Race Summary: 6 SOUTH OF FRANCE ran a great race on debut behind Match That, she was only beaten just under four lengths by the winner, the form of that race has worked out well, this doesn’t look to be the strongest race on paper, she will go very close to winning here. 1 LOWVELD LILY caught the eye late on debut, she was terribly green early, and then finished powerfully to run third behind Ukuduma, she will get better with more racing, include her into all bets. 2 MY DEAR FRIEND stayed on nicely in her first start at the races, she was only beaten just over five lengths by the winner, she should be running on well late, watch her closely. 4 VIVA LA VIDA is the interesting horse in the race, she is well-bred, Jockey Gavin Lerena has been booked to ride her on debut, watch the market closely.

Race Summary: 3 SIERRA SAGRADA ran a great race against older horses last time, he was still very green, from a good draw here, he should get the perfect run, he will be very hard to beat in this race. 2 DIAMOND DAYS must have a good each way chance, he made good improvement behind a smart horse last time at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, if he can build on that performance, he will be a major player in the finish. 4 BALZI ROSSI ran a fair race behind Randolph Hearst on the 21st of April, it was strong race with some high quality individuals in it, he is improving with every start, watch for a big performance from this colt. 5 MAGNUS THE GOOD finished six lengths behind his stable companion at Hollywoodbets Durbanville in his last start, the apprentice takes off 2,5kgs, he might be able to get into the Quartet if he keeps improving.

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 13.05.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R100,000, 13:50GMT+2

Race Summary: 7 THINGAMABOB should go very close to winning here, she ended up in a good position from a wide draw at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time, she did have some interference up the straight, but the drop in trip is key for this individual, she will be right there in the finish on her best form. 6 RUBY REX ran a huge race last time behind the unbeaten Ukuduma, she travelled beautifully and looked to have the race in the bag going past the 200m mark, unfortunately she got reeled in late and had to settle for second, her form up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth is very good, she will be competitive and her chances must be respected. 3 AMERICAN ULTRA has been rested for a long time, her two runs to date have been good, if she doesn’t need the run badly, she could quite easily win a race like this. 2 FLEUR DE VILLE has been rested for 66 days, she has been well tried in the maiden ranks, she could sneak into the Quartet at a decent price.

Selections: #7 THINGAMABOB, #6 RUBY REX, #3 AMERICAN ULTRA, #2 FLEUR DE VILLE

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 13.05.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R110,000, 14:25GMT+2

Race Summary: 4 RHYDIAN was very unlucky in his last start behind Green Planet, he travelled well in his race and only managed to find a gap very late, he probably would have needed that run as well from a long break, if he has made the necessary improvement back at home, he will be tough to beat in this race. 3 KLEIN KAROO stayed on nicely for fourth in the same race as Rhydian last time, he showed good speed and only got tired very late, he should improve nicely from that performance, include him into all your Swingers, Trifectas, Exactas and Quartets. 9 BOUNDLESS LOVE finished third in the same race as Rhydian and Klein Karoo on the 16th of April, he settled midfield and was hard ridden late to get up for third behind Green Planet, he is definitely improving with racing, include him into all bets. 11 DIGBY ran a lovely race on the 14th of April, it was his first run back from a long break, he was only beaten just over two lengths by the winner, he should make major improvement, watch him closely.

Selections: #4 RHYDIAN, #3 KLEIN KAROO, #9 BOUNDLESS LOVE, #11 DIGBY

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 13.05.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R80,000, 15:00GMT+2

Race Summary: 4 COLD BREEZE finished like a train for third behind Angel’s Oasis on the 14th of April, she was just off the speed early and managed to do some good work late in a big field, if she can back that performance up on Tuesday afternoon, she will go very close to winning. 3 VIVO PER LEI drops back in trip to 1200m for this Open Maiden, she ran a fair race against winners last time, this is a weak race on paper, if she enjoys the drop in trip, she will be right there in the finish. 9 CALL ME JANE finished just under three lengths behind Dive Bomber on the 28th of April, it was her first run back from a long break, she has been lightly raced, watch for big improvement from this filly. 2 ROSA OSIRIA gets the blinkers fitted, she might be able to get into the places on her best form.

Selections: #4 COLD BREEZE, #3 VIVO PER LEI, #9 CALL ME JANE, #2 ROSA OSIRIA

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 13.05.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1100m, Turf, R135,000, 15:35GMT+2

Race Summary: 5 EMPIRE STATE was gelded on the 31st of March, he is a lovely horse packed with lots of ability, he ran a great race in the Big Cap behind All Out For Six, he won a good race over this trip in his penultimate start on the 15th of February, he will be finishing strongly and must have a good winning chance. 6 ELUSIVE WINTER is an absolute speed ball, he has been so consistent, he ran a cracker last time behind Air Raid, the form of that race has worked out well, he will be the horse they all need to fetch. 7 BLUFF ON BLUFF never runs a bad race, he has done exceptionally well for his trainer and owners involved, he will be sitting just off the speed early, and he will be doing good work late. 3 GIMMELIGHTNING needed his last run badly, he should make big improvement here, watch him closely.

Selections: #5 EMPIRE STATE, #6 ELUSIVE WINTER, #7 BLUFF ON BLUFF, #3 GIMMELIGHTNING

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 13.05.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1500m, Turf, R110,000, 16:15GMT+2

Race Summary: 7 KLEINZEE looks to be a very smart filly in the making, she has won her last two races in good fashion, she was drawn badly last time, and still managed to finish well to win a great race, she is progressive and must have a good winning chance again off this new rating of 82. 3 LA DIVINA ran a super race at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 22nd of March, she was forced to work hard early from a wide draw, she showed good heart to finish second behind Fun Zone who went on to run a cracker behind Time For Love in the Listed Ladies Mile, If she gets some cheap sectionals early, she will be hard to peg back here. 4 LADY LOOK ALIKE won well on the 16th of April, she was given five points for that victory, she is very consistent, include her into the play. 2 ONI SAN ran a fair race behind My Only Weakness on the 28th of April, she probably needs to slide further in the ratings, the draw will help her here, she could run a place at best.

Selections: #7 KLEINZEE, #3 LA DIVINA, #4 LADY LOOK ALIKE, #2 ONI SAN

Best Win: #4 RHYDIAN

Best Value Bet: #7 KLEINZEE
