Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Sunday 4th January where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
PROTECTOR OF PEACE cost himself winning last time as he hung in the final 200m. He drops back to 1200m which may be his preferred distance. He meets the right field and if keeping on a straight line, he can shed his maiden tag.
WAVE OF GLORY lacked extra late when fourth over this C&D last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He is having his peak run and may be the one to fill the exacta spot. THESHOWMUSTGOON has fair form lines to his name. He is a progressive type who is having his peak run. Richard Fourie is booked to ride, and he can finish in the placings.
Race 2
WHIRLWIND made the expected natural improvement when shedding her maiden tag over this C&D last time. She was slow into stride, but finished strongly and won a good race. She takes on stronger, but has plenty of scope and should be up to the task at hand.
CARIBBEAN GOLD stayed on when fifth over this C&D last time. She drops back in class and should the top choice fluff her lines, she may be the one to pick up the pieces.
PUSHING LIMITS was given a peach of a ride when winning her last start over this C&D. She meets a similar line-up this afternoon and merits healthy respect.
Race 3
SUGAR DADDY has produced two good runs to date. He stayed on at the finish over 1200m last time, but found one too good in the form of Give It Laldy. The son of Vercingetorix will love the rise to 1600m and from his handy draw of five, he can shed his maiden tag.
MERCENARY should have finished closer last time as he was held up for a run at the 300m mark. He has cracked a good draw of two and with luck in running, he should throw out a big challenge to the top choice.
BLIZZARDBOY showed good improvement with the blinkers fitted last time. The manner in which he finishes off his races suggests that he will love the rise to 1600m. He would not be a shock winner.
Race 4
ERIC LIDDELL was running on too late when second over this C&D last time. The blinkers have done the trick on the son of Futura. Richard Fourie is booked to ride, and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
PHANTOM MAN set the pace over this C&D last time before getting outrun late. Andrew Fortune is likely to adopt the same tactics and he may be hard to peg back.
FREQUENT TRAVELLER showed good improvement with the blinkers fitted over 1600m last time. The manner in which he finished off his race that day suggests that he will enjoy the rise to 2000m. If confirming his recent improvement, he can go close.
Race 5
GENTLEMAN JOE cost himself winning last time as he hung inwards in the closing stages. The 7yo gelding has no stamina issues and with Richard Fourie in the saddle, he can go one better.
BEAUTIFUL SIDE finished 0.4 lengths behind TOTHEMOONANDBACK last time. He is 1.5kgs better off at the weights and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish.
TOTHEMOONANDBACK stayed on at the finish when second over 2200m on this course last time. He is drawn widest of all, but gets the services of Andrew Fortune who will give him all the necessary assistance from the saddle.
Race 6
BEL CANTO DREAM took on much stronger over 1500m last time. The son of Oratorio is having his peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. He drops in class and from pole position, he can notch up his second-career victory.
FOUDRE won a good race when shedding his maiden tag over 1200m last time. The son of Fire Away is bred to love the rise to 1600m. He will strip much fitter and may be up to the task at hand.
GIVE IT LALDY made the expected natural improvement when winning his maiden over 1200m last time. He finished 1.25 lengths behind the second choice on debut. The son of One World will love the rise to the mile and from his good draw of three, he should be competitive.
Race 7
GIMMIE RULES stayed on at the finish when fourth in the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas last time. He was reported to be coughing that day. The son of Gimmethegreenlight is the best-weighted runner in this contest. He has class about him and should take a power of beating.
GEM KING is better than his last start in the Grade 2 SplashOut Cape Merchants. His penultimate run when third in the Non-Black Type The Bantry Bay Stakes catches the eye. If putting his best foot forward, he may be the one to fill the exacta spot.
KINDA WONDERFUL stayed on when third in the Non-Black Type Summer Bowl last time. She won her only attempt over this C&D. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight should give the males a run for their money.
Race 8
KATTEKWAADKWADRAAD was unlucky not to have won her post maiden effort as she was held up for a run between the 350m mark and 200m mark. The daughter of One World has plenty of scope and with luck in running, she may be the one to beat. JOU LEKKER DING finished 0.4 lengths behind SUPREME FATE last time. She is 0.5kgs better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish.
SUPREME FATE was given a well-timed ride when winning her last start over this C&D. She meets a similar line-up this afternoon and merits healthy respect.
Race 9
MORFELIHA followed up her maiden victory with a good second-place finish over 1000m on this course. She raced from a prominent position and tried hard all the way to the line. The booking of Richard Fourie is a big plus and she may be the one to side with.
FLYING SOUTH ran a good race when third in her post maiden effort over 1400m. She finished second in her only attempt over this distance. Should the top choice fluff her lines, she may be the one to pick up the pieces.
EASY LIVING finished 1.6 lengths behind the top choice last time. She is 1kg better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish
