Hollywoodbets Kenilworth WSB Met Meeting Formguides And Selections
R1 3 CLAIR DE LUNE moved up exceptionally well in her last start when finishing second behind her stable companion, she looks to be a classy filly that will get better with more racing, there is no doubt she will be a huge runner here. 8 PARENTAL GUIDANCE looks to be a smart colt in the making, he ran a cracking race behind the unbeaten Black Cheetah in his last start on the 4th of January, the yard thinks highly of this individual, he should run a good race again. 1 WILD WILD GREEN was heavily supported in the market when making a winning debut on the 14th of December, she isn’t very big this daughter of Gimmethegreenlight, but she can quicken very well in her race, include her, she could be anything. 6 SHE’S MY WORLD ran a cracker on debut when staying on strongly for second, she will improve quite a bit from that and could be the value in this race. (Brandon Bailey: 3 – 8 – 1 – 6)
R2 4 DOUBLE GRAND SLAM quickened up in devastating fashion to win her Group 1 last time, she has been in terrific form this season and will be very hard to beat here, she is undoubtedly one of the better bets on the card. 7 FATAL FLAW was given a top ride in her last start to win a great race on the 7th of December, she likes to race up on speed and then kicks on strongly all the way to the line, with a similar performance of her Grade 1 victory last time, she will be the biggest danger to Double Grand Slam. 6 SCARLET MACAW ran on powerfully behind Fatal Flaw in the Cape Fillies Guineas to finish second, she is improving rapidly with every start, watch her closely. 2 RASCOVA is extremely honest at this level, she tries hard and should be in the money. (Brandon Bailey: 4 – 7 – 6 – 2)
R3 6 JOY AND PEACE won impressively at Fairview Racecourse on the 3rd of January, she ran on strongly to win going away on that occasion, jockey Richard Fourie knows her well and she should love the 2000m trip at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, include her into all bets. 1 GIMMETHATPEARL has always been packed with ability, she looked well last time and won a super race on the 28th of December, she is in good form at the moment and should get the run of the race from a top draw of one. 2 SAARTJIE never really got into the race in her last start behind Double Grand Slam, she is a lot better than her recent form, the blinkers have been fitted again and that could help her chances. 3 TIME FOR LOVE came back at them late to run a good third in her most recent start, she raced as if the 2000m trip would suit her down to the ground, include her into the Quartets. (Brandon Bailey: 6 – 1 – 2 – 3)
R4 8 POETS WARRIOR brings in some strong Johannesburg form into this Grade 3 stayers event, he has won his last three races with absolute ease, he likes to race up on speed and he stays really well, he could be very hard to fetch late. 7 TRIPLE TIME should be cherry ripe for this race, he is much better than his recent form over 1800m, now that he is back over the right trip, he should show sharp improvement, include him into all bets. 4 KING PELLES absolutely relished the step up in trip to 2500m last time, he sat just off the pace and finished strongly to win a good race, he is very consistent and should be right there again despite his rating going up significantly. 10 HOLDING THUMBS is as honest as they come, the blinkers have been fitted, and he should remain competitive in this tricky race. (Brandon Bailey: 8 – 7 – 4 – 10)
R5 7 CAPTAIN WEST is a beautiful looking son of One World, he returns to the races from a rest and gelding, he ran a fair race last time in the Grade 2 Punters Cup behind star colt One Stripe, he looks progressive and should run a cracker if he doesn’t need the run badly. 1 SOLOMONS SEAL fought hard all the way to the line behind The Grey King last time, he was drawn poorly on that occasion and still managed to run a good second, from a good draw here over this trip of 1400m, he will be right there in the finish. 6 THE GREY KING was taken to the front last time when beating Solomons Seal in a driving finish, he was far more relaxed in his race and that helped him in a big way, with a similar performance again, he will go close to winning. 10 LET IT BE SAID is very consistent, if he gets some luck from a poor draw, he could finish in the money again. (Brandon Bailey: 7 – 1 – 6 – 10)
R6 12 CANDY TOWN is an absolute speed ball of note, she led her field from start to finish to win super impressively on the 4th of January, she comes out the gates like lightning and will try her best to beat them from the front again in this competitive listed event, there is no doubt she will be right there for a long way. 13 MAI SENSATION dropped in trip last time and quickened up smartly to win going away at the line, she has always been packed with ability and should give a good account of herself again. 8 SUMMER LILY stayed on strongly behind Asiye Phambili in her last start when finishing fourth, she likes to be held up in her races and then storms home late, watch her closely at a decent price. 16 SYMPHONY IN WHITE is much better than her recent performance, on her day she can certainly run with some of the best, include her into the play. (Brandon Bailey: 12 – 13 – 8 – 16)
