Kenilworth Race 5 - Racecape Powered By Hollywoodbets Maiden Plate
BETTER MAN (11) resumes from a spell during which time he was gelded. He should enjoy the rise to 1600m and if not in need of the run, he may find himself in the winner's enclosure. BALZI ROSSI (10) took on winners in his last start run over 1500m on this course. His penultimate run when third over 1400m was encouraging. If finding the form of that outing, he should be involved in the finish. SET TO MUSIC (2) ran a good race when second over this course and distance last time. He is having his peak run and will be cherry-ripe. Andrew Fortune steps back into the saddle and from his good draw of two, he can finish in the placings. SMART HORSE (5) resumes from a spell and is having his first start from a new stable. Fresh-up is expected to be finishing in the money.
