Race Summary: Mount Augustus ran a lovely race on the 12th of June up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he showed good speed early, and stayed on really well for second behind Spirit, he is clearly improving with every start, in this field, he must have a good each way chance. World Warrior finished just over seven lengths behind Saudi Cat on the 17th of June, he was just off the speed early, and stayed on nicely for that sixth position, watch for big improvement here, he could certainly go very close in this field. Iko Iko was a touch disappointing last time behind October Storm, it wasn’t the strongest maiden field around, he jumped well, he travelled well in his race, and then became one paced late, on his best form, he could finish amongst the places. Time Honored ran a much better race on the 12th of June, it was a big field with some decent young horses in the race, if he can bring that run to the track on Tuesday, he will go very close.
Selections: #9 MOUNT AUGUSTUS, #8 WORLD WARRIOR, #4 IKO IKO, #5 TIME HONORED
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 22.07.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R90,000, 12:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Baton Rouge won very impressively on the 17th of June at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he was given five points for that victory, the big weight of 64kgs won’t make life easy for him, but he tries hard and he looks to be in a great space at the moment, he will go very close to winning again. Mela Strength finally cracks a decent draw, he should get the run of the race here, include him into all bets, he will be running on strongly. State Capitol ran a super race behind Midway on the 17th of June, she was drawn wide, and still managed to finish well for third in a driving finish, if she can build on that performance, she will go very close. Naretoi will need to improve quite a bit to win, but he definitely ran a better race last time with the blinkers and the tongue tie fitted, he could sneak into the Quartet at a decent price.
Selections: #2 BATON ROUGE, #1 MELA STRENGTH, #3 STATE CAPITOL, #4 NARETOI

Race Summary: Mighty Mary has been rested for 62 days, she absolutely took off late for second last time behind Take It As Red, she is a nice filly, the step up in trip to 1600m should unlock further improvement, there is no doubt that she will have a big winning chance in this field. Sesame has shown good improvement in her form since being tried over some ground, her last three runs have been excellent, she will be just off the speed early, and she will be running on powerfully late, include her into all bets. Heavenly Mafia ran a fair race behind Paralegal on the 12th of June, she was still very green, the way she finished her race off last time, suggests that she will love the step up in trip to 1600m, watch her closely. Zena’s Act showed good improvement in her last start on the 20th of June at Fairview Racecourse, if she can bring that performance to the track on Tuesday, she could finish amongst the places.

Race Summary: Gold Giboski ran a cracker last time behind Star Major, he is certainly improving with racing, from a good draw, he will go very close to winning. Smart Horse ran a fair race behind Captains Alliance on the 24th of June, he may have just needed that run back from a small rest and gelding, the cheek pieces stay on, he should run a good race from a neat draw. Royal Dawn moved down to the start magnificently last time, he showed massive improvement in his form, he finished second behind Midway, if he can beat the tricky draw here, he will have a good each way chance. Blame It On Me has been well tried in the maiden ranks, he ran well last time behind Boundless Love, it’s very hard to be overly confident with this individual, but he carries no weight on his back on Tuesday, he might be able to sneak into the places at a big price.
Selections: #1 GOLD GIBOSKI, #3 SMART HORSE, #10 ROYAL DAWN, #7 BLAME IT ON ME

Race Summary: Sansa Stark disappointed terribly on the 17th of June, she was never in the race and was well beaten by her stable companion Baton Rouge, she is much better than that performance, from a good draw, and with the apprentice taking off 4kgs, she could certainly bounce back to winning ways. Twice The Master is as honest as they come, he ran a lovely race last time, he stays well and he tries hard, even though it’s hard to win with him, he will run a good race again. Wood World ran a fair race behind Ariovistus on the 21st of June, he has been nice and consistent through his entire career, jockey Gavin Lerena knows him well, he must have a place chance in this field. Heliotrope finished just over three lengths behind the winner in her most recent start over 1950m, she will be switched off early from a tricky draw, and she will be doing her best work late, she is definitely better than her recent run, watch her closely.

Race Summary: The Us Of A quickened up like a smart horse to win very impressively on the 17th of June, he is a lovely looking individual with plenty ability, even though he was given seven points for that victory, he looks talented and will take lots of beating again. Elusive Winter had absolutely no luck in his last start up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he got a bad bump out the gates, he is an absolute speed ball, and he loves this trip of 1000m, if he comes out the gates well, he could be hard to fetch. Peace Of Mind got nailed on the post by Pink Pigeon last time, she ran a great race. she is also very speedy, with no weight on her back on Tuesday, she could finish amongst the places. Tanneron caught the eye late behind Dean Street on the 21st of June, she will be stalking the speed early, and she will be running on powerfully late.

Gravity didn’t find too much late in the finish on the 12th of June, he showed good speed early, and then became very one paced late, he tries hard, at this level, he will always have a good each way chance. Champagne Mac has been rested for 62 days, he tried to lead the field from start to finish on the 21st of May, unfortunately he stopped badly late and he finished five lengths behind his stable companion, he is much better than that, he could improve now that he has been freshened up back at home. Royal Lytham has run some fair races of late, she is consistent, she could certainly trouble them in the finish on her best form.
Selections: #5 LOVERS LANE, #6 GRAVITY, #8 CHAMPAGNE MAC, #9 ROYAL LYTHAM

Carriacou has been rested for 150 days, he is very consistent, he likes to be switched off early, and then he comes with a strong run late, if he doesn’t need the run badly on Tuesday, he will go very close.
