Kenilworth Race 2 - Bet With Tote Www.tote.co.za Open Maiden
VERCICAT (12) turned in an eye-catching run when resuming last start over this course and distance, finishing second and beaten only 0.8 lengths. Ready to find winning form. EUGENIUS (2) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths into sixth. Has the talent to take care of this field. LAVA STRIKE (11) missed the placings on debut two runs back then didn't feature last start when 12 lengths away in seventh over 1200m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is set to turn things around. THE MUFFIN MAN (3) returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 1400m at this track. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.

Comes off a 37 day let-up. At the latest run second last of 9 at Durbanville on March 21 over 1250m, 6 len behind Fortune One carrying 49.2kg at $7.50. The start before that 2nd of 9 at this track on February 25 over 1200m, long-neck behind Alessia Asheville with 51.5kg at $9. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
