Race Summary: SPARKLING STAR must have a good winning chance in this field, she ran a great race on debut behind Shezaripper at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on the 22nd of February, with natural improvement expected from this well-bred filly, she will be hard to beat.

MYSTIC INFERNO jumped out the gates well on debut, she was in it for a long way before getting tired late behind Shezaripper on the 22nd of February, she will improve tons going into this race on Wednesday, watch her closely. WHAT THE FLUFF has been rested for 78 days, she ran a fair race on debut behind St Harry on the 13th of January, the form of that race has worked out well, she could sneak into the places at a big price.

Race Summary: IONA CASTLE never runs a bad race, she travelled like a winner last time when finishing just under two lengths behind Peaches And Cream on the 14th of February, the drop in trip to 1000m could be key for this filly, she has a big winning chance in this field. SWIFT SERENITY ran a great race behind Starting Point at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on the 22nd of February, the blinkers have been removed, she will be right there in the finish on her current form. KIERA ROSE showed good improvement around the turn at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 14th of February, she finished just under three lengths behind Ebisu, if she brings her last run to the track again on Wednesday, she will be amongst the places. SCANDALIZE ran a much better race behind Starting Point last time, she might be able to sneak into the Quartet on her best form.
Selections: #1 IONA CASTLE, #7 SWIFT SERENITY, #4 KIERA ROSE, #3 SCANDALIZE
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.04.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R125,000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: SOMMERSTERN stayed on well for third behind In A Timely Manner on the 25th of February, the form of that race has worked out well, he has a wonderful turn of foot, and he has a good draw, he will go close to winning. IT IS MY TIME just missed in a driving finish behind King’s Quest at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 4th of March, unfortunately he was given two points for running second last time, if he beats the tricky draw here, and he manages to get some cheap sectionals in front, he will make them all work for victory. FAST TRAIN could be anything, he won a great race up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on the 22nd of February, he will love the step up in trip to 1400m, include him into all bets. LOVING PRAGUE ran a much better race behind Lady Look Alike on the 18th of March, there should be no excuses for this well-bred colt from a neat draw on Wednesday, watch him closely.
Selections: #2 SOMMERSTERN, #7 IT IS MY TIME, #3 FAST TRAIN, #1 LOVING PRAGUE
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.04.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R110,000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: LARK’S SONG moved up well in her race when finishing second behind Amayah on the 14th of February, she looks extremely progressive, there is no doubt that she has a winning chance now that she steps up in trip again to 1800m. PENTOLINA was a touch unlucky when finishing fast for second behind Dream Searcher on the 4th of March, she is honest, and she tries hard, she will be right there in the finish on her current form. SPIRIT OF LEVANA found big betting support when flying home late to win a good race at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 18th of March, she was given three points for that win last time, she has a low weight on her back for this race on Wednesday, if she builds on her last performance, she can certainly win again. BENEATH THE CLOUDS could be the value horse in this tricky race, she can be dangerous from the front, watch her closely at a decent price.
Selections: #5 LARK’S SONG, #2 PENTOLINA, #4 SPIRIT OF LEVANA, #7 BENEATH THE CLOUDS
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.04.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R80,000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: FINAL CALL powered home from a long way back to run a great race at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 3rd of March, she really was finishing quickly for third behind Star World last time, this doesn’t look to be the strongest race on paper, she will be just off the speed early, and she will be flying at them late, include her into all bets. MEG’S LEGACY could be some decent value in this race, ignore her last run completely, the race didn’t go according to plan for her, she drops in trip to 1200m on Wednesday, and the compression mask has been fitted, if the gaps open at the right time, she will run a big race. WILLIAM’S WOMAN ran fourth in the same race as Final Call last time, she must have a nice place chance on her current form. WHY NOT JACKIE has been rested for 87 days, she has dropped even further in the ratings, she will be doing some good work late.
Selections: #3 FINAL CALL, #1 MEG’S LEGACY, #7 WILLIAM’S WOMAN, #6 WHY NOT JACKIE
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.04.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1100m, Turf, R90,000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: FORT RED disappointed terribly at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 18th of March, he didn’t stay the trip of 1600m, now that he is back sprinting up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he will run a much better race. COUNTRY TIME quickened away from her field to win a good race on the 14th of February, she was given two points for that impressive win, she will be just off the speed early here, and she will be running on strongly late, she has a big winning chance again. SLASH ‘N BURN ran a terrific race for second behind Galactus on the 18th of March, his form has improved nicely with the blinkers, include him into all bets. AFRICAN MEMOIR ran a much better race behind Rattlesnake on the 4th of February, he has dropped further in the ratings, keep a close eye on him.
Selections: #3 FORT RED, #5 COUNTRY TIME, #2 SLASH ‘N BURN, #8 AFRICAN MEMOIR
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.04.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1100m, Turf, R200,000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: NORTH POINT is much better than his last run, ignore that completely, he is a smart gelding with lots of ability, he should bounce back to his best form now that he is sprinting again at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. DEMANDING DAVE was given a top ride by jockey Andrew Fortune on the 13th of January, he was given three points for that impressive win last time, he looks progressive, and he has a sharp turn of foot late, he will be competitive again. TEFLON MAN never runs a bad race, he will be flying at them late, if the gaps open at the right time, he will be involved at the finish. BEWARE finished just over one length behind Jet Force at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 14th of February, the yard thinks highly of this colt, the drop in trip to 1100m might help him get his head in front again, watch him closely with top jockey Richard Fourie in the saddle.
Selections: #3 NORTH POINT, #9 DEMANDING DAVE, #8 TEFLON MAN, #6 BEWARE
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 01.04.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1100m, Turf, R110,000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: WHIRLWIND ran a great race for second behind Seven No Trump on the 22nd of February, she is a young filly with lots of ability, she can definitely win a race like this on her current form. HAMPSTEAD HEATH stayed on well for third in the same race as Whirlwind last time, her form is rock solid, she will be super competitive, include her into all bets. MARITZBURG MEMORY could be some nice place value in this race, she has dropped one point in the ratings from her last run on the 22nd of February, she will be running on strongly late, keep a close eye on her at a big price. OCTOBER FEST was beaten just over nine lengths by her stable companion in the Listed Lady’s Pendant at Fairview Racecourse on the 20th of February, that was a much stronger field than what she faces here, she will run a big race at a nice price.
Selections: #3 WHIRLWIND, #6 HAMPSTEAD HEATH, #2 MARITZBURG MEMORY, #9 OCTOBER FEST
Best Win: #3 SPARKLING STAR
Best Value Bet: #2 SOMMERSTERN
