SAF - KENILWORTH   13 May 2025
 
GOING: GS

HOBDAY EQUESTRIAN ENTERPRISES CLASS 4 1500m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 21)    

Fast tempo assured with Hunga Tonga, La Divina and Lady Look Alike going toe-to-toe. KLEINZEE (7) made it two wins in succession last start when she scored by a long neck over 1600m at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LA DIVINA (3) was in the firing line on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1600m at Durbanville after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. UNA THE UNICORN (9) comes here off a win last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Will appreciate the drop in the weights. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Strong claims on best figures. JOU LEKKER DING (8) last appeared when she finished fifth over 1250m at Durbanville on March 8. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
