Race Summary: MILITARY COMMAND quickened up like a smart sort in the making when winning his maiden by just over two lengths on the 26th of February, he will love the step up in trip to 1200m, he should go very close in this competitive race. DREAMWORLD won his debut exceptionally well on the 15th of February at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he arrived at the course with a massive reputation and delivered in good style, there is no doubt he will be right there in the finish. BLACK CHEETAH comes back to the races from a small break of 71 days, he has won two very good races in succession, the yard thinks highly of this individual, he must go into all bets.

Race Summary: RATTLESNAKE unfortunately lost his race in the boardroom last time, his recent form is really good, he loves the 1000m trip up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he must have a good winning chance here. NIGHT TIGER ran a fair race on the 15th of February behind Empire State, on his best form at this level, he could certainly be very dangerous in the finish. TOUGH TERRAIN carries a massive weight on his back for this race on Sunday, he ran a lovely race last time behind Bluff On Bluff, if the race works out for him and he gets some cover early, he will be flying at the finish, watch him closely. GO IT ALONE ran a much-improved race on the 8th of February behind Un Bel Di, unfortunately he was penalised three points for running third, despite the negative, if he can build on that last performance, he could be some value in this tricky race.

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 16.03.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R140,000, 13:50GMT+2

Race Summary: FIRST MASTERPIECE quickened up smartly to win going away in her last start on the 26th of February, her last two wins in succession have been impressive, she absolutely loves the sprint trips up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, even though she has gone up in the ratings, she must have a good winning chance again. MAI SENSATION disappointed last time in the Listed Olympic Duel Stakes, she is much better than that performance, if she can build on that bad run, she could easily bounce back and be competitive here at a good price. BABELICIOUS ran a lovely race behind her stable companion on the 11th of February, her form is good with the blinkers on, she must be respected. BLUE HOLLY has done nothing wrong of late, she has been nice and consistent, she likes to race up on speed, include her into all bets.

Race Summary: TENANGO ran on powerfully to win a super race on the 8th of February, he looks to be a smart sprinter in the making, this race is undoubtedly his toughest test to date, but he looks talented and should go very close to winning again. LION RAMPART has been rested and gelded, he was very disappointing in the Winchester Sprint Cup last time, but a nice horse with lots of quality, if he doesn’t need the run badly, he will be right there in the finish. FUTURE VARIETY had absolutely no luck in his last start, he has run with lots of credit against some of the best sprinters in the land, this looks to be a nice race for him to go close. UN BEL DI won well on the 8th of February, his form is good, he is still improving and can sneak into the places with no weight on his back.

Selections: #2 TENANGO, #6 LION RAMPART, #3 FUTURE VARIETY, #4 UN BEL DI

UMFULA won his maiden well enough on the 26th of February, he looks like the type that will improve with every start, he should be staying on strongly late over this trip, include him into all bets. ALADDIN’S LAMP ran a fair race behind My Bestie last time, he likes to race up on speed and then he grinds hard all the way to the line, on his best form, he could sneak into the places. REPETITION ran a great race out of the maidens in his last start, he is still improving and he stays well, he could earn for the connections from a good draw.

Selections: #4 AHEAD OF THE FACTS, #3 UMFULA, #7 ALADDIN’S LAMP, #2 REPETITION

Race Summary: TRIPLE TIME stayed on well late in the Grade 3 event on the 25th of January, even though he carries top weight for this Listed race, he is a quality stayer and should go very close to winning with champion jockey Richard Fourie in the saddle. HOLDING THUMBS never runs a bad race, he is as consistent as they come, jockey Sean Veale knows him well, there is no doubt he will have a serious winning chance on his best form. NEBRAAS returned to form nicely on the 15th of February, even though he is eight years old, he stays well and should run a big race from a good draw. BOMBERS IN THE SKY carries no weight on his back on Sunday afternoon, even though he will need to improve quite a bit to win a race like this, he is nowhere near the finished article, he could sneak into the places.

Selections: #4 TRIPLE TIME, #5 HOLDING THUMBS, #1 NEBRAAS, #3 BOMBERS IN THE SKY

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 16.03.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R5,000,000, 16:15GMT+2

Race Summary: ONE STRIPE comes back to the races from a small break of 71 days, his last win in the Grade 1 King’s Plate was nothing short of breath taking, he is a real super star and should win this race quite easily. THE GREY KING ran a lovely race on the 25th of January behind his stable companion Let It Be Said, the form of that race has worked out well, Jockey Craig Zackey knows him well, he will be chasing hard. ALL OUT FOR SIX ran a fair race in a strong field last time, he is a strong front runner on his day, there is no doubt he will be in it for a long way, include him into the places. GREAT PLAINS has been rested for 71 days, he is much better than his last run, he should be stalking the speed and running on strongly late.

Selections: #2 ONE STRIPE, #3 THE GREY KING, #8 ALL OUT FOR SIX, #7 GREAT PLAINS

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 16.03.2025, Race 9, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R175,000, 16:50GMT+2

Race Summary: MEU CAPITANO made up good ground late behind The Real Prince on the 22nd of February, unfortunately he has drawn wide again on Sunday for this race, but he will be switched off early and should be low flying late, with the right run in transit, he will be hard to beat. GALLIC DREAM was given a great ride by Gavin Lerena on the 22nd of February, he quickened well and won impressively, with no weight on his back here, he will be a massive threat to all of them in the finish. PROMETTERE barged his way through to win exceptionally well on the 18th of January, he was given seven points for that victory which means life will be tough for him now, but if he runs a similar race again on Sunday, he should be competitive. BILLY BOWLEGS should be cherry ripe for this race, from a good draw, he must be respected.

Selections: #9 MEU CAPITANO, #7 GALLIC DREAM, #6 PROMETTERE, #2 BILLY BOWLEGS

BOOGIEFIED ran a great second behind Please Be True on the 11th of February, with a similar performance in this race, he would have a massive winning chance.
