Fairview Racecourse hosts its usual Friday meeting today, with the first race set to go off at 10:25am (UK Time). To help you try and find a few winners, here are Magic Tips' South African Horse Racing selections for today.

Fairview Tips - Friday 17th January


Race 3 - MY BEST SHOT (1)


MY BEST SHOT was an easy winner of his last start over 1600m on the polytrack. He took the lead at the 400m mark that day and won with a ton in hand. He has been gelded since that outing. The son of Fire Away has won three times and finished third once from as many starts over this C&D. He is the class horse in this contest and should be the one to beat. 

Race 5 - HEART STEALER (1)


HEART STEALER ran a good race when third over this distance on the polytrack last time. He jumped inwards leaving the start and stayed on at the business end. The blinkers have been re-fitted which should put his mind on the task at hand. He jumps from pole position and may be the one to side with. 

Race 6 - LEGAL THRILLER (1)


LEGAL THRILLER rallied late when second over this distance on the polytrack last time. The blinkers have been re-fitted which should keep his mind on the task at hand. He takes a slight drop in class and can notch up his third-career victory.

Race 7 - HOLOCENE (3)


HOLOCENE ran on strongly when second over 1400m on the polytrack last time. The son of Heavenly Blue meets a similar line-up this afternoon and with Richard Fourie retaining the ride, he should be the one to beat. 

Race 8 - PASSCHENDAELE (2)


PASSCHENDAELE was not disgraced when fifth in the Grade 3 Betway Carry On Alice Stakes last time. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. She has won once, finished second once and third once from five starts on this course. The daughter of Querari has class about her and may be the one to side with. 

Verdict

 My Best Shot (Race 3) is Magic Tips' best bet of the day at Fairview on Friday.
