Race Summary: RACHETTU is improving rapidly and gets the services of in-form Louis Burke. He rates the one to beat. JOUEUR DE FLUTE is taking time, holding form and has a huge place chance. CASINO KING has claims on good penultimate and FINAL CALL can serve up more off the good last run.

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 24.12.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R90,000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: REDLIGHT LANE is an interesting runner and was only 5,5 lengths off the winner last time. She could still improve and is the each way value suggestion. FANTINE is improving with racing and should go very close to winning. AUTUMN RUSH ran a fair race last time and can earn again. GATHERING WINTER has quartet credentials.
Selections: #1 REDLIGHT LANE, #8 FANTINE, #4 AUTUMN RUSH, #5 GATHERING WINTER
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 24.12.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R90,000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: CUTIE PATOOTIE caught the eye on debut when placing third of eleven and with natural progression, could be tough to beat. AURELIAN went close last time and should not be a maiden for too much longer – big chance. KISSES can do way better than her last three but is never far off the action and has a bright place chance. BEAUTIFUL ONE is a must for trifectas and quartets.
Selections: #7 CUTIE PATOOTIE, #2 AURELIAN, #6 KISSES, #9 BEAUTIFUL ONE
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 24.12.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1500m, Turf, R140,000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: IN MOTION is banging loudly at the door having achieved four seconds in his last four runs and has only had five career starts. If he doesn’t win today, he may battle going forward. TIME HONORED is never far off the winner and should be in the firing line and a must for all bets. MONTESSORI surely has plenty scope for more progression and can be included in on the shortlist. BARRY’S BOY could be the quartet value.
Selections: #3 IN MOTION, #4 TIME HONORED, #5 MONTESSORI, #1 BARRY’S BOY
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 24.12.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R175,000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: ELUSIVE WINTER is speedy, has solid form and rates an obvious bright winning chance. FIRE ATTACK wants further but in saying that his last run was huge when racing over 1160m finishing second to Buffalo Storm Cody on the Highveld. Despite needing further and getting ready for other races to come – he can go very close – each way chance. TENANGO and WINTER SNAP are must includes for the quartet.
Selections: #2 ELUSIVE WINTER, #1 FIRE ATTACK, #3 TENANGO, #4 WINTER SNAP
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 24.12.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R140,000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: RATTLESNAKE is holding consistent form, again gets weight off the back from the talented apprentice and is the warm order first choice. CAVALRY COMMANDER ran a much better race last time when nearly beating Gold Giboski and can go one more. CATCH A PENNY is a stunning filly that won a gutsy race last time. She is one for the shortlist and must be factored into all bets. MOODY BLUE is a recent maiden winner but could fair well and place first time in open company – quartet inclusion.
Selections: #2 RATTLESNAKE, #10 CAVALRY COMMANDER, #6 CATCH A PENNY, #5 MOODY BLUE
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 24.12.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R90,000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: THE NIGHT FERRY is likely to punch forward and take the race by the scruff of the neck and can hold on. Richard Fourie sticks with the ride which is always a great sign. Stable mate GOLD INDEX is consistent and never far off the action, big chance. DEVIL A SAINT is taking time for the next win but went close last time and must be respected and included. MELA STRENGTH always has claims and a warrants inclusion in the quartet.
Selections: #7 THE NIGHT FERRY, #6 GOLD INDEX, #4 DEVIL A SAINT, #5 MELA STRENGTH
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 24.12.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R90,000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: SILVER SALUTE showed encouraging progression at the second time of asking and with the likelihood of more to come, could rate a hard horse to oppose. SOUTH OF FRANCE keeps running third but should get it all right soon, strong place chance. BURNING DESIRE ran a good race on debut and would have come on from the experience and can be expected to get way closer this time – big runner. GREEK HEIRESS went close last time and should again finish in the money.
Selections: #2 SILVER SALUTE, #3 SOUTH OF FRANCE, #6 BURNING DESIRE, #7 GREEK HEIRESS
Best Win: #7 CUTIE PATOOTIE
Best Value Bet: #5 MELA STRENGTH
Best Longshot: #5 MELA STRENGTH
