HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.06.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1500m, Turf, R150,000, 11:25GMT+2

Race Summary: RANDOLPH HEARST won super impressively last time, he sat just off the speed early, and really finished well to win a good race on the 21st of April, he will love the step up in trip, he looks classy, and should take lots of beating in this race. ALL THE RAGE ran a great race in the Grade 3 Winter Nursery on the 4th of May, he was still green and still managed to stay on nicely for third behind Dreamworld, he steps up in trip now, from a good draw, he will be right there in the finish. ROLAND GARROS caught the eye last time, he quickened up beautifully to win his maiden in style, he will get better and stronger with more racing, watch him closely, he could trouble them late. SIERRA SAGRADA was very disappointing on the 13th of May, he is much better than that, he could sneak into the places from a good draw.

Selections: #4 RANDOLPH HEARST, #1 ALL THE RAGE, #3 ROLAND GARROS, #2 SIERRA SAGRADA

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.06.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R125,000, 12:00GMT+2

Race Summary: GIMMETHATPEARL ran a cracking race in the Listed Ladies Mile on the 4th of May, she ran third behind Time For Love, she can be a tricky ride, but she is packed with ability, this looks to be the perfect race, she will go very close to winning here. MY ONLY WEAKNESS won really well last time, she is so consistent this filly, even though she was given five points for that win on the 28th of April, she will remain competitive at this level. KAMCHATKA returns from a small break of 77 days, she is a big filly with lots of potential, if she doesn’t need the run on Sunday, she will be amongst the places. ROYALS is much better than her recent form, she could certainly surprise on her day.

Selections: #3 GIMMETHATPEARL, #6 MY ONLY WEAKNESS, #5 KAMCHATKA, #2 ROYALS

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.06.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1950m, Turf, R135,000, 12:35GMT+2

Race Summary: SONG TO THE MOON showed tremendous heart to win last time, even though it was a small field, he was towards the back early, and really quickened smartly on the inside fence to win well, he was given four points for that victory, but he is progressive and should love this trip of 1950m on Sunday. WE HAVE TOUCHDOWN is slowly starting to show his true potential, he ran a great race behind La Pulga on the 14th of April, if he can build on that performance, he should be right there in the finish from a good draw. PINOT GRIGIO ran on strongly to win going away at the line on the 6th of May, he was given five points for that win, he is still improving, watch him closely, he will be doing some good work late. DUBBELOSIX powered away from his field to win like a smart horse on the 28th of April, he was given six points for that win, he must have a solid winning chance again in this tricky race.

Selections: #3 SONG TO THE MOON, #1 WE HAVE TOUCHDOWN, #5 PINOT GRIGIO, #4 DUBBELOSIX

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.06.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1950m, Turf, R90,000, 13:10GMT+2

Race Summary: PAST AND PRESENT had no luck in running on the 4th of May, there was a false start called, which got him fired up quite early, he then raced freely throughout the race, and only the last 150m did he become one paced, he has been so consistent, he will take lots of beating in this open maiden race. BEAUTIFUL SIDE ran a top race from a wide draw on the 21st of April, the blinkers stay on, and she gets a nice draw on Sunday, she must be respected. COPPER PLATE showed absolutely no speed last time in the 1200m race at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he should appreciate the step up in trip here, even though he will need to improve quite a bit to win, he could be the dark horse for the places at a big price. MOMENT OF TRUTH is much better than his recent form, ignore his last run completely, if he gets some cover early, he will be running at them late.

Selections: #2 PAST AND PRESENT, #3 BEAUTIFUL SIDE, #7 COPPER PLATE, #10 MOMENT OF TRUTH

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.06.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R110,000, 13:45GMT+2

Race Summary: LA DIVINA showed massive heart to win a lovely race on the 13th of May, she was only given two points for that win, she likes to race up on speed, she will go very close to winning again from a good draw. ONI SAN is slowly starting to drop in the ratings, she has dropped two points again from her last run behind La Divina, everything is in her favour here, jockey Gavin Lerena knows her well, she must have a solid each way chance. SWIATEK ran a fair race behind My Only Weakness on the 28th of April, she was drawn wide on that occasion, she has also dropped in the ratings, watch for a much better run from this filly. KAMAKAZI ran a better race last time, if she can build on that performance, she might be able to sneak into the Quartet.

