Cape Racing

Race 1

3 CALL ME JANE ran a lovely race on debut behind Priscilla Maisey when finishing second, she looks to be a decent filly that will improve with every start, include her into all bets. 4 HERITAGE RIDGE was very unlucky in her most recent start when staying on strongly for third, she was very green and should appreciate racing up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, watch her closely. 12 LOVE STORY ran a fair race last time behind a very nice sort, on her best form, she can sneak into the places. 1 LHASA drops in trip to 1000m, her recent run behind Miraculous was good, with a similar performance, she must have a nice Quartet chance.

(Brandon Bailey: 3 – 4 – 12 – 1)

 

Race 2

16 MASTEROFTHEDESERT comes back to the races from gelding, he ran a cracker over 1400m last time behind Water Dragon, he drops back in trip, and this looks a nice race for him to exit the maidens, he will be hard to beat. 15 UNSUNG HERO never runs a bad race, he ran a terrific second behind a nice horse in his last start, he will be competitive again. 7 VICTOR HUGO made up good ground late on debut, there is no doubt that he will improve, include him into all bets. 11 DAWN’S EARLY LIGHT has been rested for 73 days, he had no luck in running from a wide draw on debut at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, with a similar performance, he can go very close.

(Brandon Bailey: 16 – 15 – 7 – 11)

 

Race 3

11 WINTER GAMBLE enjoyed the drop back in trip to 1200m in her last start, the winner of that race looks way above average, she is still very much improving and will be hard to beat here. 5 BENEATH THE CLOUDS was well supported on debut when running just under five lengths behind the winner, the yard think highly of this filly, include her into all bets. 1 FRIDA KAHLO improved nicely from her first start to her second start, she will appreciate the extra 200m, watch her closely late. 6 LITTLE LEXI moved up like she would fight out the finish in her most recent run, on her best form she could earn again.

(Brandon Bailey: 11 – 5 – 1 – 6)

 

Race 4

5 KING’S QUEST was gelded on the 7th of October, he is a magnificent looking sort that should be very hard to beat in this race, from a good draw he will have no excuses. 8 HONOR OF KINGS stayed on powerfully late behind stable companion Regulation last time, he will need some luck in running from a tricky draw, but his form is good and he will be right there in the finish. 7 RIVER HAWK ran a much better race last time, it was his first run over some ground, he is clearly improving with every start, watch him closely. 6 ARIOVISTUS will love the step up in trip, include him into the Quartets.

(Brandon Bailey: 5 – 8 – 7 – 6)

 

Race 5

3 MAJOR MASTER quickened up very smartly to win his maiden at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, the yard think highly of this three-year-old, from a good draw and stepping up in trip to 1600m, he could easily win again. 1 PINOT GRIGIO loved the step up in trip to 1400m last time, he won well beating Major Master by just under one length, he looks progressive and must have a nice each way chance from a good draw. 10 AZZURRI ran on strongly from a long way back to be beaten just over three lengths in a competitive Class 4, he will need lots of luck in running from a wide draw, include him. 2 TOUCHDOWN ran a great race from a wide draw in his last start, he gets a further rating drop and a good draw this time, he will be competitive at a decent price.

(Brandon Bailey: 3 – 1 – 10 – 2)

 

Race 6

1 AMONG THE CLOUDS looked like she was going to lead them from start to finish in her last start, she just got tired towards the end of the race and finished a very creditable third, in hope that she can get some cover early this time, she will go very close to winning. 5 HELIOTROPE hit the line full of running to win going away in her last start, if she can bring that form to Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Tuesday afternoon, she will earn again. 3 LADY SPRINGFIELD must have a huge winning chance, her form is good, and she is better off at the weights with Heliotrope, champion jockey Richard Fourie knows her well, include her into all bets. 2 FORGOTTEN SONG was given a great ride by Sean Veale last time, she enjoyed the step up in trip and the blinkers fitted, she could sneak into the places.

(Brandon Bailey: 1 – 5 – 3 – 2)

 

Race 7

8 JAPANESE ROSE bounced back to form in her last start when finishing a great second behind Be Merry, the form of that race has been franked, off this rating she will be very competitive again. 3 SIDDELEY has run some great races through her career, her last run over 1200m was back on the 27th of January where she absolutely took off to run a super second behind Ripple Effect in the Listed Olympic Duel Stakes, she has dropped in ratings which will help her chances in a big way. 5 SHE’S MY CAPTAIN is probably one of the most consistent mares to race in Cape Town, she will run her usual honest race again. 1 KYALAMI GIRL has been very frustrating to follow, on her day she can win a race like this quite easily, hopefully now that she is back at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, we will see the improvement needed for her to go close.

(Brandon Bailey: 8 – 3 – 5 – 1)

 

Race 8

10 GOLDEN DESTINY won his maiden very impressively on the 5th of November, early in his career he was highly tried against some very smart two-year-olds, now that he has his confidence, he should go very close in this tricky looking Class 4 event. 2 ELIZABEDI GOLD was still very green when winning his debut well, he looks to be a nice big gelding that will improve tremendously with every start, include him into the play. 12 PARATROOPER finished his race off beautifully behind Arctic Wizard, he needs a particular ride and then runs on powerfully late, he should be able to earn again for the connections. 6 LET IT BE SAID has a great action, he ran a super race out the maidens in his last start, with a similar performance he could sneak into the places.

(Brandon Bailey: 10 – 2 – 12 – 6)

 

Race 9

6 OLIVER continues to impress, he has won his last three starts with absolute ease, he drops back in trip to 1200m, he will come with a storming finish late and will be hard to beat again despite his rating going up five points for his last win. 2 DUMBLEDORE fought hard to the line to win well last time, he loves the 1200m trip and will be competitive. 4 ESCARPMENT stayed on really well from a small break on the 9th of November, although he was well beaten for second behind Tenango, he needed that run and should improve a good few lengths on Tuesday. 8 GIMMELIGHTNING rattled home over 1000m last time behind Dance Variety, with the right run in transit, he will be there again in the finish.

(Brandon Bailey: 6 – 2 – 4 – 8)

 

Race 10

12 PINK PIGEON was desperately unlucky in her most recent start behind Scarlet Macaw, she was badly taken up for running at approximately the 300m mark, she is a beautiful athletic filly that should have no problems with the drop in trip to 1000m, include her into all bets. 9 ROCCAPINA has been rested for 87 days, the yard think highly of this filly, she will love the fact that she is racing up the straight again at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, if she doesn’t need the run badly, she will take lots of beating. 11 CHAMPAGNE KISSES ran a terrific race out the maidens last time, she is still improving and can earn again with a similar performance. 6 SWEETIE DARLING needed her last start, she is way above average and will improve lengths, include her into all bet types.

(Brandon Bailey: 12 – 9 – 11 – 6)
