HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 29.07.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R150,000, 13:05GMT+2
Race Summary: SAUDI CAT won very impressively on debut, even though the market suggested that he may need the run, he quickened away from his field like a smart horse, he will take lots of beating again. ALL THE RAGE ran a cracker over 1500m last time, he ran third behind Roland Garros in a tight finish, the yard thinks highly of this individual, now that he is back up the straight again at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he could certainly trouble them all in the finish. DEMANDING DAVE has been rested for 86 days, he finished like a train in the Grade 3 Winter Nursery on the 4th of May, his form is very good, if he doesn’t need the run badly, he will have a good place chance in this field. SPIRIT won a good race on the 12th of June, it was his first run back after gelding, and he finished strongly to win going away at the line, he is clearly still improving, watch him closely.
Selections: #7 SAUDI CAT, #3 ALL THE RAGE, #2 DEMANDING DAVE, #5 SPIRIT
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 29.07.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R100,000, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: SWIFT SERENITY has shown good improvement with every run, she was just off the speed early last time, and then stayed on nicely for third behind Stormwatch, this doesn’t look to be the strongest race on paper, if she can build on her recent performance, she will have a massive winning chance here. ALESSIA ASHEVILLE has been rested for 125 days, she has run two very good races in succession from wide draws at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, if she doesn’t need the run badly on Tuesday, she will have a big winning chance at a decent price. HERITAGE RIDGE ran a fair race on the 12th of June behind Clair De Lune, she has been well tried in the maiden ranks, her form is consistent, she must have a good place chance in this field. PENNYS CHOICE disappointed terribly on the 17th of June, she was very one paced, the blinkers have now been fitted, hopefully that will help her improve.
Selections: #2 SWIFT SERENITY, #4 ALESSIA ASHEVILLE, #3 HERITAGE RIDGE, #7 PENNYS CHOICE
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 29.07.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1500m, Turf, R110,000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: SIERRA SAGRADA was a touch unlucky in his last start behind Dricus, it was his first run back after gelding, he really caught the eye late when running on powerfully from a long way back, he will take lots of beating in this field from a good draw. RED WAVE has been rested for 69 days, he ran a terrific race over 1000m last time behind Three Tigers, he now steps up in trip and he gets a neat draw, watch him closely. GETUPANDGO has been rested for 65 days, he will need to improve quite a bit to win, he is definitely better than what his form is showing, watch for major improvement now that he steps up in trip. GREEN COMMANDER ran a shocker on the 12th of June behind Late December, perhaps the step up in trip will help him improve.
Selections: #2 SIERRA SAGRADA, #3 RED WAVE, #1 GETUPANDGO, #7 GREEN COMMANDER
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 29.07.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R135,000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: GIMMELIGHTNING has run two lovely races in succession behind progressive sorts, he enjoys the underfoot conditions being on the softer side, he will be switched off early, and he will come with a strong run late, include him into all bets. SURGE OF POWER bounced back to form last time, he won a super race on the 1st of June, he has always been a talented sprinter, he was given two points for that gutsy victory, if he can back that performance up on Tuesday, he will go very close to winning. SCOTTISH KISS must have a good each way chance here, he ran a nice race on the 1st of June behind Boogiefied over 1400m, if the drop in trip doesn’t worry him, he will be right there in the finish. MAURITIUS KESTREL gets the tongue tie fitted on Tuesday afternoon, he is very consistent and he has dropped in the ratings, watch him closely.
Selections: #5 GIMMELIGHTNING, #1 SURGE OF POWER, #4 SCOTTISH KISS, #3 MAURITIUS KESTREL
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 29.07.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1100m, Turf, R80,000, 15:25GMT+2
Race Summary: DU MAURIER won her maiden in stylish fashion on the 24th of June up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, she travelled beautifully in her race, and then quickened away from the field to win convincingly, she is a young filly with lots of potential, there is absolutely no doubt that she will go very close to winning again. ROSA OSIRIA ran a lovely race last time behind Over The Atlantic, she fought hard all the way to the line, she never really runs a bad race, if she can bring her last performance to the track again on Tuesday, she will be very competitive. GOLDEN TATJANA ran a shocker behind Pink Pigeon on the 12th of June, she is much better than that, she has dropped even further in the ratings, and she gets the services of leading jockey Gavin Lerena, she could be the value in this tricky looking race. GOLDEN IDEAL has run some fair races in her career, top jockey Richard Fourie gets the ride on this filly, on her best form, she will have a good winning chance.
Selections: #9 DU MAURIER, #11 ROSA OSIRIA, #7 GOLDEN TATJANA, #1 GOLDEN IDEAL
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 29.07.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R120,000, 16:00GMT+2
Race Summary: KING’S QUEST won really well on the 24th of June at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he was given four points for that impressive victory, again he gets a good draw, he must have a good winning chance in this field. AFRIQUE ran second to King’s Quest last time, he was doing some good work late, now that he is better off at the weights, he must have an obvious winning chance, include him into all bets. BEL CANTO DREAM ran a good race in testing conditions on the 17th of June, he was just off the speed early, and then stayed on well enough to finish just over four lengths behind the winner, even though he carries a big weight on Tuesday, he should be amongst the places on his best form. SHOW OFF had no luck in running from a wide draw last time, he still managed to run a decent race behind King’s Quest, now that he gets a decent draw, he certainly can be very dangerous in the finish.
Selections: #3 KING’S QUEST, #2 AFRIQUE, #6 BEL CANTO DREAM, #5 SHOW OFF
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 29.07.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R90,000, 16:35GMT+2
Race Summary: STATE CAPITOL moved up like a winner in her last start behind Baton Rouge, her form of late has been excellent, if this race hasn’t come too soon for her, she will take lots of beating. 5 MIDWAY found solid support in the market on the 17th of June, he was given a great ride by jockey Luyolo Mxothwa to win a gutsy race, it was a deserved victory for this gelding, he was given two points for that win, on his current form, he can certainly win again. SAINT BRIGID stayed on well for third behind Music Of The Night on the 21st of June up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, she is consistent, and this does look to be a better trip for her, she will be running on strongly. MELA STRENGTH never runs a bad race, unfortunately the wide draw and the big weight won’t make life easy for him, if he gets some luck in running, he could sneak into the Quartet.
Selections: #4 STATE CAPITOL, #5 MIDWAY, #2 SAINT BRIGID, #10 MELA STRENGTH
Best Win: #2 SIERRA SAGRADA
Best Value Bet: #4 STATE CAPITOL
Best Longshot: #4 ALESSIA ASHEVILLE
