After a few rainy days, Hollywoodbets Kenilworth’s eleven-race programme is set to go ahead today on officially ‘soft’ ground with the first due off at 11h20.
The Gr3 Langerman and the Listed Irridescence Stakes are the feature headliners on this programme.
Trainer Vaughan Marshall sends out Dreamworld in the Gr3 Langerman.
Dreamworld beats Absolutely Yes at his last start – they clash again today (Pic – Chase Liebenberg)
He showed good speed when winning the Grade 3 Winter Nursery over 1100m last time. The son of One World looks to have plenty of class.
He steps up to 1500m from a good draw of two and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he may find himself in the winner’s enclosure once again.
Trainer Justin Snaith has a quartet of runners in the Langerman, and a case could be made for each one of them.
JP van der Merwe had the choice of rides and opted for Randolph Hearst, who recently went down a head to stablemate Roland Garros over the course and distance.
Happy Verse is unbeaten in his two starts and will again be ridden by Andrew Fortune. The son of Vercingetorix won a 1400m race last time in open company with ease. He could be anything and must be included in all bets!
Rikkitikkitavi from the Andre Nel stable takes her place in Race 9.
She made the expected natural improvement when winning her maiden over this course and distance.
It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since.
The daughter of Querari takes on stronger, but she has plenty of scope and should be up to the task at hand.
Please note that Ashton Arries is not riding today.
