Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday 28th December where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
MUSIC OF THE NIGHT ran a creditable race on debut over this C&D in the Non-Black Type Flash Summer Coronation Plate. She was green in running, but the manner in which she stayed on at the finish was encouraging. She would have come on from the run and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should be the one to beat.
GOOD FOR YOU ran a fair race on debut over this C&D. He lost two lengths leaving the start, raced green but stayed on at the finish. He would have gained from the experience and is one of the leading contenders.
ABSOLUTELY YES is an unraced son of Danon Platina from the Justin Snaith yard with JP van der Merwe up. He is related to a seven-time winner. If not too green, he should start his career positively. The betting market will be the best guide for him and the other unraced entrants.
Race 2
SONG TO THE MOON is a winner of his last two starts. He raced from a handy position over this C&D last time and kept rolling to keep all challengers at bay. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He meets a similar line-up this afternoon and can bring up the hat-trick.
GIMME MORE TIME finished 5.15 lengths behind the top choice last time. He is 3kgs better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result.
CHOLLIMA should have finished closer last time as he was held up for a run at the 400m mark. With a bit of luck in running, he can finish in the placings.
Race 3
BLIND AMBITION was unlucky not to have won her last start over this C&D as she was cramped for galloping room in the latter stages. She is having her peak run and will be cherry-ripe. She jumps from pole position and with luck in running, she may be the one to beat.
SHEETS AND GOGGLES stayed on when third over this C&D last time. She is having her peak run and should the top choice fluff her lines, she may be the one to pick up the pieces.
MEURSAULT finished 0.2 lengths behind the top choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and there should not be much separating them at the finish.
Race 4
MY ARCHANGEL showed good improvement when second over 1200m last time. He raced on the speed but found one too good in the form of Honor Of Kings. The gelding seems to have done the trick. He is a progressive type and with Richard Fourie back in the saddle, he should be the one to beat.
GURKHA finished 3.15 lengths behind the top selection last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms and he may battle to turn the form around.
SUPERHERO ran a fair race on debut over 1200m. He would have come on from the run and will love the rise to 1400m. With the natural improvement that is expected, he should be competitive.
Race 5
CALLMEGETRIX finished 0.3 lengths behind GIMMETHATPEARL last time. She is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She has won once and finished third once from as many starts over this C&D. She is having her peak run and may be rewarded for consistency.
GIMMETHATPEARL was given a perfect ride when winning her last start over 1400m. She should have no issues with the step up to 1600m and merits healthy respect.
FUN ZONE ran a fair race over 1100m last time. She has won once and finished second once from three starts over this trip. If finding the form of her penultimate run, she should feature.
Race 6
KING VISERYS stayed on when third over 1000m last time. He won his maiden under Richard Fourie. He jumps from a good draw of four and in this type of field, he should be the one to side with.
TSUNAMI WARNING is better than his post-maiden form. He has been gelded which may have been what he needed. It is encouraging that Craig Zackey steps back into the saddle and he is one of the leading contenders.
MOHANDAS is better than his last start over 2000m. His previous three efforts were fair. He drops in the distance and with luck in the early stages, he will be mowing down the frontrunners.
Race 7
COMMANDING showed good signs of a form return in his last start over this C&D. He set the pace, but found one too good in the form of Garrix. The son of William Longsword meets a similar line-up this afternoon and can go one better.
CARRIACOU finished 1 length behind the top choice last time. He is 0.5kgs better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish.
MAJOR MASTER was doing his best work late when fourth over 1600m last time. He won his maiden over this distance at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, in his penultimate run. Aldo Domeyer steps back into the saddle and from pole position, he should be competitive.
Race 8
TICKET TO VEGAS has finished second in her last two starts. She showed speed over this C&D last time, but found one too good in the form of Berry’s Boogie. She will strip a much fitter horse and can go one better with Gareth Wright retaining the ride.
PINK PIGEON tried hard when second over 1000m on this course last time. She will love the rise to 1200m and is one of the leading contenders.
CAPTAIN‘S DESTINY finished 1.65 lengths behind the top selection last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and she may have to settle for the same result.
Race 9
ELUSIVE WINTER showed good speed when winning his last start over 1000m on this course. The blinkers have done the trick. He received a six-pound penalty for that victory. Gareth Wright retains the ride and the combination may be hard to peg back.
ALL ABOUT AL finished 3.8 lengths behind the top choice last time. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result. He has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D.
BLUFF ON BLUFF ran a fair race over 1000m on this course last time. He won his penultimate start in this class. The 6yo gelding is in a good space and cannot be ignored
