Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Sunday 21st December where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
MARSEILLES produced a promising debut effort over 800m in the Non-Black Type Futurity Plate. He raced from a prominent position but found one too good in the form of Querari Dancer. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. The son of What A Winter would have gained from the experience and will love the extra 200m on offer. With the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the one to beat.
RICH MAN‘S WORLD is an unraced son of One World from the Vaughan Marshall stable with Richard Fourie in the saddle. He is related to four-time winner Just Reckless. If not in need of the run, he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to him and the other first timers.
SOUNDSOFSYMPHONIES finished 2.9 lengths behind the top choice on debut. The pair meet on the same weight terms and he may have to settle for the same result.
Race 2
VOLEGOV has shown good improvement in each of his races to date. He showed speed over this C&D last time and stayed on to finish third. The son of Querari is coming along the right way and can shed his maiden tag.
I AM SAM should have finished closer to the winner on debut. The son of The United States would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be competitive.
BEHAVE HARRIS was touched off in his last start over this C&D. If confirming his recent improvement, he should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
Race 3
BABELICIOUS should have finished closer to the winner in the Listed Laisserfaire Stakes last time as she was held up for a run between the 400m mark and 300m mark. The daughter of Var is having her peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. She tries the 1500m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, she may be the one to beat.
LOCK AND KEY showed some signs of a form return over 1400m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She is having her peak run and cannot be discounted.
UKUDUMA was her own worst enemy last time as she over raced in the early stages. The daughter of Vercingetorix has ability and Richard Fourie retains the ride. She won her penultimate outing over this distance and if switching off early, she should be involved at the finish.
Race 4
HANDSOME PRINCE‘S last two starts have been good. He raced from a handy position over this C&D last time and stayed on to finish third. Gareth Wright knows him well and the combination may find themselves in the winner’s enclosure.
COUNT OF ROUEN is better than his recent form suggests. He over raced in the early stages of the Grade 2 Race Coast Cape Punters Cup last time and understandably did not go on with the effort. If Gavin Lerena is able to switch him off early, he can return to best form.
HAT‘S PRIDE won the Non-Black Type Founders Trophy over 1600m on the Fairview polytrack, easier than the official margin suggests. He is in a good space and merits healthy respect.
Race 5
FUTURE FREE showed some signs of needing his last start over this C&D. It must be noted that Regulation has come out and won again since. The son of Futura drops back in class and will strip much fitter. He should get a good run in transit from barrier two and can return to winning ways.
COCO‘S HERO is a winner of his last three starts, the latest of which was over 1950m. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. Despite his big mass of 62.5kgs, he merits healthy respect.
ARBITRATION finished 0.3 lengths behind the second choice last time. He is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today. Rene Piechulek rides and he cannot be discounted.
Race 6
ALL THE RAGE is the best bet on the programme. He finished third over this C&D in the Listed Sophomore Sprint last time. The son of Rafeef clearly has class about him and he is having his peak run. Aldo Domeyer knows him well and he can notch up his fourth-career victory.
THREE TIGERS stayed on after a slow start in the Listed Sophomore Sprint last time. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. The son of One World may be the one to fill the exacta spot.
COGNAC stayed on at the finish over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Greyville last time. The son of Rafeef won his first two career outings over this distance. He is a horse with ability and if settled into Cape Town, he should run a big race.
Race 7
DU MAURIER showed good speed over this C&D last time before getting outrun late. The daughter of Captain Of All is the best-weighted runner in this contest and she should be hard to peg back.
LOVERS LANE stayed on at the finish over this C&D last time, but found one too good in the form of Fort Red. Apprentice Nichola Yuen retains the ride, and he should produce another honest effort.
OZARK finished 1.15 lengths behind GRAVITY last time. He is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish. Richard Fourie is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
Race 8
TANNERON ran a cracker when second in the Listed Laisserfaire Stakes last time. She finished 0.3 lengths behind DISTING that day. She is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She is having her peak run and with Aldo Domeyer back in the saddle, she can go one better.
DISTING finished strongly after getting squeezed at the start in the Grade 3 WSB Southern Cross Stakes last time. She finished second in her only attempt over this C&D. The daughter of Global View will be mowing down the frontrunners at the finish.
ARTISTE is better than her last start in the Grade 3 WSB Southern Cross Stakes. She continues to drop in the ratings and on best form shown, she would not be a shock winner.
Race 9
SHESGOTCLASS has not finished too far off the winner in recent outings. She found one too good in the form of Call Me Secret over this C&D last time. Despite her big mass of 62.5kgs, she can go one better.
AMERICAN ULTRA finished 1.8 lengths behind the top choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and she may have to settle for the same result. The daughter of The United States will strip much fitter.
GOT THE LOOK won a good race when shedding her maiden tag over this C&D. The daughter of What A Winter would have gained in confidence and it would be no surprise to see her follow up with another victory
