Hollywoodbets Kenilworth Summer Course Saturday 28 February 2026 – Comments by Brandon Bailey

PUBLISHED: 27 February 2026

RACE 1

The majority of the field step out for the very first time, so the market will be our best guide-watch for any strong support late on. With no exposed form to go on, breeding, stable confidence and parade ring impressions could prove crucial. The only runner with race experience didn’t show much on debut and was well beaten, that said, natural improvement second time out is always possible. (Brandon Bailey: 2 – 7 – 3 – 1)

RACE 2

1 TENPENNY won a great race at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 11th of February, he was given six points for that victory, provided that he stays this trip of 2500m, he will be hard to beat. 5 ERIC LIDDELL stayed on nicely for third behind Note To Self on the 31st of January, he is a big horse with a great action, he will love this trip, watch him closely, he can definitely win a race like this. 6 GENTLEMAN JOE finished just over two lengths behind Eric Liddell last time, he carried top weight on that occasion, and still managed to run a super race, he is honest, and he tries hard, there is no doubt that he will be competitive on his best form. 2 LANDOFTHERISINGSUN ran third behind Tenpenny on the 11th of February at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, he likes to be on speed early, if he stays this trip, he can finish amongst the places.
