Race Summary: MASTER BOMBER comes back to the races from a small break of 81 days, he has run some very good races at Hollywoodbets Durbanville around the turn, he will love racing up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth and must have a good winning chance here. CLIFF SWALLOW is as honest as they come, he tries hard and should be right there again in the finish, include him into all bet types. SECRET PASSAGE was well beaten behind his stable companion last time, he will be a better horse over further in time, he could sneak into the places with some luck in running. ALESSIA ASHEVILLE ran a decent race on the 22nd of December behind Warbird, she now drops back in trip, watch her closely at a decent price.
Selections: #12 MASTER BOMBER, #1 CLIFF SWALLOW, #3 SECRET PASSAGE, #4 ALESSIA ASHEVILLE
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 15.01.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R125,000, 12:50GMT+2
Race Summary: VICTOR HUGO ran a cracker last time in a very competitive race, he moved up extremely well and then stayed on to the line in the last 150m, the drop in trip to 1400m is ideal and he will be a tough horse to beat here. BEL CANTO DREAM ran a fair race behind Heal And Soul on the 22nd of December, he should enjoy the step up in trip, there is no doubt he will be a big threat for Victor Hugo in the finish, include him. SMART HORSE will improve lengths from his debut performance, he was unfortunately drawn poorly and never really managed to get into the race, watch for big improvement now that he gets a decent draw. GRAND ALLEGRO has been rested for 81 days, on his best form, he could earn some money for the connections.
Selections: #8 VICTOR HUGO, #7 BEL CANTO DREAM, #3 SMART HORSE, #6 GRAND ALLEGRO
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 15.01.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R110,000, 13:25GMT+2
Race Summary: BLIND AMBITION ran a super race behind her stable companion last time, she stayed on strongly late, from a good draw here and stepping up in trip to 1600m, she will be a massive runner. BRIGHT GOLD improved nicely when stepping up in trip in her last start behind Warbird, she enjoys racing handy, if the race works out for her, she will be competitive again. SUPREME FATE was only beaten just under one length in her last start behind Tap Shoes, she is improving with every start and should enjoy the step up in trip, there is no doubt she will have a serious winning chance on Wednesday afternoon. ENGLISH MISTRESS returns from a small break of 71 days, she is ultra consistent and will be low flying late, include her.
Selections: #2 BLIND AMBITION, #6 BRIGHT GOLD, #7 SUPREME FATE, #13 ENGLISH MISTRESS
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 15.01.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R125,000, 14:00GMT+2
Race Summary: TENPENNY ran a great race behind Green Garnet on the 14th of December when finishing nicely for second, he looks very progressive and should love the step up in trip to 1600m, from a good draw, he will be a serious runner. GRAN CANARIA stayed on powerfully to the line in his last start behind Native Ruler, he was drawn poorly on that occasion and still managed to run a cracker, now that he gets a good draw of one, he should go very close. UMFULA has run two fair races down the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he is crying for this step up in trip, with some luck in running from a poor draw, he will be closing them down late. AFRIQUE has moved stables, on his best form, he could sneak into the Quartets.
Selections: #3 TENPENNY, #1 GRAN CANARIA, #11 UMFULA, #8 AFRIQUE
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 15.01.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R100,000, 14:35GMT+2
Race Summary: ISCHYRO moved up to run a great second in his last start behind Dream Searcher, he is not the biggest of horses, but he has a huge heart, he tries extremely hard and should be there in the finish again. OZARK carries a big weight in this Class 5 event and has unfortunately drawn poorly as well, life won’t be easy for him, but he will be running on strongly, watch him late. NOON DAY GUN is far better than his most recent start where he was well beaten in a Class 4 event, the drop in trip and the drop-in class here will help his chances, he could be some value. WHAT A FORTUNE quickened up well to exit the maiden ranks in his last start, he really enjoys the 1400m trip and should remain competitive despite the big weight.
Selections: #6 ISCHYRO, #9 OZARK, #3 NOON DAY GUN, #4 WHAT A FORTUNE
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 15.01.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R80,000, 15:15GMT+2
Race Summary: DECEMBER DAWN powered away from her field to win a good race last time, she has won two very good races in succession now, even though she has gone up in the ratings and the weights, she will be running at them strongly and must be included into all bets. WHY NOT JACKIE was given 3 points for her latest victory on the 4th of December, she is a tricky mare to ride, if the race works out for her and she gets some cover early, she could certainly win again. NILE THE BOSS ran a fair race over 1400m on the 11th of December, she drops back in trip to 1200m on Wednesday afternoon, off this rating, she should be a big danger to them all. ROYAL LYTHAM never runs a bad race, she is very consistent and should be able to earn some money again.
Selections: #12 DECEMBER DAWN, #6 WHY NOT JACKIE, #4 NILE THE BOSS, #7 ROYAL LYTHAM
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 15.01.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R125,000, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: BACK AT THE GEORGE ran on strongly for second in her most recent start behind Babelicious, she looks to be getting better and better with every start, watch her closely, she will be right there in the finish again. ALL IS GREEN is much better suited to this trip of 1200m, ignore her last start over 1400m, the yard thinks highly of this filly, and she should be able to bounce back to her best form at a decent price. SOHOT SOWHAT quickened up in devastating fashion to win really well on the 22nd of December, she looks extremely progressive and must have a good winning chance again. FIRST MASTERPIECE stayed on well to run second in her last start behind Kyalami Girl, that was a strong field, with a similar performance on Wednesday, she could upset them all.
Selections: #6 BACK AT THE GEORGE, #3 ALL IS GREEN, #8 SOHOT SOWHAT, #9 FIRST MASTERPIECE
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 15.01.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R125,000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: BARNEY MCGREW at the ripe old age of 7 continues to run great races, he ran a lovely race behind Kelp Forest on the 11th of December, off this rating in a similar field again, he will go very close to winning, include him into the play. CASINO ACE pretty much lead them from start to finish to win a super race last time up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, this is a big jump in class for him, but he should come out running and will be a tough horse to fetch late. FURIOUS QUEEN finished like a train behind Love Shack on the 22nd of December, she has a good turn of foot, and she gets the services of champion jockey Richard Fourie, include her into all bets. RATTLESNAKE is quite a speedy sort, on his best form, he could sneak into the places.
Selections: #1 BARNEY MCGREW, #4 CASINO ACE, #6 FURIOUS QUEEN, #10 RATTLESNAKE
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 15.01.2025, Race 9, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R90,000, 17:00GMT+2
Race Summary: ELECTRIC FEELS is as gutsy and honest as they come, she needs a particular ride, you must sit and wait as long as possible before producing her late, if she gets something to pull her through, she will be very hard to beat. TAMBOURINE MAN ran a fair race with the blinkers on last time behind True Horizon, that wasn’t the strongest of races, but he is consistent and should be able to earn again. KING VISERYS drops back in trip now to 1000m, he will probably be beaten for speed early and then run on strongly late, watch him closely. XPLICIT CONTENT should be at home over this trip of 1000m, he is very fast and could do enough for the Quartets.
Selections: #3 ELECTRIC FEELS, #7 TAMBOURINE MAN, #5 KING VISERYS, #6 XPLICIT CONTENT
Best Win: #8 VICTOR HUGO
Best Value Bet: #12 MASTER BOMBER
Best Longshot: #3 ELECTRIC FEELS
