Taking my chances at Kenilworth with the double :-
R2) Figure Of Grey, on breeding should appreciate the extra, coupled with a decent draw, should prevail here.
R4) Prudence Prevails, admittedly has had a few chances to date, but this doesn't appear to be the strongest opposition. If she gets away on terms, from a good draw she must be the one they all have to beat.
Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy.
Kenilworth had heavy rain on Tuesday afternoon and night, and further soaking drizzle today. The forecast is promising, so we should race, but the going is bound to be heavy/soft.
The weatherman was spot on for a change- lovely sunny day in CT.
Race 1: Herando's Promise drops in class after fair showing in two features. Only concern is that he has run better on good going than on soft. William the Brave is a full brother to Bravura, so the step up in trip should suit, and is the selection. Pure Logic is on the upgrade and should also enjoy the trip. Fire in the Belly has fair form and he and Eastern Pearl could challenge. All Night Long has been running in open company and will be more competitive against his own age group. Box these 6 in the quartet.
Race 2: The fillies race is much weaker than the colts, and Figure of Grey is deservedly odds-on. Sign your Name ran a shocker last time, but could challenge. On That Note and Royal Fleece have money chances.
Race 3: Imperial Dancer has been most consistent, but a perennial bridesmaid. He should finally crack his maiden today. Gyre and Stormy City should chase him home.

Race 4: This looks a trappy sort of race. Prudence Prevails has had many chances, but seems to lack guts. Northern Ballet perhaps not yet ready for the 2000m her last two runs, and may improve back over this shorter trip. The main challenge may come from the two year olds, and Colorado Rose could be the one, despite coming back from a break. LA Rocks and On the Clock put up fair debuts, and could be anything.
Race 5: We have Be Fabulous running in a very open race. She ran disappointingly last time and gets another wide draw. This is her optimum trip, and her work has been good enough. She drops to a MR67 and has an each way shout off this mark. Silver Stripe has most scope for improvement. Me Myself and I and In Limine are consistent and should be thereabouts.
Race 6: A small field but another tricky contest. Waiting for Rain is my first choice.
Hi Bob.did beat absolutely nothing by 0.35 lengths...blocked around 5x last 300m...lotus elan should've won by 10lengths+.....made up ground last 50m like an ill-fated concorde
