Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Wednesday 15th April where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
MAGMA FLOW was not disgraced when 3.65 lengths behind Red Spice in the Grade 3 Ridgemont Cape Of Good Hope Nursery last time. His penultimate run when second over this C&D was encouraging. The booking of Keagan de Melo is a big plus and he may be the one to beat.
BANGKOK MAGIC is an unraced son of Willow Magic from the Justin Snaith stable with JP van der Merwe booked to ride. He is related to five-time winner Mai Sensation. 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 unraced entrants.
NADIA NERINA is a daughter of What A Winter from the Justin Snaith yard and Richard Fourie will do duty. If not too green in running, she should give a good account of herself.
Race 2
PEACH COBBLER showed improvement when third over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. The daughter of Buffalo Bill Cody should enjoy the extra furlong on offer. She is a progressive type and may have more to come.
VIRGINIA BLUEBELL has competed in features in both her efforts to date. She returns from an 11-week break, during which time she would have strengthened up. JP van der Merwe retains the ride and she should have good improvement to come.
OH ISABELLA is an unraced daughter of Rafeef from the Lucinda Woodruff stable with Chad Little booked to ride. She is related to five-time winner Joker Man. If not in need of the run, she should start her career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to her and the other unraced entrants.
Race 3
HERO’S JOURNEY produced a strong finish when 0.05 lengths behind FROM THE ISLAND last time. He is 3kgs better off at the weights today which is enough for the tables to be turned. The son of Heavenly Blue is a progressive type and can go one better.
FROM THE ISLAND lasted long enough when winning his last start over this distance at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. The son of Royal Mo is in a good space and can follow up.
VULCAN ROCK has not shown much promise to date. He returns from a 13-week break, during which time he was gelded. The son of Erupt steps up to 1400m and with Keagan de Melo retaining the ride, he may have improvement to come.
Race 4
THELEIA set the pace over this distance at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time before getting touched off by Little Nimbus. The daughter of Querari meets the right field and Keagan de Melo may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her where it matters most.
RARE EARTH finished 5.25 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.
PACIFIC WATERS has shown signs of needing her last two starts. She should be at peak fitness and gets the services of 4kgs claiming Apprentice Varun Jodhee. On best form shown, she would not be a shock winner.
Race 5
LE CONCIERGE ran a fair race over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. The son of Querari drops to 1200m which may be ideal. He is the stable elect with JP van der Merwe in the saddle. He has scope and can show good improvement.
PROTECTOR OF PEACE was reported to be fatigued last time. It must be noted that Bonelli has come out and won again since. The son of Royal Mo gets the blinkers fitted for the first time which should keep his mind on the task at hand.
HILTON HEADS has shown improvement in his last two starts after gelding. The booking of Richard Fourie is a big plus and he may have more to come. T
Race 6
CANDY TOWN produced an eye-catching comeback run over this distance at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. She showed good speed before getting outrun late by Sardinia Bay. The daughter of Querari will strip much fitter and she may be hard to peg back.
NORTH POINT tired late over 1100m in the Non-Black Type Easter Sprint last time. He finished 1.6 lengths behind the top choice in his penultimate run. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and he may have to settle for the same result.
ELUSIVE WINTER finished 0.4 lengths behind the top choice in the race referred to above. He is 4kgs worse off at the weights today and may battle to turn the form around.
Race 7
SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE showed guts when winning her maiden over 1200m. She raced on the speed and fought back well. The daughter of Rafeef would have come on from the outing and should strip much fitter. She does take on stronger, but has plenty of scope and should be up to the task at hand.
SOUTH OF FRANCE has finished second in both her post maiden efforts. It must be noted that the form of her last run has been franked. Should the top choice fluff her lines, she may be the one to pick up the pieces.
MONEY EXTRACTOR’S last two starts have been good. She set the pace over 1500m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time and stayed on to finish third. She is likely to get her own way in front and may be hard to peg back.
Race 8
FUTURE FREE challenged strongly over this distance at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time, but found one too good in the form of Boogiefied. The son of Futura would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. Andrew Fortune is booked to ride and from pole position, he can go one better.
MARCUS AURELIUS ran a good race when fourth over 1400m on this course last time. He raced from a handy position and stayed on at the finish. The son of Legislate gets the blinkers fitted which should keep his mind on the task at hand. He will strip much fitter and is one of the leading contenders.
SHOW OFF was running on too late when second over this distance at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. The son of Canford Cliffs has dropped to a competitive rating and if not too far out of his ground turning for home, he should be competitive.
Race 9
MASTERONTHEMOON showed good improvement when third over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. The manner in which he finished off his race that day suggests that he will love the rise to 2000m. He is drawn widest of all, but gets the services of Richard Fourie who will give him all the necessary assistance from the saddle.
PHANTOM MAN was his own worst enemy last time as he over raced in the early stages. He is a horse who likes to get his own way in front. If all goes according to plan, he may be hard to peg back.
FROM THE GET GO should have finished closer last time as he was steadied for running room at the 200m mark. The son of Gimmethegreenlight tries the 2000m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he may have more to come
