Race 1
1 MASTER BOMBER ran a lovely race last time from a wide draw at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, he should love racing up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, on his best form with natural improvement still to come, he will go very close here. 16 BEL CANTO DREAM ran a fair race on debut in a big field behind Cork Bay on the 16th of November, he will improve lengths from that run, watch him closely. 15 PHIL THE FLUTER stayed on really well in his last start behind Rafa Bay in a work riders race, he looks to be improving with every start, include him into all bet types. 18 KAISARISSA improved beautifully in his last start over 1200m when running third behind Golden Destiny, he will get better with every start and must be respected.
(Brandon Bailey: 1 – 16 – 15 – 18)
Race 2
8 CATCH A PENNY moved up powerfully in her last start when running third behind Back At The George on the 16th of November, the blinkers now get fitted and that should unlock the improvement needed to exit the maiden ranks here, she is a nice filly that should win quite a few races for the connections. 2 OCOTILLO drops back in trip now for her third career start, her first two runs to date have been very good, she is still improving and should go very close to winning here. 6 ANGEL’S OASIS stayed on nicely for third in a big field last time at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, she looks progressive and must be respected in this field. 4 WINTER GAMBLE is much better than her recent run, if she can put that performance behind her, she could sneak into the places.
(Brandon Bailey: 8 – 2 – 6 – 4)
Race 3
7 HANG OUT THE STARS quickened up in good fashion to win a great race on the 11th of December, she should go very close to winning again if this race hasn’t come too soon for her. 1 MELA STRENGTH never really runs a bad race, his form is fair, from a good draw here, if he can produce a similar performance of his last run, he can definitely earn. 6 OZARK is much better than his recent start behind Tothemoonandback, he should appreciate the drop back in trip to 1600m, watch for big improvement from him. 3 AZZURRI will need to improve big time on his last run to be competitive here, he is far better than that performance and this is a drop-in class for him, he could pop up at a good price.
(Brandon Bailey: 7 – 1 – 6 – 3)
Race 4
8 LITTLE LEXI ran a cracking second behind Frida Kahlo on the 26th of November, she is not the biggest of fillies around, but she is all heart, if she can get some luck in this race from a tricky draw, she will be competitive again. 10 WEHAVEASITUATION ran a fair race last time when finishing just over two lengths behind the winner, she is consistent and will be running on strongly late. 4 WARBIRD ran a much better race on the 5th of November behind Forgotten Song, she drops back in trip now and the blinkers have been fitted, watch for big improvement from her. 9 ALESSIA ASHEVILLE disappointed in her most recent start behind Senhora Victoria, she was made to work early and then stopped quite badly late, with some luck in running, she can bounce back to best form.
(Brandon Bailey: 8 – 10 – 4 – 9)
Race 5
1 VICTOR HUGO ran a brilliant second on the 26th of November at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth in a big field, he is a lovely looking sort that will appreciate the step up in trip now to 1600m, from a good draw, he will be very hard to beat. 11 BOUNCEBACK stayed on well to finish just under three lengths behind Major Master last time, the blinkers stay on, if he can get some luck in running from a wide draw here, he could trouble Victor Hugo in the finish. 8 SECRET PASSAGE should enjoy the step up in trip to 1600m, he is still learning what racing is all about, he could easily finish in the money here at a decent price. 10 SCOTTISH LINKS has been quite disappointing since his maiden run, hopefully the step up in trip will help him improve.
(Brandon Bailey: 1 – 11 – 8 – 10)
Race 6
9 DAWN TILL DUSK finished like a train to win going away in his last start on the 19th of November at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he beat a very nice field and looks extremely progressive, with no weight on his back, he will be very hard to beat again. 3 KING PELLES has been in terrific form of late, he was super unlucky in his last start when running second behind Navy Strength, he is honest and should give a good account of himself again. 10 SOLOMONS SEAL needed his last run on the 16th of November behind Big Unit, he is a beautiful looking gelding that tries hard, in hope that there is some pace in the race, he should be finishing strongly late, watch him closely. 4 PREVALENCE comes back to the track from a small break, on his best form he can certainly earn for the connections.
(Brandon Bailey: 9 – 3 – 10 – 4)
Race 7
18 DANCE VARIETY has been an absolute soldier for the connections, Adam Marcus has done a wonderful job with this five-year-old gelding, he won a super race last time beating Gimmelightning with absolute ease, he will be stalking the speed and running on powerfully late, include him into all bets. 17 KING OF THE GAULS has been rested for 147 days, he is a lovely horse with a great action, there is no doubt that he is one of the better sprinters around at the moment, if he doesn’t need the run badly, he will go close to winning. 15 MEU CAPITANO was mighty unlucky last time in the Bantry Bay Stakes when finishing second, his prep going into this race has been perfect, he will give them all something to think about in the finish. 1 CAFE CULTURE won the Grade 2 Post Merchants very well at Hollywoodbets Greyville last time, he looks to be getting better and better with age.
(Brandon Bailey: 18 – 17 – 15 – 1)
Race 8
2 SWIATEK ran a lovely race out of the maiden ranks behind Family Power last time, she is clearly still improving with racing, from a good draw here and the services of champion jockey Richard Fourie, she must have a very good each way chance. 1 PHILOSOPHISE will love the step back up in trip to 1400m, even though she is carrying a big weight of 62kgs on her back, she will remain competitive at this level. 4 ALL IS GREEN stayed on well in her last start to run third behind Berry’s Boogie, she is way above average this filly, from a good draw and stepping up in trip, she must be respected in a big way. 9 MIRACULOUS had absolutely no luck in running last time, if she relaxes early in the race, she will be eating up the ground late.
(Brandon Bailey: 2 – 1 – 4 – 9)
Race 9
13 DAFNES DAUGHTER has been very consistent since she won her maiden on the 26th of July, she ran a top race behind a very smart filly last time, this looks to be a nice race for her to be competitive again. 2 IN THE GREEN ZONE ran a fair race in a tricky Class 4 event last time, the blinkers go back on, she should be right there in the finish on her best form. 1 LOVE STORY quickened up smartly to win her maiden in style on the 26th of November, the yard has always rated this filly, now that she has won her maiden, she could certainly keep improving, watch her closely here for a big run. 4 LOVE SHACK is much better than her recent form, she gets a further rating drop which should help her chances at a decent price.
(Brandon Bailey: 13 – 2 – 1 – 4)
