Racing returns to Hollywoodbets Kenilworth this afternoon and nine races are carded.
There are three feature races today, including the Grade 3 Cape Classic, Listed Southeaster Sprint and the Non-Black Type Need For Speed Sprint.
The first is due off at 12h50.
Charles Dickens from the Candice Bass-Robinson yard takes his place in the Grade 3 Cape Classic. He was super-impressive when winning his last start over 1250m. He quickened up well at the top of the lane and was geared down in the latter stages.
The son of Trippi should love the step up to 1400m. He has loads of class about him and should keep his unbeaten record intact.

Lucinda Woodruff saddles The Second Wave in the lucky last race. He stayed on when fourth over 1250m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. It must be noted that Silvano’s Dasher has come out and won again since.
He has won once and finished second twice from as many starts over this course and distance. He will strip a much fitter horse today and with S’manga Khumalo in the saddle, he can return to winning ways.
