Racing takes place on the polytrack at Fairview Racecourse this afternoon and eight races are carded.
The combination of Alan Greeff and Winning Form-sponsored jockey Richard Fourie team up in all eight races with a few decent winning chances. The first is due off at 12h30.

Three Rocks takes her place in Race 2 and she is the best bet on the programme. She produced a promising debut effort over this distance on the turf. She raced from just off the pace and rallied late to finish second. She would have come on from the run and if suited to the polytrack, she should take a power of beating.
Trainer Jacques Strydom saddles Euphoric in Race 7. He stayed on strongly when second over this course and distance last time but found one too good in the form of Equestrian Affair.
He has won once, finished second four times and third once from eight starts over this course and distance. He has cracked a good draw of three and can notch up his seventh career victory.
Donald Geertshen is not riding today.
