Hollywoodbets KENILWORTH WELCOMES YOU MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 17)    

Anticipating good pressure with many of these facing the starter for the first time. EL COHETE (1) remains a maiden after five runs. Met with plenty of support last time but could only manage to finish fourth over 1000m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. WREATH OF SNOW (2) is a well-related three-year-old colt making his first appearance at the races. By Vercingetorix from the stakes winner Snowdance who has produced Grade 1 winner Snow Pilot. RUST NEVER SLEEPS (6) ran a much better race at his second outing last start to finish third over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BOLERO (7) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 8 lengths from the winner in fourth at this track over 1200m. Nicely placed and deserves respect.
