Kenilworth - Tuesday
15 years 4 months ago
I'm going to put the comingling farce out of my head and try to concentrate on racing tomorrow.
I fancy two runners tomorrow:
Santa Barbara (Race 3)
Bravura (Race 6) (Not too strong on this one - just a prep for the Derby but should win this)
Happy punting

I still think he will win, but just not sure as he is being lined up for the derby.
At the weights he should not loose and he is running against some very moderate opposition (no disrespect to Malcomino Hotline), but with these MR handicaps and 3 year olds against older horses one just never knows.

Bravura is FormStar's best bet. Computed odds of 22-10, but unlikely you will find that. Will likely start odds-on. Maybe better value to be found with Double Exposure in the 2nd, and League of Honour in the 8th.

Race 1:
Grey Rose was nominated and is carded to run on Met day in a listed juvenile event which by nature is competitive. On the strength of that, this Ramsden & Hatt runner might be worth considering.
PA pointers:
Leg1: Directorate, National Play/Double Exposure (banker or pick 2)
Leg2: Santa Barbara, Twighlight Wolf, Weatherman (pick 2)
Leg3: On The Green, Betty Burke, Beyond Measure, Legendary Flight (pick 3)
Leg4: Achybreakyheart, Respectable Lady, Mystery Dame, Hip Hop Queen (pick 3)
Leg5: Bravura, Master Landing/Captains League (banker or pick 2)
Leg6: Bali Mojo, Hades, Bader, Peacan Stream, King Leonidas (pick 3)
Leg7: League Of Honour, Upton Park (banker or pick 2)

NICCI GARNER - Class counts, no matter what the distance, and Bravura can put himself in the reckoning for top honours in the R600,000 Investec Cape Derby in less than two weeks by winning Race 6 at Kenilworth tomorrow, a MR 95 Divided Handicap over 1400m.
Of course, winning over 2000m is a far cry from 1400m for most horses, who are generally not that versatile. However, the Joey Ramsden-trained gelding has shown he is well above average in retaining his unbeaten record in three career starts.
And those victories include a success over this course and distance last month, when he got the better of Lancelin by 1.25 lengths.
The son of Silvano then showed his liking for further two weeks later by trouncing Quickshot by 2.25 lengths over the Derby course and distance.
Though each of those races has produced a subsequent winner, the form of neither has been outstanding. But, Bravura seems to do enough each time to win well.
The panel of handicappers has him rated a 92 - four points below Master Landing, the top-weighted runner in this race. However, Bravura can show he’s better than that assessment.
He will certainly need to be if he is to have any chance of beating the likes of Cape Guineas winner Noordhoek Flyer or the horses who finished behind him in that race, Kiss Again (third),
Ancestral Fore (fourth) and Bold Silvano, in the Cape Derby - and some experts have already said they believe he is.
Master Landing looks second-best. Justin Snaith’s son of Jet Master has won easily over this course and distance in his last two starts. In the first, he turned on the speed late to beat Malcolmino by 2.25 lengths. He is a whopping 6kg worse off, but is bang in form and should come out ahead again.
He followed up less than two weeks later when justifying loads of support to beat Earl Of Litchfield by 1.50 lengths. Having posted four of his six wins over this trip and finished unplaced just once, he can be considered a course-and-distance specialist and warrants respect.
However Bravura looks the most promising banker on a weak card. There are a couple of other possibilities, though.
Double Exposure was out-pointed in the Selangor Cup over 1600m at this track in November in his last run, but plummets in class and should take National Play’s measure in Race 2.
In Race 3, Twilight Wolf could eventually graduate from the maiden ranks in his 14th career start. He has been knocking at the door in his two most recent outings and was beaten only a head by Motorized over 1000m here last month. He is holding form, but his best efforts have come over that distance and a few runners will expose any chinks in his ability to maintain his momentum over this 1100m trip.
His chief threat might be Buhlebami, who ran a promising fifth behind Cree Lodge over 1200m in his debut but then faded over 1400m next time out and has been rested for seven months. Look past these two and the race becomes a minefield.
Betty Burke in Race 4 might be worth a small Eachway wager, while Upton Park in Race 8 is worth another chance in Race 8.
Upton Park finished unplaced for the first time in his career last time out, but is better than that and should prefer the 1800m he tries for the first time.
