Kenilworth Race 9 - Hollywoodbets Bright Future Mr 74 Apprentice Hcp
NADIA NERINA (2) Really dug deep when winning last run at Durbanville and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Putting a tidy record together so far. Looks well suited in this race. RUBY REX (5) Struggled when 9th last run at Durbanville but gets some weight taken off. In a purple patch of form this preparation. Appears well in this. AXIS POWER (7) Brave effort to win narrowly by 1/2L last run at Durbanville and will appreciate the drop in weight. Has shown early pace in races to date. Respect. BARNEY MCGREW (1) Ran 4th last run at Durbanville but has drawn to do little work. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.

Kept coming when fourth in an Open at Durbanville last start, beaten a length and a half by Axis Power after being an outside chance in the betting. He had been fifth to Peace Of Mind at the same venue, so the recent form is honest rather than dominant. The strong point is the profile at this track and distance, with five wins and ten places from 27 starts, keeping him in the minor-placing mix.

Returns from a five-week freshening after winning a FM MPLTE at Durbanville, scoring by a head from Nannie Gold while easing near the top of an open market. That came after a fifth as favourite, so the latest effort was the right response. Third-up with weight relief and the top-ranked trainer by wins at this track, she has the profile to run well again without being a clear top pick.

Returned with a much better run at Durbanville, finishing third in an Open and beaten just under a length by Axis Power despite starting at long odds. His previous run at this venue was poor, beaten over 12 lengths, and the 1000m record is only modest, but the light weight and second-up fitness give him scope to bridge the small gap on the favourite. He looks the clearest danger if he holds that level.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending the previous campaign with a second-last in a BM79 at this track, beaten just over seven lengths at big odds. His earlier fifth in a BM70 was only fair, and he has no wins from 16 starts around 1000m despite five placings. The 4kg claim helps, but he has to produce a sharper fresh run than recent figures suggest.

Was well-supported favourite at Durbanville last start but finished second last in an Open, beaten just under four lengths by Axis Power. Her prior second to Meg's Legacy in a FM BM70 was much stronger, and she has won at this track and distance, so there is a case for a rebound. Even so, she must turn that market respect into a better result to threaten.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing last in an Open at Durbanville, beaten six lengths, which leaves her with work to do fresh. The run before that was a positive one, winning a MPLTE at this track by just under two lengths from Captain's Lass, and her track record is sound from limited starts. This is a tougher profile to trust until she shows she has come back in that form.

Returns from a three-month break after consecutive seconds, the latest at this track when beaten just under a length by Palace Gift as an outside chance in betting. He had also run close behind Moody Blue at Durbanville, but he remains winless from 12 starts in the past 12 months. His track-and-distance record gives him place interest rather than a firm winning push.
