Kenilworth Race 5 - Winter Nursery (Grade 3) (2Yo)
NORTH POINT (5) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on April 21 over 1000m when he got home by 3.5 lengths. Winning rider Juan Paul V'd Merwe retains the mount. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is good enough to take this out. DREAMWORLD (4) was far from disgraced after being in contention on the corner to finish 2 lengths away in second last start over 1200m at this track. That followed a win on debut at this track. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a major player. ALL THE RAGE (6) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1100m at this track three weeks ago. Key runner. MATCH THAT (8) scored on debut last start over 1000m at this track on 16/04/2025, finishing a head ahead of the nearest rival. Major contender.
