- We bring you Magic Tips' best betting tips at Fairview on Wednesday 1st July
- Homing Pigeon and Blue Palace are tipped to win
Fairview racecourse stages a rare midweek meeting today, and the first race is set to go off at 11:25am (UK Time). To help you try and find a few winners, here are Magic Tips' South African Horse Racing selections for today.
Fairview Tips - Wednesday 1st July
Race 4 - GREEK HEIRESS (1)
GREEK HEIRESS has relocated to the Eastern Cape and is having her first outing for the Kelly Mitchley stable. She was a tad disappointing in her last start over this distance on the Hollywoodbets Greyville polytrack. The booking of Craig Zackey is a big plus and on best form shown, she may be the one to beat.
Race 5 - HOMING PIGEON (5)
HOMING PIGEON finished 0.75 lengths behind HELIOTROPE last time. She is 2.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough to turn the form around. She finished third in her only attempt over this distance. If getting away on terms, she can return to winning ways.
Race 6 - JAPANESE GARDEN (3)
JAPANESE GARDEN stayed on when second over this C&D last time. The daughter of Danon Platina has dropped to a competitive rating. She is drawn widest of all but Marco van Rensburg knows her well and should give her all the necessary assistance from the saddle.
Race 7 - EUGENIUS (1)
EUGENIUS won his local debut over 1200m on this course. He took the lead at the 600m mark and held on where it matters most. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. The son of Vercingetorix takes on stronger but from his good draw of three, he can follow up.
Race 8 - BLUE PALACE (7)
BLUE PALACE finished 0.1 lengths behind ENDEARED last time. She is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough to turn the form around. If getting away on terms, she can return to winning ways. ENDEARED won a game race over 1600m on this course last time. She received a three-pound penalty for that victory. She has cracked a good draw of two and can follow up.
Verdict
Homing Pigeon (Race 5) Magic Tips' best bet of the day at Fairview on Wednesday.
