There will be huge TAB pools and big carryovers, so hopefully we can guide the punters in the right direction.Last week also saw the running of a few feature races in Kenilworth and one horse that really caught my eye was Beach Bomb who won the Irridescence Stakes in phenomenal style. Ready To Charge has very good form and his last run when third has worked out very well. It looks as if this race has been the plan since then. He rates a definite runner and must be included in bets.
Oriental Bouquet was very unlucky last time and has everything going for her this time. She should be the one to beat. Tempting Fate has his third run after a rest and tries further after quite a while. If he stays he must be a definite runner. Race 5 is the Grade 1 World Pool Moment Of The Day Champions Stakes over 1600m and I ride Kyomai who was unlucky last time and is clearly a very nice horse.This could be the race of the day if all the main protagonists turn up, but I’ve always maintained Lucky Lad is the best juvenile around and his performance in the Grade 1 Gold Medallion last time was breathtaking.
Race 6 is the Grade 1 Mercury Sprint over 1200m and I ride William Robertson who is a high-class horse at his best and ran extremely well in this race last year.However, my best bet on the card is Gimme A Prince. This is the best sprinter in the land and he beat the majority of these horses given them weight.I think he is a banker in all bets and will be a very hard horse to beat.
Richard Fourie eased him down last time and he still cruised to a comfortable victory. He is a young, improving stayer who has more to come.Aragosta ran another honest and creditable race last time out. He unfortunately just can’t get his head in front but he is a classy horse and rates the main danger.
See It Again ran one of the races of the season in the Durban July but historically that race does take it out of horses and so that’s my major concern.Al Muthana is the main danger after a phenomenal run in the Gold Challenge. He is a lovely horse who won the King’s Plate, so he must be included in all bets.
