Kenilworth Race 5 - Race Coast Incentives Powered By Hollywoodbets Maiden Plate
PROTECTOR OF PEACE (1) was safely held last start when ninth over 1600m at Durbanville. May appreciate the shorter journey this time. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best figures should see him run well. THE BIG BANG (2) has been thereabouts without winning, the latest finishing a neck fourth at this track and drops in the weights for this. Form sound for this and expected to run well. EUGENIUS (5) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 1250m at Durbanville. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Winning claims on best figures. HILTON HEADS (7) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished fourth over 1250m at Durbanville. Key player.
