Hand In Hand With Fourie Today

First race off @ 12h40

Hollywoodbets Kenilworth plays host to a nine-race programme this afternoon. The feature race of the day is the Gr3 Summer Fling Stakes.

Don’t forget to take the free-to-play Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge with the first due off at 12h40.

Hold My Hand from the Glen Kotzen stable takes her place in Race 7.

She was her own worst enemy in the Gr3 SplashOut Victress Stakes as she lost two lengths leaving the start and over raced in the early stages.

However, the way she stayed on at the finish was encouraging. She will strip a much fitter horse.

If Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Richard Fourie can switch her off early, she should be too good for this field.

Trainer Candice Bass-Robinson sends out Benjamin in Race 9.

He has taken on much stronger company in his last two starts.

He has won three times, finished second twice and third once from twelve starts over this course and distance.

The 6yo gelding takes a drop-in class and on best form shown, he may be the one to beat.