Selections: #1 LA DIVINA, #3 ONI SAN, #2 SWIATEK, #4 KAMAKAZI

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.06.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R120,000, 14:20GMT+2

Race Summary: BOOGIEFIED returns from a small break of 77 days, he won a super race on the 16th of March, he was given three points for that win, if he doesn’t need the run on Sunday, he will take lots of beating again. RHYDIAN quickened up nicely to win a good race on the 13th of May, he will need to improve now that he steps up from maiden company, but he looks progressive and he should love this trip of 1400m, include him into all bets. TRIPPI’S SILK has run two cracking races in succession, he has the ability, but he is also very tricky, from a good draw, he will get the run of the race, watch him closely at a fair price. ARBITRATION ran an absolute cracker behind Chasingtherainbow on the 16th of April, he finished third in a driving finish, he looks to be getting better with more racing, he definitely has a winning chance in this field.

Selections: #6 BOOGIEFIED, #3 RHYDIAN, #1 TRIPPI’S SILK, #2 ARBITRATION

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.06.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R250,000, 14:55GMT+2

Race Summary: ABSOLUTELY YES ran a terrific second behind Dreamworld in the Grade 3 Winter Nursery on the 4th of May, it was his first run back after gelding, he looks to be a smart type, he will take lots of beating in this Listed event. SHE’S MY WORLD won her maiden well on the 4th of May at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, she is extremely progressive, there is no doubt that she will be right there in the finish on her best form, include her into all bets. CHURCHILLIAN was given a good ride by Jockey Aldo Domeyer to win his maiden in style on the 6th of May, he is well related, he looks to be a nice sprinter in the making, watch him closely here. THREE TIGERS finished his race off beautifully last time, he was on speed early, and then quickened away to win his maiden like a very nice horse, he can only improve from that dominant performance.

Selections: #2 ABSOLUTELY YES, #6 SHE’S MY WORLD, #7 CHURCHILLIAN, #5 THREE TIGERS

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.06.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R120,000, 15:30GMT+2

Race Summary: ONE LINER has been rested and gelded, his form is solid, the yard thinks highly of this individual, if he doesn’t need the run on Sunday, he will go very close to winning. CIRCUMBENDIBUS moved up like a winner in his last start, he had to settle for second behind the talented Jet Force, even though he was penalised one point for finishing second, it’s very hard to fault his recent form, he should be right there in the finish. ESCARPMENT has run some fair races of late, he is slowly starting to slide in the ratings, with the right run in transit, he could certainly be in the money here at a nice price. STREET OUTLAW ran no sort of a race last time behind Paratrooper, he was beaten just under six lengths by the winner, he is much better than that, if he can bounce back to form, he could sneak into the Quartet.

Selections: #3 ONE LINER, #5 CIRCUMBENDIBUS, #14 ESCARPMENT, #6 STREET OUTLAW

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.06.2025, Race 9, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R80,000, 16:05GMT+2

Race Summary: BECKY SHARP has run two terrific seconds in succession, she can be a difficult filly, but her recent form is good, she must have a nice winning chance in this field. ELECTROMAGNETISM won her maiden in style on the 13th of May, she is a young filly with lots of ability, she is still improving with every start, there is no doubt she will go close to winning again. MUSIC OF THE NIGHT has been rested for 79 days, she ran a fair race in the Listed East Cape Nursery on the 14th of March, if she doesn’t need this run on Sunday, she will be right there in the finish. COLD BREEZE quickened up beautifully to win her maiden quite well on the 13th of May, she likes to race just off the speed early, and then she charges at them late, include her into all bets.

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.06.2025, Race 10, Gallops, 1700m, Turf, R120,000, 16:40GMT+2

Race Summary: MAJOR MASTER had no luck in running on the 6th of May behind Pinot Grigio, he was taken up for a number of strides at about the 300m mark, once the gap opened, he absolutely took off to run fourth, he looks to be a nice horse in the making, from a good draw here, he will go close to winning the lucky last. CHASINGTHERAINBOW finished like a train to win a good race on the 16th of April, he could be anything, he has a striking turn of foot, he will be finishing powerfully again, include him into the play. CONGRESSMAN comes back to the races from a break of 71 days, he has won his last two races in excellent fashion, he can be very strong from the front, if he gets away from the field early, he will be hard to catch. HOODIA looked like he had won the race last time, he did everything right, and got nailed on the post by Chasingtherainbow, from a good draw, he will run a massive race again, don’t leave him out any bets.

Selections: #4 MAJOR MASTER, #11 CHASINGTHERAINBOW, #3 CONGRESSMAN, #1 HOODIA

Best Win: #4 RANDOLPH HEARST

Best Value Bet: #3 GIMMETHATPEARL
