Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday 7th November where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
WORKINGCLASSHERO has produced two fair efforts to date. It must be noted that the form of his last outing has been franked. The son of Elusive Fort returns from a nine-week break/suspension. He is a horse with plenty of scope and with the services of capable work rider Luke Coleman, he can shed his maiden tag.
LET‘S CELEBRATE finished 1.5 lengths behind SHESHELEZA last time. He is 4kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough to turn the form around. He will strip much fitter and may be the one to fill the exacta spot.
SHESHELEZA showed improvement when fourth over this distance at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. He will strip a much fitter horse and should have a say.
Race 2
This is a competitive Maiden Plate for the girls and caution is advised. The tentative first choice is ROCK THE ROAD from the Piet and Elbert Steyn yard. She challenged strongly over this distance at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time, but found one too good in the form of First Bloom. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. Aldo Domeyer may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her where it matters most.
DESERT ICE was touched off in her last start over 1250m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. Keagan de Melo is likely to use her early gate speed to overcome the wide draw and she may be hard to peg back.
WILD WEATHER finished 0.5 lengths behind the second choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms and there should not be much separating them at the finish.
Race 3
LARK‘S SONG has good consistent form to her name. She stayed on when second over this distance at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. She is having her peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. The daughter of Querari will be mowing down the frontrunners.
FUTURE ENGAGEMENT ran on well to win on debut over 1250m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. She does take on stronger, but carries a light mass of 50.5kgs. The daughter of Futura could be anything and can remain unbeaten.
AMAYAH is better than her last start as the jockey reported something to be amiss in running. Her penultimate run when second, catches the eye. She should get a good run in transit from pole position and cannot be discounted.
Race 4
Trainer Justin Snaith holds a strong hand in this contest and can saddle the first three past the post. LEGAL COUNSEL was outrun late when second in the Grade 3 Matchem Stakes last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He has won twice and finished second once from five starts over this distance. The son of Legislate will strip much fitter and can go one better.
NOTE TO SELF was given a perfect ride when winning the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Durban July last time. He returns from a well-deserved 18-week break and makes his seasonal debut. He will be at his best over further, but is loaded with class and merits healthy respect.
SEE IT AGAIN finished second in the Grade 1 HKJC Champions Cup last time. He returns from a 15-week break and this outing will bring him on nicely for future feature events.
Race 5
MIAMI SUMMER was given a peach of a ride when winning the Listed Settlers Trophy last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The son of The United States should have no issues with the rise to 2400m and can win again.
FUTURE FREE was given a well- deserved 24-week break after winning the Listed Pocket Power Stakes last time. The son of Futura steps up to 2400m with Richard Fourie aboard. If fit, he can complete the exacta.
AHEAD OF THE FACTS had too much work to do in the closing stages of the Grade 3 World Pool Gold Cup last time. He returns from a 15-week break and this outing will bring him on nicely for future staying races. The son of Futura has class and merits obvious consideration.
Race 6
QUERARI DANCER is better than her last start in the Grade 2 Allan Robertson Championship. She returns from a 24-week break and would have strengthened up during her time off the track. The daughter of Querari has class about her and with just 52kgs on her back, she may be the one to side with.
BABELICIOUS found one too good in the form of Double Grand Slam in the Grade 3 Diana Stakes last time. She has won once and finished second once from three starts over this C&D. She will strip much fitter and is one of the leading contenders.
LOWVELD LILY is better than her last two starts in Gauteng. Her effort when third in the Grade 2 Cartier Sceptre Stakes, three runs ago catches the eye. She is the mount of Richard Fourie and if fit, she should not be a surprise winner.
Race 7
PALACE OF ARVERNIA returns from a 15-week break after a successful KZN Champions Season. She was given a well-timed ride when winning the Grade 2 World Pool With Race Coast Debutante last time. She won the Grade 2 Amusnet Golden Slipper over this distance in her penultimate outing. If not in need of the run, she can notch up the hat-trick.
OVER MY SHOULDER followed up her debut win with an equally impressive victory over this distance at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. The well-related daughter of Vercingetorix looks to have class about her and can remain unbeaten.
VERSE FOR SUZANNE showed a good turn of foot when winning her last start over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. The daughter of Vercingetorix is a progressive type and merits obvious consideration.
RACE 8
WREATH OF SNOW made the expected natural improvement when winning his last start over this distance at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. He set the pace, found another kick and drew clear of the opposition. 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 he has plenty of scope and can follow up.
LET IT ROLL returns from a 10-week break, during which time he was gelded. It must be noted that multiple horses from his last form line have come out and won since. He is likely to race on the pace and if fit, he may be hard to peg back.
BEHAVE HARRIS has not finished too far off the winner in recent efforts. He tries the 1400m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he can earn another cheque.
RACE 9
IRELAND FOREVER won a good race over 1250m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. He received a five-pound penalty for that victory. The son of Rafeef has always shown that he has ability and with Mickaelle Michel taking the 1.5kgs off his back, he can follow up.
GOLDEN DESTINY finished 1.9 lengths behind the top selection last time. He is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result.
CHURCHILLIAN finished 1.5 lengths behind the top choice in the race referred to above. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and he may have to settle for the same result. The son of Rafeef will strip much fitter.
RACE 10
TRAILFINDER finished 1.75 lengths behind PALACE GIFT last time. He is 6.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough to turn the form around. The son of Querari has ability and if fit, he may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
OCTOBER STORM was outrun late when fourth over this trip at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. Should the top choice fluff his lines, he may be the one to pick up the pieces.
SECRET TACTIC won an impressive race when returning from a 36-week break last time. The son of Vercingetorix takes on stronger, but he has plenty of scope and should be up to the task at hand.
