Hollywoodbets Kenilworth Saturday Formguides And Selections
Race 1
Great race. Almost a full field of well-bred first timers that will line up at the 1000m mark, my only advice would be to watch the market closely and watch them move down to the gates before making your final selections. 6 CHAMPAGNE CASTLE ran a great race on debut behind her stable companion (Querari Dancer) on the 22nd of November, she was a touch slow out the gates, and she really stayed on strongly to finish just under two lengths behind the winner, she will improve tremendously from that run, watch her closely, now that she has some experience, she could be hard to beat here. 7 FYFIELD LEGEND ran a cracker on debut in the same race as Champagne Castle last time, he showed great speed early and stayed on well to finish just under three lengths behind the winner on that occasion, he will love the extra 200m on Saturday, include him into all bets. (Brandon Bailey: 6 – 7 – 4 – 3)
Race 2
4 GALLIC KING ran a terrific race for third behind Foudre on the 19th of November at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he is a lovely looking colt with a great action, he is getting better and better with more racing, this looks to be the right race for him to exit the maiden ranks. 2 ROCKANROLLIN has been rested for 77 days, he is very consistent, he ran a nice race for third behind Coco’s Hero at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 27th of September, the yard have dropped this colt in trip on Saturday, if he doesn’t need the run badly, he will have a big say in the finish. 1 THESHOWMUSTGOON has run two excellent races in succession, he ran fifth in his last start up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, even though he wants a bit further, he will be doing some good work late. Watch the first timers closely, they could be anything on debut. (Brandon Bailey: 4 – 2 – 1 – 6)
Race 3
5 CHURCHILLIAN was mighty unlucky in his last start behind Demanding Dave, it was his first run back after a small break, he was inconvenienced at a crucial stage of the race, and that quite simply cost him victory on the 15th of November, he is supremely talented, even though he has a big weight to shoulder on Saturday, he will go close to winning. 3 SPIRIT ran a fair race in the Sophomore Sprint Listed on the 22nd of November, he was beaten just over four lengths by Green Gateway, the yard thinks highly of this individual, top jockey Richard Fourie has been booked to ride, include him into all bets. 8 MAURITIUS KESTREL could be some nice value for the places, he travelled powerfully in his last start behind Pomp It Up on the 22nd of November, he has dropped significantly in the ratings, he will be doing some good work late. 1 NIGHTRAIN was gelded on the 4th of November, he was beaten just under six lengths by One Liner on the 2nd of November, if the gelding has helped, he will be competitive on his best form. (Brandon Bailey: 5 – 3 – 8 – 1)
Race 4
8 SWIATEK finished like a train in her last start behind Double Grand Slam on the 22nd of November, she has no weight on her back for this race, and she steps up in trip to 1800m, if the gaps open at the right time, she will go close to winning. 9 RED PALACE ran a great race behind Legal Counsel on the 8th of November at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, she was entitled to need that run after a long break, she is a quality mare with tons of ability, if she gets some luck in running from a wide draw, she will be competitive. 5 RAINBOW LORIKEET stayed on well for fourth in the same race as Swiatek on the 22nd of November, she will improve tremendously going into this race on Saturday, now that she steps up in trip, she should bounce back to her best form. 4 LITTLE SUZIE needed her last run badly on the 19th of November, the step up in trip will help her chances on Saturday, watch her closely at a decent price. (Brandon Bailey: 8 – 9 – 5 – 4)
Race 5
4 THE US OF A quickened up like a smart sprinter in the making to win a good race at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on the 2nd of November, he was given seven points for that impressive victory in the Southeaster Sprint Listed, top jockey Richard Fourie sticks with this gelding on Saturday, he will be just off the speed early, and he will be thundering home late. 1 OUTLAW KING won a terrific race at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 18th of October, he led them from start to finish on that occasion, he was bumped up three points in the ratings for that good win, he is a quality gelding with a magnificent turn of foot, include him into all bets, he will be right there in the finish. 16 MEU CAPITANO has been rested for 272 days, he never runs a bad race, jockey Andrew Fortune has been booked to ride this gelding on Saturday, if he doesn’t need the run badly, he will be amongst the places at a big price. 3 MAI SENSATION won a good race on the 22nd of November, she was given two points for that win, if she can bring that performance to the track again, she could sneak into the Quartet. This is a tough race; you will need to go wide. (Brandon Bailey: 4 – 1 – 16 – 3)
Race 6
2 GLADATORIAN must have a big winning chance, he was all heart to win a super race over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Greyville on the 7th of November, he will absolutely love the 1600m trip at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday, from a neat draw, he will go close. 3 THE REAL PRINCE has been rested for 139 days, he moved up like a winner in the Champions Cup Gr 1 at Hollywoodbets Greyville on the 27th of July, he is a wonderful horse with tons of ability, there is no doubt that he will be right there in the finish. 9 GARRIX needed his last run badly after a long break, he was beaten just over four lengths by Legal Counsel on the 8th of November, he should be much fitter on Saturday, if he bounces back to his best form, he will run a cracker. 6 MON PETIT CHERIE won a cheeky race up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on the 26th of November, she was entitled to need that run after a lengthy break, there is no doubt that she is packed with class and ability, watch her closely here, she will make the boys work hard for victory. (Brandon Bailey: 2 – 3 – 9 – 6)

2 GIMMIE RULES won well at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on the 15th of November, he was given four points for that win, the yard thinks highly of this colt, he will be just off the speed early, and he will be motoring home late. 4 JAN VAN GOYEN was touched off in the Dingaans Gr 2 at Turffontein Racecourse on the 29th of November, that was his first run back after a long break, in hope that this run hasn’t come too soon, he will go very close to winning. 10 RANDOLPH HEARST came from stone last to run a great second in the Cape Punters Cup Gr 2 on the 22nd of November, the bump close to the finish may have cost him victory on that occasion, he will be switched off early from a wide draw on Saturday, and he will be low flying late, include him into all bets. 7 HAPPY VERSE had absolutely no luck behind Good For You last time, he was caught deep throughout the race, and he was taken up for running close to the finish line, he could be the value horse in this race if everything goes according to plan. (Brandon Bailey: 2 – 4 – 10 – 7)
Race 8
