Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Sunday 2nd November where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
MRS SHACKLETON showed good improvement when second against winners over this distance at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. She is having her peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. She is back in Maiden Company and with the services of capable work rider William Bambiso, she can go one better.
LAYDELAY’S last start is best ignored as she was reported to be not striding out. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. If finding the form of her penultimate run, she should go close.
WHATASTAR finished 2.05 lengths behind MORFELIHA last time. She is 8.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. On best form shown, she should be competitive.
Race 2
PROTECTOR OF PEACE caught the eye when third on debut over 1250m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. He was green on the turn, but the manner in which he finished off his race was encouraging. The son of Royal Mo would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he may be the one to beat.
TOUCHED BY ANGELS ran on well when third on debut over this distance at Hollywoodbets Greyville. The son of Hawwaam gets the services of Richard Fourie which is a big plus. He would have come on from the outing and if settled into Cape Town, he should be competitive.
GALLIC KING finished 0.8 lengths behind the top choice on debut. He was green in running and stayed on at the finish. There should be good improvement to come from the son of Vercingetorix.
Race 3
VIXENS WAR had to overcome a wide draw when fourth over 1250m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. Her penultimate run when 1.15 lengths behind Reet Petite catches the eye. The daughter of Act Of War may be the one to beat.
IONA CASTLE produced a promising debut effort when fourth over 1250m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. She took time to find her feet, but stayed on at the finish. The daughter of Danon Platina would have gained from the experience and should make the natural progression.
SEVEN NO TRUMP showed improvement when third over this C&D last time. She returns from a 19-week break, during which time she would have strengthened up. The booking of Richard Fourie is a big plus and she may have more to come if fit.
Race 4
BOOZY SUSIE made the natural improvement when fourth over 1250m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. The daughter of Danon Platina had to overcome the widest draw that day and stayed on at the finish. She will love the rise to 1400m and from pole position, she should have more to come.
HAZEL GREEN has good recent form lines to her credit. She tried hard when second over 1250m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. JP van der Merwe is likely to use her early gate speed to overcome the wide draw and she may be hard to peg back.
NANNIE GOLD was running on when second over 1250m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. The daughter of Gold Standard should enjoy the rise to 1400m. With luck from her awkward draw of eight, she should be involved at the finish.
Race 5
Trainer Justin Snaith holds a strong hand in this contest and he can saddle the first two past the post. NATIVE RULER ran a cracker when sixth in the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Durban July last time. He should have finished closer to the winner that day as he had to be steadied and switched at the 300m mark. The son of Vercingetorix won his maiden over this distance. He makes his seasonal debut and if not in need of the run, he should go close.
OKAVANGO is better than his last start in the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Durban July. Two of his three career victories have come over this distance. On best form shown, he should fight out the finish.
CAPTAIN WEST ran a fair race in the Grade 3 Race Coast Matchem Stakes last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He may be the one to spoil the Snaith party.
Race 6
DEAN STREET has good recent form lines to his credit. He finished 0.5 lengths behind ARCTIC WIZARD last time. He is 4.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He has won once and finished second once from three starts over this C&D. S’manga Khumalo is booked to ride and the combination may be hard to peg back.
LION RAMPART was an easy winner of his last start over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He returns to the Vaughan Marshall stable and merits healthy respect.
THE US OF A has top consistent form lines to his name. He carries a handy galloping mass of 53.5kgs and Richard Fourie is booked to ride which is a big plus. The son of The United States merits healthy respect.
Race 7
GOOD FOR YOU produced a good seasonal debut when second over 1250m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. He set the pace, but found one too good in the form of All The Rage. The son of Legislate should have no issues with the rise to 1400m. Chad Little is likely to use his early gate speed to overcome the widest draw and the combination may be hard to peg back.
ARISTOCRATIC showed some signs of needing his last start in the Grade 3 Race Coast Matchem Stakes. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He will strip much fitter and is one of the leading contenders.
ABSOLUTELY YES finished 0.2 lengths behind the second choice last time. He is 2kgs worse off at the weights today and may have to settle for the same result.
Race 8
GREEN GATEWAY followed up his debut victory with a decent fifth-place finish over 1250m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. He lost a length leaving the start, but stayed on at the finish. The son of Gimmethegreenlight will strip much fitter and with Craig Zackey in the saddle, he may be the one to side with.
STAR MAJOR was running on when fourth in his post maiden effort over 1250m. Luyolo Mxothwa steps back into the saddle and he should go close to winning.
FREEDOM FIGHTER made the expected natural improvement when winning his maiden over 1250m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. The son of Vercingetorix takes on stronger, but he looks to be above average and may be up to the task at hand.
Race 9
CASSANDRA moved up well over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time before getting outrun late by De Vlugge. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. The daughter of Act Of War tries the 1800m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, she can go one better.
WAIT FOR ME stayed on when fifth over 1500m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. With luck in running, she should pose a threat.
UP IN FLAMES stayed on when second over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. The daughter of Futura will love the rise to 1800m and from pole position, she can feature
