Hollywoodbets Kenilworth
Race 7 – 15:35
1800m – Celebrating Centurion Member Gina Goldsmith’s Birthday Maiden Plate
3 – Asinantanga
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Zante by Ideal World (USA)
Trainer: Adam Marcus
Jockey: Corne Orffer
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 3 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He had excuses in his last start over 2000m. He does meet a competitive field with a few horses having decent winning chances. The son of Rafeef is fit and very well heading into this race. Corne Orffer is booked to ride and from his good draw of three, we are hoping to see him finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:77. Is lightly raced. Trainer’s only runner today. Chance on penultimate run.

Race 8 – 16:10
1600m – Buy Tickets To WSB Cape Town Met On Quicket Class 3
2 – Maphaka
Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Ghaalla by Var (USA)
Trainer: Dean Kannemeyer
Jockey: Craig Bantam
Wgt: 52.5kg
Draw: 2 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He steps up to 1600m for the first time and carries a handy galloping weight of 52.5kgs. The stable feels that he will enjoy the step up in distance and he is in good order heading into this race. The son of Gimmethegreenlight jumps from a good draw of two and we are hoping to see a form return.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:94. Better than moderate latest. Carries a light mass and should enjoy the step up in distance.

Race 10 – 17:20
2000m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future C Stakes
10 – Mike’s Mazarin
Breeding: Futura – San Trip by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Dean Kannemeyer
Jockey: Gareth Wright
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 10 (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
He has been disappointing in his last two runs in Cape Town. He is a fit horse and is doing well in the lead up to this race. The son of Futura does carry a big mass of 61.5kgs but does drop in class. He must overcome a wide draw and we are hoping to see him involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Howells D C-2024.08.22. 3rd run after rest. Best MR:90. Disappointing last two runs. Needs to improve.
