GOING:

Hollywoodbets KENILWORTH WELCOMES YOU WORK RIDERS' MAIDEN PLATE 1100m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 22)    

Small field but plenty of pace engaged, including Red Wave, Volegov and Royal Desire. JOUEUR DE FLUTE (6) returns from a layoff of 11 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1250m at Durbanville. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. RED WAVE (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.1 lengths from the winner in third over 1000m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. THE BIG BANG (7) finished 1.3 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1000m at this track, an improvement on his sixth at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. VOLEGOV (2) ran below expectations last start, finishing tenth and beaten 9 lengths at this track over 1200m. Finds a nice race and can atone.
