Kenilworth Race 3 - Riethuiskraal Stud Class 5
MELA STRENGTH (1) ran on from last when third over 1800m on this course last time. He is coming along the right way and is drawn in the pole position. Calvin Habib is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most. OZARK (6) finished 3 lengths behind the top pick in sixth place last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and he may have to settle for the same result. He has won twice, finished second once, and third once from seven starts here over this trip. Richard Fourie steps back into the saddle and the combination cannot be ignored. HANG OUT THE STARS (7) won a good race over 1400m last time. She finished only a head behind the second pick, three runs ago. Each way value. BEER WITH THE BOYS (8) won a good race when shedding his maiden tag here over this trip last start. He is up in class, but has plenty of scope and should be up to the task at hand.

Useful gelding. Returns from a 29-day let-up. At the latest run won by 1.75 len at this track November 23 over 1600m defeating Future Frequency carrying 55kg at $17. Before that 5th of 8 at Fairview on October 4 over 2000m, 6 len behind Gardener's Pride carrying 60kg at $5.50. Broke through last time and is worth thought again.
