GOING: G

HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH WELCOMES YOU MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 21)    

Tricky one to map with a large contingent of first starters but expect plenty of early pressure. BANK STREET (12) showed improvement when second in his last start here over this trip. He fought on at the finish but had to settle for second. He is a progressive type and he can go one better. LATE DECEMBER (10) is better than his last start as he was reported to have a mouth injury. He finished a head behind the top choice on debut. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish. TURBO TWENTY (7) may not have seen out the 1400m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. He will enjoy the drop back to 1200m and cannot be ignored. EXPRESS YOURSELF (5) is an unraced son of Trippi from the Justin Snaith stable with Richard Fourie in the saddle. If not in need of this outing, he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances
