Kenilworth, 19.11.2024, Race 1, Gallops, 1100m, Turf, R110.000, 12:15GMT+2
Race Summary: PHIL THE FLUTER ran a much-improved race after a rest and gelding. He has secured the inside stall this time and could go on to open his account. But he can be difficult. RAFA BOY could take advantage. He has gone close and after needing his last start could be hard to catch. CASA ESTIVA has scope for good improvement after a fair debut. She is well bred and should enjoy the course and distance. SPIRIT GUIDE sharpened up after a rest and could suddenly show her best form. She has accomplished work rider William Bambiso in the irons. MANEKI NEKO must be respected.
Selections:
#1 Phil The Fluter, #11 Rafa Bay, #8 Casa Estiva, #3 Spirit Guide
Kenilworth, 19.11.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R85.000, 12:50GMT+2
Race Summary: LOVERS LANE and ELECTRIC FEELS fought it out last time with the latter just prevailing. Now that she’s finally got her head in front she could bag another, especially as she has drawn well. But LOVERS LANE has drawn on her inside and may not let her get her way this time. Watch out for lightly raced and well-bred maiden SEEKING THE LIFE. He was gelded recently and could show more with time. CASINO ACE wasn’t beaten far last time and has turned in decent efforts at this venue. She should be right there. COUNTRY TIME could be the dark horse at best.
Selections:
#1 Lovers Lane, #2 Electric Feels, #9 Seeking The Life, #8 Casino Ace
Kenilworth, 19.11.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R110.000, 13:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Justin Snaith has a strong hand with his pair. ARDABIL caught the eye last time and should improve over the course and distance. COURTLY has run two good races in a row but could appreciate the drop in distance and get the job done. DUBBELOSIX has been improving with each start and could appreciate the switch to Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. CONGRESSMAN got caught late last time and should turn in another solid effort if overcoming his wide stall. WESTERN WORLD met a decent sort in his penultimate and must be respected along with HENRY’S HEDGE, WOOD WORLD and AMANCIO.
Selections:
#6 Ardabil, #3 Dubbelosix, #15 Congressman, #7 Courtly
Kenilworth, 19.11.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R110.000, 14:00GMT+2
Race Summary: HUNGA TONGA is bred for more ground and could show a lot more. She has drawn well. LOTUS ISLAND disappointed a bit last time but is worth another chance. LAVENDER BAY is holding form well and can step up on her last run if getting to the front in time. But EXQUISITE is coming along too and has shown the pace to dictate matters as well. If not in need of the run she should be right there. DIAMOND BOMBER and WHITE WATERS both have the form to be very competitive. MEURSAULT and SWEETSUMMERLOVE have room for good improvement. The latter has drawn quite wide.
Selections:
#12 Diamond Bomber, #11 White Waters, #1 Hunga Tonga, #9 Lavender Bay
Kenilworth, 19.11.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R120.000, 14:35GMT+2
Race Summary: KAMCHATKA found more to beat her elders and made it two on the bounce last time. But it could get a lot tougher with a hike in ratings and she is now switching to Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. ENCHANTING CHOICE looked a bit unlucky not to get to KAMCHATKA but could turn the form around even if having drawn wide. JET TO THE SUN, HAMPSTEAD HEATH and TOKYO PRINCESS suffered varying degrees of interference in that race and any of these could get better luck this time. PENTOLINA drops in trip and may be a threat now. OMIKAMI could be a better horse this trip.
Selections:
#2 Hampstead Heath, #4 Kamchatka, #10 Enchanting Choice, #1 Pentolina
Kenilworth, 19.11.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R85.000, 15:15GMT+2
Race Summary: WHAT A FORTUNE is holding form and probably just needs to get the timing right. UNSOLVED RIDDLE won a nice race last time but could have his work cut out against BLAME IT ON ME who is still learning. MELA STRENGTH made progress last time and is back to his best distance. NAUSHON should enjoy a fast pace and if not too far out of his ground he could suddenly come rushing at the right time. AMERICAN MATADOR wasn’t far off in his penultimate and had things go wrong last time. He needs to be included. GOOD SHINE is another that could upset, if enjoying the extra.
Selections:
#5 What A Fortune, #3 Unsolved Riddle, #2 Blame It On Me, #6 Mela Strength
Kenilworth, 19.11.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R85.000, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: TRES CHIC is enjoying the 1400m. She can follow up on her win at Durbanville even if having drawn a bit wide. DOUBLE DASH has decent maiden form and should prefer the drop in distance but she too has a wide berth to overcome. ALESSIA ASHEVILLE caught the eye in her last start and on pedigree should be even better over this distance. SENHORA VICTORIA’s next win is overdue. She should have every chance jumping from gate No 1. WEHAVEASITUATION produced a good finish again and could be the dark horse. More can improve to feature.
Selections:
#9 Tres Chic, #10 Double Dash, #8 Alessia Asheville, #1 Senhora Victoria
Kenilworth, 19.11.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R120.000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Big field assembled for this Class 4 run over 1400m and it is quite competitive. Well-bred AIR RAID should have more to come given time. He can improve over the extra. RULE OF THUMB did well even though things went wrong for him in the last race. He could get in the fight with a bit of luck. TERMINATOR wasn’t disgraced in his first post-maiden outing. But a wide draw could make it tough. MARVEL WILLIAM wasn’t far behind but has drawn even wider out. DAS GUTE and INDUSTRIALSTRENGTH have drawn well and could take advantage. WINTER PEARL, KELP FOREST and DAWN TILL DUSK warrant respect.
Selections:
#6 Air Raid, #10 Rule Of Thumb, #12 Terminator, #8 Kelp Forest
Kenilworth, 19.11.2024, Race 9, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R120.000, 17:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Watch out for ICONIC DESTINATION who ran with some of the best around earlier in his career. He has been off for a while and may just need it. Speedy RATTESNAKE also returns after a break during which he was gelded. He should be right up there over the 1000m. Stablemate COUNTER ATTACK is one from one over the distance but is also racing after a rest. ALL ABOUT AL who was touched off in his last start should have every chance again. He has drawn toward the outside of the track. SHIFTING PATH and BARNEY MCGREW are capable of good runs in this company as well. Tough race.
Selections:
#7 Rattlesnake, #2 Shifting Path, #11 All About Al, #8 Barney Mcgrew
Best Win: #1 PHIL THE FLUTER
Best Value Bet: #6 AIR RAID
Best Longshot: #6 AIR RAID