R7 6 GIMME A PRINCE moved up like a winner in the Grade 1 L’Ormarins King’s Plate on the 4th of January, he just got tired late and finished a good third behind One Stripe, his sprinting form is excellent and he should enjoy the drop back in trip, with the right run in transit, he will be finishing fast and could be very hard to beat. 4 DYCE has done everything right since being gelded, he was a touch unlucky last time when getting pipped on the post by Golden Sickle, his form is excellent, there is no doubt he has put his hand up as one of the best sprinters in the land, he will go very close here. 3 SURJAY ran a terrific third with a huge weight on his back in the Grade 2 Cape Merchants on the 22nd of December, he is honest and tries hard, he should be right there again. 8 CAFE CULTURE needed his last run and still managed to run a cracking second behind Outlaw King, he will tighten up from that performance and could surprise them all. (Brandon Bailey: 6 – 4 – 3 – 8)
R8 10 EIGHT ON EIGHTEEN absolutely flew late for second behind One Stripe in the Grade 1 Cape Guineas, he is a good-looking colt with tons of class, he looks well weighted in this Grade 1 and should love the step up in trip to 2000m, he could be very hard to beat. 3 ORIENTAL CHARM is much better than his last run over 1600m, he travelled well and just became one paced late in the race, he will enjoy stepping up in trip from a good draw, he should bounce back here and go very close. 4 FUTURE SWING was very unlucky in his most recent start behind Rascallion, he was held up for running and finished powerfully for fourth, his form is good and he could be some value in this Grade 1 contest. 16 RASCALLION has been in great form over the last few months, what a soldier he has been for the connections, if he can get some luck in running from a poor draw, he should have a place chance. (Brandon Bailey: 10 – 3 – 4 – 16)
R9 11 GARRIX had no luck in his last start on the 4th of January behind Sail The Seas, he was a long way back from a poor draw and took off to run a very good 5th only beaten just under four lengths by the winner, even though he is poorly drawn again for this race, he will love the step up in trip to 1800m and should go very close to winning. 9 REGULATION ran on strongly to win a good race on the 18th of December, he has a beautiful action and looks to be getting better with every start, he will be right there in the finish. 8 MAJOR MASTER had to dig deep to win a gutsy race last time, he was heavily supported in the market and managed to put his head down at exactly the right time, he will love the trip and looks progressive, include him. 12 SAIL THE SEAS has always been held in high regard by the stable, he won a good race on the 4th of January, with some luck from a poor draw, he could sneak into the places. (Brandon Bailey: 11 – 9 – 8 – 12)
R10 10 PLEASE BE TRUE must be a massive runner in this Class 4 event, he ran a super race behind his stable companion on the 4th of January when finishing fourth just over three lengths behind the winner, he is a nice type that should mature into a decent sort, with some luck in running from a tricky draw, he should have a good each way chance. 6 COMMANDING stayed on strongly in his last start behind Garrix when finishing second, he really enjoyed being out in front and if the same tactics are applied here on Saturday, he could certainly make them all work for victory. 3 GREEN GARNET won his maiden well on the 14th of December, this is a big step up in class for him, but he is progressive and could show the necessary improvement to be competitive again. 8 KING’S QUEST accelerated like a smart horse to win well on the 26th of November, the form lines of that race have worked out well, he could be some value in this tough race. (Brandon Bailey: 10 – 6 – 3 – 8)
R11 11 THE REAL PRINCE absolutely took off late to run a good fourth in the Grade 2 Cape Merchants last time, even though he has drawn poorly for this A Stakes race, he will be switched off early and should be running on powerfully late, he is very talented and must be included into all bet types. 13 SNOW PILOT had one or two hard luck stories in the Grade 1 event last time when finishing just over five lengths behind the winner, he is a strong galloper and will try his best to lead them from start to finish here. 4 ALL OUT FOR SIX is much better than his recent performance in the Grade 1 Cape Guineas, he is very gutsy on his day and could easily win a race like this if he bounces back to his best form, watch him closely. 1 SUGAR MOUNTAIN should enjoy the drop in trip, there should be no excuses for him from a good draw, include him into the Quartets. (Brandon Bailey: 11 – 13 – 4 – 1)
R12 14 THE US OF A needed his last run badly and still managed to run on powerfully for second behind Bluff On Bluff, if he doesn’t go flat in his second start after a long break, he should go very close to winning, he is a nice horse and must be watched closely for the future. 9 EMPIRE STATE has run two very good seconds now in succession, he has dropped significantly in trip from 1600m all the way down to 1200m, but he is progressive and will be on the premises. 10 CARRIACOU is extremely consistent, the drop in trip could help him get his head in front, he will be finishing very quickly late. 7 WAR CHARIOT needs a particular ride, he needs to be held up in his races and then get produced very late, if the race works out for him, he should be in the money at a good price. (Brandon Bailey: 14 – 9 – 10 – 7)
