockey: M V’Rensburg
Makes her local debut and brings solid Gauteng form. If she adapts well, she can go very close here.
Race 6 – Outback Express
Trainer: J Strydom | Jockey: C Maujean
Lost the race in the boardroom last time out but continues to improve. Needs to prove himself on turf, yet looks ready for better luck.
Race 7 – My Best Shot
Trainer: A C Greeff | Jockey: R Fourie
Among the Eastern Cape’s top talents. Disappointed on return from KwaZulu-Natal but remains capable of delivering a strong performance.
